Back to the MCF AGM.

And so we have seen what any new President will have to face. He will need to rely on "technicalists" to advice and you have seen the examples of the arguments they will use. They will bring in parents with vested interest and they will twist and lie and they are unable to accept any reasoning.

They will use the same arguments that ended with Malaysia sending 2 players to the last Olympiad who had not even played a classical Fide tournament in around 10 years but have fat cow ratings.

And they will sabotage as we saw in PICA.

So how did we get to this sorry state? Read this again. Here.

Next time you go to an age group tournament look at the kids. Look at their fire and their passion. That is our raw material. And then see what happens to them over the years. See what happens after years and years of sabotage and undermining; of match fixing and back doors.

See what happens after sending them out to fight year after year unprepared and untrained. Is it possible that they will eventually get as punch drunk and as twisted as Jimmy?

So the new President need to also address the other big issue of the draining of our Association funds. Melaka needs to be investigated. New guidelines to curb the power of the Secretary need to be put in place. And we need clear parameters for the people empowered to negotiate on behalf of MCF.

For without the funds we will not have any training for our national players. And there will be no change.

And without the training and the chance to win in a clean fight, we will keep seeing end products such as Jimmy and his likes. They cannot face reality anymore. They must huddle together with their likes for numbers. For they have lost their confidence.

And then some like Jimmy and his cronies will try to infect the new generation with their failure. They will sabotage, try to ban our strong players and try to create their glass ceiling again.

So we need the new leadership to acknowledge the issues and tell us how they are going to change things. Or we will keep going round and round replacing one dud with another for another 30 years. My proposal in tomorrow's post.

Reminder: Tengku Razaleigh's speech. The opening paragraph will do. Here.
