MALAYSIA… THE AGE OF DESTRUCTION — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ

```html MALAYSIA… THE AGE OF DESTRUCTION — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ MALAYSIA… THE AGE OF DESTRUCTION A reflection on institutions, habits, and morality — written in the voice of the street, the boardroom, and the rakyat. “If this is the Age of Destruction, it is not a natural disaster. It is a man-made one. And what is man-made can be unmade.” Ladies and gentlemen, I do not write this with joy. I write this with a heavy heart — a heart that has seen boardrooms, kampungs, sports fields, factories, ministries, and mamak tables. A heart that still loves this country enough to speak uncomfortable truths. Malaysia is not collapsing. But something is eroding. Slowly. Quietly. Repeatedly. And the most dangerous destruction is not caused by floods or earthquakes — it is cause...

There Are Leaders… And There Are People With Titles

There Are Leaders… And There Are People With Titles By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ There was a time early in my career when I thought titles meant everything. You walk into a corporate building, the glass doors open automatically, security greets the man in the suit differently, assistants stand up a little straighter when “Datuk” walks past. The name card is thicker. The office is bigger. The chair is higher. And for a moment, you think — this must be leadership. But over the years, consulting across GLCs and SMEs, sitting in strategy rooms, speaking on stages, training teams from operators to directors, having quiet kopi conversations with workers on the ground — I began to see something else. There are leaders. And there are people with titles. They are not the same. I remember one particular boardroom session. The chairman walked in late. No greeting. No eye contact. The atmosphere tightened instantly. People spoke careful...

Pengguna Motosikal Dikambinghitamkan | Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Pengguna Motosikal Dikambinghitamkan Oleh Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Setiap kali Kuala Lumpur lumpuh, setiap kali Lembah Klang bertukar menjadi tempat letak kereta paling panjang, pasti ada suara berkata, “Motorlah punca jem.” Benarkah? Atau kita sedang mencari jalan mudah untuk menyalahkan golongan yang hanya cuba menyesuaikan diri dengan sistem yang sedia ada? Satu Cerita Ringkas Di Jalan Raya Dua lelaki keluar rumah jam 6.30 pagi. Seorang memandu kereta. Air-cond terpasang. Kopi di sebelah. Dia seorang diri dalam kereta. Seorang lagi menunggang motosikal. Helmet dipakai. Panas terasa. Risiko sentiasa ada. Kedua-duanya mahu sampai ke tempat kerja. Mahu cari rezeki. Jalan mula perlahan. Bukan kerana motosikal. ...

The Bikers Are now the blacksheep of jam in Malaysia | Amarjeet Singh @ AJ

The Scapegoat Lane | Amarjeet Singh @ AJ The Scapegoat Lane By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Yesterday, I watched a familiar scene unfold on our roads. Not the jam. Not the horns. Not the chaos. I watched something more Malaysian than nasi lemak at dawn — the search for a scapegoat . When Kuala Lumpur chokes, when the Klang Valley turns into one long parking lot, someone will always point at the easiest target and say, “Haa… tu lah punca dia.” This time, the finger points at the motorcyclist. And honestly… I laughed first. Then I sighed. Because this is not just about traffic. This is about how easily we blame the people who are already struggling to survive the system . A Short Story From The Road Two men leave home at 6.30am. One drives a car. Air-...

When A Hockey Team Is Left To Wash Dishes – What Are We Really Building?

When A Hockey Team Is Left To Wash Dishes – What Are We Really Building? When A Hockey Team Is Left To Wash Dishes – What Are We Really Building? By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ There was a time when Pakistan hockey was feared. Not respected — feared. Four World Cups. Olympic gold. Asian dominance. Skill, artistry, speed. Today, we are reading headlines about unpaid hotel bills, cancelled bookings, players stranded at airports, and athletes washing dishes before stepping onto the field in the FIH Pro League . Pause for a moment. Forget the scoreline. Forget Australia’s dominance. Forget Germany’s structure. Ask a deeper question. How do you expect elite performance from players who don’t even know where they are sleeping? After a 24-hour journey from Lahore, players reportedly stood on the roads in Canberra because hotel bookings were not honoured. Funds were said to be released. Payments were said to be handled. Yet the rooms were not there. What exactly broke d...

Liverpool at a Juncture: Protect the Core or Begin the Rebuild? | Amarjeet Singh @ AJ

Liverpool at a Juncture: Protect the Core or Begin the Rebuild? | Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Opinion • Liverpool • Premier League • Leadership & Identity Liverpool at the Crossroads: Protect the Core or Begin the Rebuild? When a champion stumbles, it’s never just “bad form”. It’s usually identity. It’s usually timing. It’s usually a system that no longer fits the moment. Written in AJ style by Amarjeet Singh @ AJ • coaching4champions.blogspot.com There is something painful about watching a champion stumble. Not because they lose — everyone loses. But because they don’t look like themselves anymore. Liverpool — a team that once imposed fear — now looks like a team trying to remember its own rhythm. Conceding early. Chasing games. Cracking under transitions. And ...

Reality Check: Crisis, Bubbles & Our Earning Mechanics (Hustle With Purpose) — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ

Reality Check: Crisis, Bubbles & Our Earning Mechanics (Hustle With Purpose) — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Reality Check : Crisis, Bubbles & Our Earning Mechanics When the world shakes — we either panic, or we upgrade our mindset and our income model. Essay • AJ Style Topic: Economics • Hustle • Resilience Written by: Amarjeet Singh @ AJ We see the world in crisis. Economics looks unstable. Wars reshape trade routes, fuel prices, and confidence. And somewhere in the background, a bubble feels like it’s quietly waiting to test everyone’s foundation. Not to scare us — but to expose what we really built our lives on. The scary part is not the crisis. The scary part is when we live like the crisis will never touch us — until it does. I’ve seen this pattern across industries and organiz...
