SINGAPORE – Members of Singapore Recreation Club’s (SRC) billiards group are challenging a resolution in court that would turn the billiards room into a co-working space.
Mr Sean Kerwin Mathews and Mr Mu Yee Shyong, who are from the 142-year-old club’s billiards group committee, filed a claim with the High Court on Nov 19.
In documents seen by The Straits Times, they claim that the resolution did not receive a majority vote as required under the club’s Constitution and should be considered invalid.
Members voted on three resolutions at an extraordinary general meeting on Oct 18.
proposal to move the club’s billiards room
from the second floor to basement two to make space for a co-working area, which entailed a land betterment charge of $4.9 million.
This was voted down after the club’s management committee urged members to vote against it.
Members then voted on two other resolutions: converting the entire billiards room as initially planned, and an alternative option to convert more than half the space. Whichever resolution received more votes would be passed.
