NAME : MR. K. SUBRAMANIAM
M’SHIP No : S128
DATE JOINED : 29 th October 1999
No. of YEARS : 24
HIGHLIGHTS : Golf Captain 2011 – 2016
: Hon. Secretary 2016 - Present
Mr K Subramaniam was first elected to the General Committee as
the Golf Captain in the year 2011. He served for 5 terms and brought
the Golf Section to greater heights despite the fact that we do not
have a golf course. Various tournaments were still being carried out
under his watch and he strived to make sure that our Golf Section
remained relevant and active with lots of interclub games as well as
in our Monthly Tournaments. We travelled far and wide to enjoy the
game greatly due to his diligence in making sure we kept up with the
game.
In 2016, we managed to convince him to upgrade himself to take up
the position of the Hononary Secretary.
Now with him in the positions for the last 7 years, we must honestly
say that many things have been restructured and streamlined in the
running of the Club’s affairs.
He introduced many procedures and made sure we followed them to
the book given his background as a lawyer. Sure, he made many
enemies along the way but he had firm in making sure each and
everyone of us followed the rules and regulations to the letter with no
favour to anyone.
Even if I as the President were to break any rules, I am sure he
would send me a letter too…hahahaha
With the recent need to look at the rules and constitution of the club
some of which dates back to 1885, Mr Subra was at the forefront of
looking at each and every line in the rules and his experience as a
renowned lawyer, guided us through many nights of discussions over
a few months and finally we were able to come up with the new
Constitution which we have sent for approval to Registrar of Society.
As such, we would like to honour Mr K Subramaniam for his years
of dedication to the club and for his service that has been beyond
compare which I am sure all of you here would rightly agree with me.
He has left his legacy in the club for us and the future members in
years to come.
