THE new executive committee of the Association of Women and Research (Aware) should consider stepping down if members cast a vote of no confidence against them, said Aware legal counsel at its extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on Saturday.

Mr Gregory Vijayendran said although a no confidence vote does not mean the exco has to step them, they should consider giving up.

The EGM, which got off to a rowdy start at about 2pm on Saturday in a function hall on the 4th floor of Suntec City Convention Centre, is being attended by some 2,000 members, a number of them who have just registered so that they could vote at the meeting.

The male members, who are associate members, cannot vote but a number of them turned up for the EGM.

Following a raucous opening, during which new exco president Josie Lau was booed and jeered by supporters of the old guard, and punctuated by angry outbursts which prompted security guards to step in to control the unruly members, members proceeded to vote.

The votes are being tallied.
