00:00The Malaysian Dental Association, which was criticized by a group of dentists for planning

00:06its annual general meeting on May 4th in Sabah, has reminded them that it is a national-level

00:11society whose members are not based in the Klang Valley alone.

00:16MDA President Dr. Mas Surulis Ahmad said the association empathized with the predicament

00:22of peninsular-based members who might have to fork out more money to travel to Kota Kinabalu

00:27for the AGM.

00:28However, she said this is also the predicament faced by members from Sabah and Sarawak when

00:34AGMs are held in the peninsula.

00:37Surulis said in previous years, the association had hosted the AGM in different zones to ensure

00:43fairness and equity to all members.

00:46Earlier, FMT reported that a group of 50 dentists in the peninsula had questioned MDA's move

00:52to hold the AGM in Sabah, saying it would be costly for many of them to attend.

00:57Their spokesman, Dr. P Mahendran, said while members from the peninsula have to spend about

01:02RM3,000 each to attend the AGM, MDA would bear all expenses incurred by the 20 council

01:08members to go to Sabah.

01:11Surulis explained that all council members serve MDA on a voluntary basis without any

01:16compensation, and the organization believes it is fair to reimburse their travel and accommodation

01:22for official meetings.
