(2) In the same Notice, it was stated that KLCA (along with 4 other State Associations) have been barred from attending the AGM due to:-
" Memandangkan negeri-negeri berikut gagal membayar yuran tahunan seperti yang dinyatakan dalam MCF Constitution Article 7 ( 7.2 ) tersebut diatas, maka negeri-negeri berikut tidak layak
untuk menghantar delegasi serta mengundi ataupun di undi semasa AGM.
Walaubagaimanapun negeri-negeri yang tersebut boleh menghantar 2 wakil sebagai Pemerhati."

(3) KLCA disputes the official reason given by MCF.
Many reasons can be offered by KLCA. 2 of it are as follows:-
A. MCF owes KLCA money.
The amount owing to KLCA is for KLCA helping to pay MCF's FIDE arrears in 2013.
The amount owing by MCF to FIDE was in EURO currency.
Amount paid by KLCA to FIDE is more than enough to pay for at least 20 years(if not more) of the yearly Annual Fees.
B. KLCA had written many times to MCF querying the amount to be paid and how it is to be paid.
The email sent is under the title;-
"Query on PAYMENT of YEARLY FEES by KLCA to MCF "
and was copied to Most (if not All) of the MCF EXCO Members that KLCA is aware of.
To-date, MCF have NOT replied to this email nor sent any invoice for the Yearly fees to be paid.
MCF have however found the time to invoice KLCA for 'alleged' ratings arrears.
