It's on the Trust website, presented as being via the Trust from the Trust's chief PR guy ( retired ) on CCMB.
Yet it actually appears, reading the text, to have been an email to an INDIVIDUAL Trust member rather than official communication with the Trust...
You can tell it's been deliberately misrepresented based upon the glowing pro-Trust comments on that thread.

Why the sniping against the Trust?

I know the Malaysians are thinking over the Dave Jones issue very carefully for the moment whilst pointing out that we as fans and the club as a whole need to keep the focus.

Tg is a man of very few words via email, his last email to me when i asked him about his thoughts on 8 points out of 30 and DJs position, he replied, "We are monitoring the situation", and "great win against Leeds".

So you'll correct those in the thread praising the communication from the Trust then? No? Why didn't a Trust official post it on CCMB? Now, if permission was given for it to be pulished, why was it published on CCMB by a Trust official who resigned?
You know damn well why it was published the way it was. Cynical.

It is made quite clear on both that it was sent to a trust member and U Jiun then permission for it to be published on the Trust website
Someone in the thread then mistakenly says that it was sent to the trust.
However despite lookng through the thread I saw no glowing tributes to the trust. Perhaps you couild point them out to me out to me
In the word of the bard
Much ado about nothing

Enquiring minds would want to know why the post on CCMB was made not by a Trust offical but by someone who flounced/resigned from the Trust board a while ago...

"This e-mail was sent by U-Jiun Tan to a Trust member on the day of the Leeds game in response to an e-mail the fan had sent him. I don't know about you but I suspect Messrs Jones and Jenkins had other things to do on Tuesday rather than vet e-mails from board members.
Having been forwarded the contents of the e-mail, the Trust reps believed it would be good if all fans could read U-Jiun's words, so they asked for his permission to copy it on the Trust website and send a copy to the members. That permission was granted. "
So, this email which many on CCMB are lauding as showing how effectively the Trust is, much better than rumours/updates from fans in fact had sweet FA to do with the Trust.
Anyone mailing U-Juin would have got a reply, irrespective of afiliation with a Trust or not; yet it's a mail publicised by the Trust. Of course, a certain person way too clever to outright lie - but it's clear the motivation for publicising was PR for the Trust...

Yes, someone mistakenly claims U-Juin sent it to the Trust.
No tributes to the trust? Didn't look very closely, eh?

"Will we get Regular Tan's Updates hehe
On a serious note i wish this is how all news from the club came out not through Rumours or updates from fans."
"I agree with a previous poster on wishing this is how we got info. A couple of e mails a month would be grand.
I'm sick of hearing about SH,PR,individal fans trying to be important,rumours and so called people in the know.
Fans as a body are important not individuals."
"That is the whole point of joining the trust mate so there are no rumours"
"Must admit Felt the same, and I have to say if this email message came from anyone else other than the supporters trust I would be very unsure of its truths.
It's word perfect to our concerns. I shall put trust in the trust, and take this email as trust worthy"
====
Face facts - somebody contacted Mr Tan. Anyone - doesn't need to be a Trust member - could do so.
Some Trust officials - and TLG's involvement leads me to believe he's still influential in there despite his martyrdom - decided to get publicity for themselves, get permission, get it published...
I can see why. They do need the members.

FFS sherlock, who gives a shit.
I can't beleive how so many people are determined to spend their time trying to dirty other peoples info. - you get this sort of thing on here, bitching at the Trust, then people picking on Carl's stuff on CCMB - it is pathetic.
I'm more interested in what it says -as he's clearly an important member of our board, and as Tan's son could have a massive influence on how this club progresses. .
