Thanks for all the comments  and feedbacks. Thank you so much and really appreciated.  Please see the attached for your information.

Needless to say that it is highly imperative to be engaged with these sort of vital issues and to make use of these avenues in raising our view points to the authorities concerned. We believe that we have provided some very constructive comments and had made some valuable observations on this subject through our submission.

Now, may I also like to apprise you on the progress of the FINACT Constitution and would like to inform you that, it is currently being subjected to review by legal expert to ensure that our Constitition is in accordance with and abide by the Association Incorporation Act 1991.
