Thanks for those "make sense&q...Hi Chess Ninja<br />Thanks for those "make sense" comments. Perhaps I also may have misunderstood and thought that "someone" is accusing me of the illegal things that I did not do. But, with me being in the spotlight for organizing international events one after the other - Malaysia Open, Amateur and now Melaka, of course I feel that it is all being pointed at me - directly or implied! Who else is working with Greg for now? Its me again.... <br /><br />Agreed that these are the "improvements" that we can bring to the table but what irks me is..... like you said, when you say it - you are telling others what to do but when he said it, he knows what is right.<br /><br />Some people are just soooo .... immature and childish!SomeDaysLikeThesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736125268208499341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-56158023596574077252012-02-15T17:54:10.975-08:002012-02-15T17:54:10.975-08:00All this talk about MCF and 'perceived corrupt...All this talk about MCF and 'perceived corruption- be it money, power or position reminds me about we, earthling and UFO...everybody talks about it but then again no concrete evident emerged, a lot of conspiracy theory and some swear have witness the crash and abduction but then again no one has really captured even one alien, dead or alive..<br />But then again maybe UFO and aliens really exist among us...walk like us, talk like us but not really us, with IQ 200 somemore until it is difficult for us,earthling to understand the communication..

I seem to recall that you "plan...@Stonemaster<br /><br />I seem to recall that you "planned" to be FM by 2008. Tahun ini sudah 2012. I am worried that if you target 2015, by 2019, you still won't be MCF president. To be president in MCF by 2015, you should start at least in 2011. 2012 is already too late. Don't listen to Jimmy. <br /><br />@Raymond<br /><br />Jimmy did not say it is for your self interest. He just said you are telling people what should and should not be done (i.e. who should be secretary). When I suggested a method for national team selection, you said that I am telling MCF what to do. The method of selection that I proposed does not benefit me in any way. Hell, I don't even think I will even participate, much less qualify. Jimmy is merely showing you the hypocrisy of your ways. Not pointing out any self-interest notions that you may or may not have. That, we leave for the public to decide. <br /><br />@Najib<br /><br />You and Raymond are just talking past each other. No one is accusing you of any wrongdoing. Everyone who has had any encounter with you knows of your noble goals for chess. But what Raymond is saying is that given a "connection" such as yours, it can be easily abused by someone of lesser resistance to temptation. <br /><br />That is why a proper and transparent system is needed. Not just MCF-designated organizers. Right now, the MCF Secretary is all-powerful. He can decide whether a person is able to organize a tournament or not. Privately organized tournaments should and must be for profit. In economics, normal profits are reward for the accounting costs PLUS the opportunity costs incurred by the person undertaking the "business". <br /><br />So to allow free markets to drive the system, organizers should be allowed to make profits. Otherwise, who is going to undertake any venture? It is a thankless job. Without profits, it will become a thankless, and payless job. <br /><br />So an open tender system allows the organizer who is willing to take the "least profit" to "win" the right to organize an event. <br /><br />Right now, maybe Greg or you are not cheaters. But in the future, maybe our luck is not so good, we get some Dick and Hairy who actually "want" to take a cut for themselves. There really is no monitoring system for this right now. <br /><br />Perhaps you have said your peace in 2003, but this is still a reality. Means no one has done anything about it.The Chess Ninjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07913044279092928324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-17261485061181720342012-02-15T08:58:02.791-08:002012-02-15T08:58:02.791-08:00saya lebih suka bekerjasama dengan najib dari greg...saya lebih suka bekerjasama dengan najib dari greg sebab saya selalu jumpa dengan najib. hehehe but manalah tahu 2015 menjadi kenyataan,sure sm nak rekomen najib jadi secretary mcf yang bergaji tetap sebulan supaya mudahkan beliau jalankan kerja sebagai sec. mcf. heheheSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502878536885965407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-42953686647619422502012-02-15T05:49:12.253-08:002012-02-15T05:49:12.253-08:00boleh tolong letak site meter di blog ini. nak tgk...boleh tolong letak site meter di blog ini. nak tgk berapa ramai org joint dan lawat dan baca artikel2 di sini, tq. heheheSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502878536885965407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-35041555985849480052012-02-15T05:30:04.386-08:002012-02-15T05:30:04.386-08:00dia body saya laa dari sprm, dia minat chess juga,...dia body saya laa dari sprm, dia minat chess juga,sebab tuu sm bawa dia jadi assistant arbitor masa kejohanan catur.kemungkinan akan buat chess tournament di sprm juga. heheheSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502878536885965407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-55872179940053789752012-02-15T05:23:55.893-08:002012-02-15T05:23:55.893-08:00Thanks Fadli .... for taking the comments lightly ...Thanks Fadli .... for taking the comments lightly and for me to laugh.... :)<br /><br />For Raymond....<br />Another good laugh from me... even louder.SomeDaysLikeThesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736125268208499341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-82068348105808140612012-02-15T04:38:34.163-08:002012-02-15T04:38:34.163-08:00Have written a more comprehensive reply on my blog...Have written a more comprehensive reply on my blog Najib.

I think par...Thank you Najib for trying to explain. I think part of the problem is that we have never had a proper system and no one has bothered to think it through. So lets examine the role of the Secretary. Is he supposed to be giving out projects at his whim and fancy? A few people have suggested that the projects be tendered out and I think that should be the proper way. <br /><br />Actually the role of the Secretary is to carry out the policies and guidelines as determined by the full committee of MCF.<br /><br />Now why do you think that has never happened in all the years of MCF's existence? MCF's job is to govern. As I said, they can run a few National tournaments themselves like NAG, National Junior and National Close as those are selection tournaments where players pay for the chance of representing the Country and not for prize money. Then there is the money for MCF to pay their officials.<br /><br />That is the proper way to run an NGO. We need to conform to the law and understand why there are NGO's and there are private organisers. The current structure just shows confusion. And in all probability and private payments to any official constitues bribery.<br /><br />This is not so difficult to understand if you try. <br /><br />On the other hand, some people may resist this change because they want to backdoor entries to projects and backdoor entries to representing the Country. They dont want the stress of actually making a good tender or actually playing good chess. <br /><br />Doesnt that have some bearings to what this whole Country is now upset about? People who join government not to govern but to put their hands into project funds. And their supporters are people who need the handouts. What do you think?<br /><br />Dont you think the way I suggest is transparent and above board? Like when I pushed for selection. Is there a way for me to now put my son in the Malaysian team? But if I was to carry some officials balls, wouldnt I stand a better chance? So why have I chosen this road? Could it be that the other road leads to corruption? And I dont only mean corruption financially. What has all the backdoor entries done to our senior players now that we have selection? Will they be able to stand in the real world of competition?Raymond Siewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07365430395857434429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-49252980542647362792012-02-15T01:21:40.540-08:002012-02-15T01:21:40.540-08:00Isn't he the one we all dubbed "God's...Isn't he the one we all dubbed "God's gift's to Malaysian Chess"?<br /><br />Anyway, practice makes perfect so, by the time we hit 2015, he would have matured and perfected the art.....SomeDaysLikeThesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16736125268208499341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5664536249159695564.post-77997651405699725352012-02-15T00:35:59.690-08:002012-02-15T00:35:59.690-08:00Yes, someone trying to sabotage Melaka event.
