Should this case be investigated?

Ref: Here.

I have been reading with interest at the baying for the blood of Zaki Yeop of Insofar. This is what I think. Zaki has come clean and promised to redress the issue. Isn't that more commendable and what we should encourage? So just give him a fixed timeframe to make good his word.

But nothing has been said about what I think is a far more serious offence since I first reported it. If you look at the link above, you will find that the general public is involved. This brings all of chess into disrepute. And there has been no public admission or a promise to redress the issue.

So how do we decide which case to pursue? If it's my friend I say nothing?

But please note that I do not advocate criminal proceedings if that is avoidable. Why? Because we have had no proper guidelines for years. Maybe right from inception. So we need a set of those guidelines quickly. And that is the job of MCF.

Let me give another example of how confused things are in Malaysian chess now. Right after Peter tried to ban a National player without grounds, he was rewarded for his good works by giving him the national rapid and blitz. Now we all know Peter; he is not very smart and he has zero emotional control or intelligence. So it got to his head and he immediately tried to set national policies since he thought he was now in the good books of MCF after his one good deed for them. And the events got taken from him. What can I say?

So you see, our mind sport has been taken over by people who are no mental giants. So we need to slowly teach them the basics again, a little like kindergarden. Give them a warning when they cross the line. Don't reward them. The whole of Malaysia is looking at what is right and wrong now. Learn from that. Actually Malaysian chess has been lost in lalaland for a long long time now. We are even much further behind than the average man on the street as I think the comments on the facebook link above will show. Much better arguments than what we see on our chess blogs right?

So don't keep telling people that chess makes you smart unless you can show it by example. It is very embarrasing.

  1. 1 lagi kes yang saya akan bawa ketengah ialah kenapa duit national rating mesti dimasukkan kedalam akaun peribadi iaitu lim tze pin. adalah salah kerana masuk akaun peribadi. national rating adalah dibawah mcf dan sepatutnya duit national rating mesti dibank in ke dalam akaun mcf dan bukan akaun peribadi lim tze pin. ini adalah salah.saya akan hantar surat kepada mcf supaya perbetulkan pengurusannya. sama juga dgn kalau nak anjur kejohanan catur, penganjur mesti bagi akaun syarikat kalau peserta nak bank in duit yuran dan bukan masuk akaun peribadi. ini juga adalah salah.

  2. NASIHAT KEPADA PIHAK PENGANJUR CATUR -
    Sudah banyak kali firestonemaster remind dan nasihatkan kepada Tuan Haji Ibrahim Abu Bakar iaitu Penasihat Persekutuan Catur Malaysia/Malaysian Chess Federation (MCF) dan beberapa AJK MCF supaya perbetulkan pengurusan catur dalaman MCF lebih2 lagi dari segi penggunaan akaun peribadi sendiri dalam borang kejohanan catur. Sungguh MEMALUKAN dan SEDIH sedih tak terhingga kerana banyak tohmahan dan anggapan negatif terhadap pengaliran masuk duit ke dalam akaun peribadi dan bukan akaun syarikat atau akaun persatuan. Banyak kali juga firestonemaster terima aduan sampai tak larat nak nasihatkan pihak-pihak yang gunakan akaun peribadi untuk kemasukan duit yuran atau penajaan. TOLONG JANGAN MALUKAN MARUAH SUKAN CATUR dengan pengurusan yang tidak profesional.
    Se
    kali lagi, firestonemaster ingin beri teguran dan nasihat kepada MCF dan mana-mana penganjur catur lain, sila gunakan akaun syarikat atau akaun persatuan untuk
    kemasukan duit yuran atau duit penajaan. Kalau tidak ada akaun tersebut, tulis pada borang kejohanan itu, yuran boleh dibayar terus semasa hari kejohanan. Diharap semua penganjur ambil serious tentang perkara ini dan kalau boleh cuba kita sama-sama perbetulkan pengurusan pengendalian aktiviti catur kalau berminat nak jadi seorang pengiat catur. Kalau tidak berminat dan buat cara ALA KADAR sahaja, sila undur diri dan beri tanggungjawab kepada yang serious nak majukan catur TO THE NEXT LEVEL.
    Kepada pihak penganjur catur yang sudah ada akaun syarikat/persatuan untuk kemasukan duit yuran dan penajaan, firestonemaster ingin ucapkan syabas dan tahniah kerana MELAKSANAKAN ASAS PENGURUSAN PENGENDALIAN KEJOHANAN YANG BETUL dan kepada yang berminat nak jadi penganjur, sila betulkan perkara2 asas seperti ada akaun syarikat atau persatuan. Tolong perbetulkan sebelum masuk tahun 2013.
    Yang benar,
    FIRESTONEMASTER
