Written by: Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Category: Strategy & Leadership Reading time: 8–10 minutes 1) Why Porsche Matters: A Brand Can Still Break Porsche’s name carries heritage, racing DNA, and iconic products — yet the management lesson is brutal: heritage is not the same as resilience . A company can be admired and s...

From a Small Corner of Selangor to the Heart of a Nation — Datuk Santokh Singh Malaysian Football • Tribute & Reflection From a Small Corner of Selangor to the Heart of a Nation Datuk Santokh Singh — discipline, determination, and the multicultural spirit that once made Malaysia stand tall in the 1970s–1980s golden era. Born: 22 June 1952 Role: Defender Era: 1970s–1980s Selangor FA: 1972–1985 International A Caps: 119 (RSSSF) A Legend Forged by Loyalty, Not Hype In the annals of Malaysian football, few names carry the same quiet authority as Datuk Santokh Singh . His story is bigger than trophies. It is a blueprint of how a kid from a modest part of Selangor rose—through grit, discipline, and belief—into the heart of a nation during Malaysia’s golden era. Back then, facilities were...

PPP and the Long Road of Nation Building: Beyond Elections, Toward Legacy Beyond Rising Again: The Long Road of Nation Building By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ Many political parties ask one question repeatedly: “How do we win the next election?” But perhaps the more important — and harder — question is this: “How do we remain relevant long after the next election is forgotten?” This is where :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} (PPP) stands today — not at the finish line, but at a crossroads. This Is Not About Today. Or Tomorrow. PPP has something rare in Malaysian politics today: a clean slate . Fresh faces. New energy. No baggage of “my camp”, “your man”, “his people”. For the first time in a long while, the question is not about personalities — it is about purpose . And purpose demands patience. If the aim is only to win seats, then shortcuts will always tempt us. But if the aim is to rebuild trust, re-earn relevance, and...

From This Side of the River | Amarjeet Singh @ AJ From This Side of the River Quality, Education, Values, Attitude — and the Courage to Cross Together We have read the management books. We have attended leadership talks and corporate trainings. We quote theories fluently in meetings and classrooms. Yet on the ground: work is half done, standards are diluted, attitude is declining, employers are frustrated, graduates are unprepared, and youths feel lost. So we must ask a harder question: Is the problem really a lack of knowledge — or a lack of alignment between education, industry, values, and responsibility? The Illusion We All Bought Into Management theories promised structure. Education promised readiness. Perks promised motivation. Somewhere along the way, we replaced: Discipline with comfort Growth with convenience Resp...

RM150, Responsibility, and the Question We’re Afraid to Ask RM150, Responsibility, and the Question We’re Afraid to Ask A reflection on priorities, youth responsibility, and the culture we are quietly normalising. RM150 per child. Not a fortune. Not a solution to poverty. Just a small hand extended—meant for schoolbooks, uniforms, shoes, and tools for learning. A simple gesture. A simple intention. So why does such a small amount raise such big questions? I’ve spoken directly to teachers—men and women on the front lines of education. Not hearsay. Not social media noise. Real conversations. And what they shared was sobering: The money meant for children often didn’t reach the children. It went into groceries—for the household Into fast food—KFC, dining out Into short holidays—especially for families with many children Let me be clear: some families truly struggle. Som...

PPP: A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes — A Party Malaysia May Look Upon Again PPP: A Phoenix Rising from the Ashes — A Party Malaysia May Look Upon Again By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ There was a time when the People’s Progressive Party (PPP) seemed to have faded from Malaysia’s political scene — bruised by turmoil, weakened by internal storms, and written off by many as a chapter already closed. But history teaches us something powerful: not everything that falls is finished. Some things are simply being refined by fire. Not everything that falls is finished. Some things are merely being refined by fire. Today, PPP stands again — quietly, yet firmly — like a phoenix rising from the ashes . Not with noise. Not with arrogance. But with renewed intent, humility, and purpose. A Party Rebuilding, Not Rewriting Its Soul PPP is not trying to re...

Protect the Woman Who Holds Your Vision | A Family Day Dedication Protect the Woman Who Holds Your Vision A Family Day Dedication — to women, wives, and mothers who carry the unseen weight of life. Power isn’t always loud. Sometimes, power is a woman who keeps going when life gives her every reason to stop. The Treasure Many Don’t See Some men are blind to the greatest treasure God places before them. They chase noise, approval, and illusion—forgetting that real strength often stands quietly beside them: praying when no one sees, sacrificing without announcement, believing when belief costs her something. A woman who stands with you is not common. She is not weak. She is not replaceable. She is rare. She sees the vision God planted in you even when you can’t see it yourself. A Mother’s Silent War Before any man stands tall, a woman carried him. My mother was once fi...

```html Is Akmal Stepping Aside — or Stepping Up? What His Words Really Signal About UMNO’s Future Is Akmal Stepping Aside — or Stepping Up? What His Words Really Signal About UMNO’s Future By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ  |  Published: 7 January 2026  |  Coaching4Champions When a politician says, “perhaps it is time for me to step aside” , seasoned observers know one thing: this is rarely about stepping away — it is about forcing others to step forward. The recent remarks attributed to UMNO Youth chief Dr Mohamad Akmal Saleh have triggered a familiar chorus of reactions: Is he quitting? Is he sulking? Is he plotting something bigger? Is UMNO about to split again? But politics is never about words alone. It is about timing , audience , pressure , and positioning . And this “step aside” line, when read carefully, fee...

If Reform Is So Easy, Why Didn’t Anyone Do It Earlier? By Amarjeet Singh @ AJ If governing Malaysia were easy, it would have been fixed long ago. If solving the cost of living were simply a matter of slogans, fuel prices would have stayed low forever. If fighting corruption only required speeches, institutions would not have weakened. If empowering Sabah and Sarawak were straightforward, the Malaysia Agreement 1963 would not still be debated six decades later. So here is the uncomfortable question we rarely ask ourselves: Do we actually want reform — or do we only want relief without responsibility? The Illusion of Instant Solutions Many Malaysians are impatient. Some are angry. Others are tired. That is understandable. But impatience often hides a deeper contradiction: we demand long-term change while rejecting the short-term pain that real reform requires. So let us ask honestly: Do we want blanket subsidies that leak billions — or targeted aid that ...
