Anwar's new Plan

Dato seri Anwar Ibrahim has been nominated to be the candidate for Kajang state seat. Lee Chin Cheh the predeccessor has resigned from the post without stating any reason.

But it's already speculated that Anwar would be the next Menteri Besar for Selangor and the only way is to be a win a state seat. There's a group whom would like to bring down current Menteri Besar, Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim and the expected name to replace him was Azmin Ali.

Source said that Khalid agreed to step down so long Azmin doesn't take over the post of MB. Thus, Anwar decided to come in himself. Initially, he said, he wont be the MB but now he has declared that he would succeed Tan Sri Khalid Ibrahim as MB.

It's also said that by becoming MB of Selangor, it's a strategy for Anwar to capture Putrajaya in next election or who knows, it could be this term too.

For me, I like him as a leader and also, he is a Prime Minister Material. I'm not sure why is he going for MB when he can still control the opposition as the head. Anyway, he is definete to win the seat. It's the matter, what's the majority he is going to achieve.

Loss of a freind, buddy, comrade,

There's a saying, if someone moves on, it means god loves that person more than anyone. It was really shock to hear an angel by name of Naeelah Bushrah released her last breath on 23 January at age of 40.

The 1st time I met her was during Malaysia Airlines Officers Installation on August 2009. Therafter, we meet often during Toastmasters conventions and division events. As she took up the exco role in 2009, I advised her, not to stop and move up the ladder in the club adn she made it by becoming the President in year 2010/2011. She even wanted to move up as Area Governor, but then had task to focus on career and family, thus she postponed that aim.

Theafter, we became thick freinds and exchange ideas on Toastmasters club management and also in career. There was a time when I was really down due to my challenges in my work and family, it was at 10.30pm, she still called me and encouraged me, and told me the bright side is just not too far.

I felt touched by her caringness. Now, when I have achieved in Toastmasters and wants to share with her, she is no longer around.

She is someone whom always be in my heart as a good freind.

May her soul rest in peace

Thaipusam 2014

I have been going to Penang for Thaipusam constantly since 2008 (except for 2009 because of my marriage). Though it will be tiring for the 4-5 days of celebration, nevertheless, the excitement, joy and happiness is never dried and always fulfilling.

The main purpose is to get HIS blessings, apart from that, it will be a time to reunite our freindship and to meet people from India, Singapore, Penang, Kulim, Ipoh etc and from all sorts of background and age.

Right from coconut party, ice cream party, vegetarian nasi lemak, vegetarian burger, unlimited coffee and tea, our laughter will be the one which will never rest.

It happens only once in a year and leaves a lasting memories for the entire year.

Revington finally says Good Bye

Finally Paul Revington has tendered his resignation for 2nd time and it's his final decision. The reason for his resignation is Stress related illness.

It looks like it's a silly reason for a international coach to say it, as he has coached Ireland and South Africa previously.

Nevertheless, what I suspect is the management i.e MHC could have just instructed him to coach the team, rather than choosing the right players. In addition, he didn't had rights to choose his own assistants and had to listen to MHC too, where he had additional assistants such as Dharmaraj, and Gobinathan.

In addition, Dharmaraj was also interested to replace and takeover senior team and looks like there could be some hiccups happened in the committee.

Although, Malaysia made it to World cup after long absence, furthermore with mathematical chance. Nevertheless, Paul has revive to his level best the team especially, when they qualified for finals of Azlan Shah cup last year.

Arul Selvaraj has been given the honor to coach the youth team for 2016 world youth cup.

End of the day, it's the management mentality which needs to be changed, if you need to see the development.
