Members' Dialogue - 27 December 2011

On 27 December 2011, members in Perak were treated to a members’ dialogue cum luncheon held at a local club here in Ipoh graced by the presence of the CTIM President, two council members and a technical manager of CTIM. The event was well attended.

The President shared his plans for the Institute, updated the members present of the current status of on-going developments and welcomed feedback. Among the matters noted were the expansion of the CTIMsecretariat, MOUs with China, Australia and Indonesia, the Integrated Management System (IMS), investing in Technology to facilitate dissemination of information (ie eCTIM etc), sub-committees initiatives, attracting new members, practicing certificates etc.

The President also urged the CTIM Perak committee to engage with the IRB, Customs and relevant state agencies in Perak to promote the CTIM brand.

Council members and the technical manager present chipped in to update members on recent developments involving the Ministry of Finance and the Inland Revenue in relation to the tax profession. Members present also shared their views.

It was indeed an unforgettable encounter for many as members in Perak had never been so timely updated before with these recent on-going developments.

The President and his entourage then capped off the visit to Ipoh, Perak with a courtesy call to the IRB with the Branch Chairman, Mr Chak Kong Keong and committee members of CTIM Perak.
