MACP Music Study Aid 2005 In our effort to encourage members to pursue a higher education in music, in 2003 MACP had revised its annual Music Study Aid program to accept only applications from members and their immediate family members. The grant depends on the type of course taken by the applicant but will not be more than RM2, 000 per year per recipient as it is meant to partially subsidize the course fees. The music course can be a short-term one eg for 2 to 3 months or it can be a degree program. However, please take note that only courses which are relevant to songwriting will be considered. Currently one member, En. Asmin Mudin who is in his third year Performance Art (Music) at Malaya University is enjoying this benefit. Other members or their family members who have received such aid before were Genervie Kam Shi Ling (ICOM), Mohd Azam Sulong (UPSI) and Huzzana Osman (U.M). Members interested in applying for this Music Study Aid, can contact MACP's Public Relations & Membership department for more information.   Penalty On Re-Issuance of Cheques and Banking of Cheques Into Members' Accounts Please take note that to reduce the occurrence of cancellation of cheques due to unreceived cheques (when members change their addresses without informing us) and to cope with the administration cost (for re-issuance of cheques and banking in members cheques), MACP is imposing the following penalties/charges on such transaction. The penalties/charges are as follows:- i) RM50.00 for stale cheques due to uninformed change of addresses; ii) RM15.00 for replacement of lost valid cheques; and iii) RM15.00 for banking in charges. Members are advised to promptly inform MACP if they were to change their addresses and/or contact numbers so as to avoid unnecessary penalties be imposed on them. Any change of addresses could be forwarded to MACP's office either by fax or post or e-mail to aishah@macp.com.my . On the same note members are also advised to bank-in their cheques into their accounts or cash them as soon as they receive them from MACP in order to avoid the cheques from being lost, misplaced or expired.   Medical (Financial) Assistance For Members During the Dialogue Session With Members held in February 2004, several senior members proposed that additional Unlogged Performance Allocation (UPA) be allocated for senior members since they may not be as active compared to the younger members. After much deliberation of the said proposal (of additional UPA) and after comparing it to a medical insurance coverage for members, the Board of Directors decided that instead of giving the said additional UPA or pay the insurance company for a medical coverage, MACP will set aside a sum equivalent to the amount of premium for a basic insurance coverage to reimburse members for medical (hospitalization only) expenses up to a cumulative sum of RM10,000 each. An application for any additional hospitalisation expenses will be decided by the Board. Members who qualify for such reimbusement will be those between 50 to 60 years old AND with a minimum of 50 works registered with MACP. They will need to submit proof of bills etc to claim from MACP. For those members ages below 50 years or above 60 years or whose total of works are less than 50, they can submit to MACP their  medical bills and MACP will consider on a case to case basis on the financial assistance to be given to them, if any.   Deed of Assignment MACP would like to strees the importance of members signing this Deed of Assignment which is necessary to enable MACP to administer and act on a member's behalf and subsequently make the necessary royalty payments to the member. Members who have yet to sign the same are encouraged to do so (kindly contact Pn. Aishah of MACP's Public Relations & Membership Department).
