  It follows from a recent paper by Ding and Wang that any ring which is
generalized supplemented as left module over itself is semiperfect. The purpose
of this note is to show that Ding and Wang's claim is not true and that the
class of generalized supplemented rings lies properly between the class of
semilocal and semiperfect rings. Moreover we rectify their claim by introducing
a wider notion of local submodules.
