Last Wednesday 25th February 2009 was another sad page in the history of SMC. Last year's P&F executives (President and Vice President) were re-elected during the P&F AGM in what can be described as an ugly conspiracy, once again!!
Will we ever learn from our previous lessons??!!
Here it is, this is how it all unfolded:-
1. The P&F executives changed the election system to be "Pre-election Nomination" without consent of the parents body. Last year, the same individuals requested voting on very simple changes such as "changing the meeting day". Oh well, this time it is their suggestion and to their benefit so it's different. Hypocrisy at its best..
2. "The Nomination Form" signed by "P&F President 2008" was distributed on Thursday 19th February 2009 to be returned by Friday 20th February 2009!! Have you ever seen nomination system opened for ONLY 18 hours??!!
3. The meeting agenda was structured in the same manner as the agenda for the P&F meeting on Thursday 3rd July 2008 (the 1st P&F meeting after the alleged sexual assault case). The very last item on the agenda was, you guessed it, "Annual General Meeting" (2009 elections). It was designed to make many people sick, tired, frustrated and most likely leave the meeting before the election. Their supporters, who were on a mission, would of course stay until mission accomplished!!
4. "The P&F President 2008" denies receiving not even one single Nomination Form! It is guaranteed of at least a dozen forms were returned. Of course we will never know who was the nominees on those returned forms!!
"You shall destroy those who speak falsehood; The LORD abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful man." Psa 5 : 6
تُهْلِكُ الْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ بِالْكَذِبِ. رَجُلُ الدِّمَاءِ وَالْغِشِّ يَكْرَهُهُ الرَّبُّ." مز٥ : ٦"
5. Some of the voters had no children in the College! It's ok for them to attend as friends of the College but they should not have voting right as they are not financial members (fee-paying parents), just like any other association. But hey, we are not like the others!"... How long will you love worthlessness and seek falsehood?". Psa 4 : 2
حَتَّى مَتَى تُحِبُّونَ الْبَاطِلَ وَتَبْتَغُونَ الْكَذِبَ؟" مز٤: ٢"
6. There were reports that some of their friends "on a mission" left straight after the voting, which was a while before the closure of the meeting. Oh yes, mission accomplished!!
It has to be said that Fr Antonios Kaldas (the current Director) has pure angelic heart unable to see such conspiracy. May the Lord support and help him.
NB. For the record, the entire 2008 executive team made it clear last year on many occasions that they will not nominate themselves again because we do not deserve their service!! What has changed to alter their opinion?! Is the position very tempting, a cheeky one might ask??!!
However, "the P&F Secretary 2008" has decided to jump overboard and move back to St Mary Coptic College!! For its management and its P&F, please watch out as he could be on a mission there too?!!
