IIUM Angklung Club AGM Report

Date: 3rd October
Venue: Edu Square
By: Q
The AGM was conducted smoothly despite a late start. It was initiated with do'a recitation, followed by reports by the club's treasurer and secretary. The club proved to have unanimous trust for Rasyid to be the club's president as he was once again elected and won the seat. (Oh, that started to sound political which is queer). The mainboard does not change much with only few ammendments which are hoped to be much more effective. Muhd Zulhilmi shone as the most popular member as he won most of the 'awards'. There was dinner cum birthday bash for members whose birthdays were on November till March.
The floor dispersed at about 11 pm after a quick post mortem.
