Latest from KLBBF

The 2010 Annual General Meeting ended with a high note and KLBBF is expected to move ahead with more zeal than compare to last year.

There's a slight change of office bearer as the previous person, En. Abdul Halim Bin Budin (KLBBF's Treasurer: 2009 - Mar 7, 2010) has stepped down from his office and has swapped his position with En. R. Murugan Renganathan, KLBBF's Committee Member since 2009. En.

His stepping down is due to his increasing workload as co-gym owner of his newly open gym in Kajang. Thus with the swap he will remain as a committee member of the Malaysian Bodybuilding Federation.

KLBBF would wish to thank En. Abdul Halim Budin for his services as Treasurer and his continue support & work as KLBBF's coach.

2nd: the much awaited 1st WPKL Inter-Gym & Clubs Bodybuilding Championships will make its run this year after a last minute technical hiccup last year. The organising committee will be chaired by En. G. Subramaniam who is also KLBBF's President, who hope to see more championships or bodybuilding contest to be organised in KL besides the annual Mr. KL championships. (details of it will be posted in the coming months).

3rd: Admittance of Private Owned Gyms (POG) as Associate Members to KLBBF. At present only Clubs which are registered with Pejabat Persuruhjaya Sukan (PPS) is admitted as Members' Clubs and it's members made up the bulk of KLBBF's committee. POG are those who are registered as business with Companies Commission of Malaysia (CCM) / Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM) as either with Register of Companies (ROC - Sdn.Bhd.) or Register of Business Malaysia (ROB - Sole Proprietorship or Partnership). An indepth look at the present KLBBF's constitution is being done to safeguard all parties concerned.

4th: A look-out for smart partnerships with individuals or corporate companies in the interest of sponsoring our athletes and association to run it's programs and activities. At present, KLBBF derives its funds from FT Sports Council (Majlis Sukan Wilayah Persekutuan) and the adminission fees to the annual Mr. KL championships. The former has informed all sports entities within Wilayah Persekutuan to create a creative platform to look for their own funds as the government (National or State) will not be forever assist in providing funds in the coming future. Thus KLBBF has to venture out and look for its niche and bodybuilding friendly corporate firms to fund its future programs & activities.
