SELF IMPROVEMENT AND MOTIVATION

⚽ WHEN FOOTBALL BECOMES A COURTROOM From FIFA Clearance to CAS Showdown — A Defining Moment for Harimau Malaya By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Kuala Lumpur holds its breath. Not because of a final. Not because of a penalty shootout. Not because of Vietnam. But because of paperwork. Yes — paperwork. In early 2025, seven heritage players were cleared by FIFA to represent Malaysia. Birth certificates were submitted. Eligibility confirmed. Approvals granted. They played. They won. We celebrated. Malaysia 4 – 0 Vietnam. Goals went in. Flags waved. Social media exploded. And then? A complaint. One complaint can change everything. 🧾 THE BEGINNING: WHEN APPROVALS TURN INTO ACCUSATIONS March 2025 — eligibility inquiries submitted. FIFA reviewed. FIFA confirmed. Green light. June 2025 — all seven players featured in the Asian Cup qualifiers. Then on June 11, 2025, FIFA received a formal complaint. Irregularities. Rapid naturalisation. Alleged forged bi...

VALUES, KARMA & DIRTY MONEY — Why Wealth Without Character Never Survives VALUES, KARMA & DIRTY MONEY Why Wealth Without Character Never Survives — a reflection across cultures, generations, and consequences. There is an old saying repeated across cultures: Chinese “富不过三代” (Fù bù guò sān dài) Wealth does not pass three generations. English “Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.” Malay “Harta tidak menjamin maruah.” Wealth does not guarantee honour. Hindi / Hindu philosophy “जैसी करनी वैसी भरनी” (Jaisi karni waisi bharni) As you sow, so shall you reap. Different languages. Same warning. The Universal Pattern of Wealth We love to blame “bad luck” when wealth collapses. But the pattern is ancient and predictable. Chinese “创业难，守业更难。” Starting a business is ...

```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 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 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-...
