Liverpool 2025–26: Don’t Write Us Off Yet FAN MODE: ON ANALYST MODE: ON EX-REFEREE LENS: ON Liverpool 2025–26 : Don’t Write Us Off Yet One minute you’re champions. Next minute you’re being labelled “crisis”. That’s football. That’s Liverpool. And that’s why we never stop believing. By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ “I was only in the game for the love of football — and I wanted to bring back happiness to the people of Liverpool.” — Bill Shankly (and yes… that “happiness” line hits different when the table hurts) Scene 1: The League Has Turned Into a Street Fight Let me say it the way a referee would: this season has been a match where the rhythm keeps breaking. Soft fouls. Broken momentum. Nerves. Injuries. And every opponent suddenly thinks: “They’re not invincible… so we can have a go.” That’s how “a dip” becomes ...

From Vanity to Value — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ

From Vanity to Value — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ From Vanity to Value: Why Most Organisations Don’t Have a Marketing Problem — They Have a Leadership Design Problem Written by Amarjeet Singh @ AJ — Lived experience across Automotive (2W & 4W), Service Industries, Theme Parks & Township Design/Management (Malaysia & ASEAN) Everyone talks about marketing — clicks, impressions, engagement. Yet CEOs and CFOs still ask the only question that matters: “Where is the pipeline? Where is the revenue?” Everyone celebrates new vehicle sales. Launches. Booking numbers. Campaign buzz. But the truth I learned the hard way — on the ground — is this: new sales excite the ego; systems sustain the business. Let me ask a blunt leadership question: If your dashboards look good, why does the business still feel fragile? ...

Aftersales: What the Workshop Taught Me That Boardrooms Never Did — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ

Aftersales: What the Workshop Taught Me That Boardrooms Never Did — Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Aftersales: What the Workshop Taught Me That Boardrooms Never Did An essay by Amarjeet Singh @ AJ — Cars • Motorcycles • Malaysia & ASEAN Exposure Everyone celebrates new vehicle sales — launches, booking numbers, influencers, roadshows. But the truth I learned the hard way is this: new sales excite the ego; aftersales sustains the business. Everyone talks about sales. Units sold. Market share. Monthly targets. PowerPoint slides that look good, sound confident, and disappear after the meeting ends. Let me ask a simple question — one I learned to ask only after years in the industry: If sales are doing so well, why does the business still feel fragile? That question followed me across cars, motorcycles, brands...
From Building Assets to Building Performance | Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Malaysia • Property • Hotels • Malls • Offices • ESG • Performance From Building Assets to Building Performance A consulting paper on why modern property success requires licensed expertise , ESG discipline , space optimisation , footfall strategy and data-driven management . Written by Amarjeet Singh @ AJ — Business Consultant For Owners • Developers • REITs • Asset Managers • Investors Executive Reflection Malaysia is building fast — hotels, shopping malls, office towers, mixed developments.

But because management thinking stopped at construction . “Anyone can build a bui...

The Hidden Cost of “Fast Money” | Why Malaysians Must Engage Licensed REA & Proper REN

The Hidden Cost of “Fast Money” | Malaysia Property Reality Malaysia Property • Buyers • Sellers • Investors The Hidden Cost of “Fast Money” Why Malaysians Must Engage Licensed Real Estate Agents (REA) & Properly Registered RENs — Before Greed Turns Into Regret Written by Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Malaysia is a booming property market . From first-time homebuyers looking for security, to families upgrading their lifestyle, to investors hunting for yield and appreciation — property has become one of the most talked-about wealth tools in this country. And that is precisely why property becomes dangerous. Because when opportunity looks easy, discipline disappears. When money looks fast, caution is treated as weakness. And when greed enters the room, the essentials are the first to be sacrificed. “Property isn’t expensive only when you buy it. It becomes expensive when you buy it the wrong way.” The Malaysian Truth: Property Is Not a Casual Transaction...
