Conflict is the beginning of consciousness.

The heading describes the situation MHF is at the moment. For last Saturday, MHF lost one of its most creative officials, V. Rajamanickan, the KLHA Secretary who quit as the Secretary of the MHF Competitions Committee.

It is learnt that Rajamanickam did not attend the Competitions Committee meeting held on that day and chaired by Dato Rahim, the MHF Vice President. Rahim read out the resignation letter and amongst its contents where charges of the Terms of Reference of the Competition Committee being compromised by some quarters in the MHF set up. Is this the begining of the wall crumbling for there have been many incidents of incompetence on the part of MHF of late.

“History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.”
