The passing of a big name

Tan Sri Syed Kechik Syed Mohamad who passed away Friday, was a big name in the 70s. I remember Syed Kechik Film production producing several box-office hits such as Mekanik, which featured Mokhtar Dahari in a cameo role and Sumber Ilhamku. He was also a one-time president of the Malaysian Cycling Federation (MCF) until it was de-registered, paving the way for a new body to be established and headed by Tan Sri Elyas Omar. A feud was about to begin...Syed Kechik's son-in-law is Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary. Maybe the cycling fraternity can do with some help from Syed Mokhtar.

Eh.. apalah punya mamat ni, tiba-tiba tanya pasal kok chi... but kok chi for yr information, have the guts to tell ministers or vvip, white is white and black is black.

see how he dare to go against azalina.

itulah secretary OCM yang kita mau, bukan takat pandai bodek aje... dengar kata ada pihak sekarang nak kempen letak sorang wanita lawan kok chi... tapi tegas dan berani macam kok chi takpe tapi jika untuk jadi pak turut, lupakan sahaja. Opps lupalak, budaya macam ni kan dah jadi pilihan untuk selamat....

PRINSIPNYA hanya satu - tidak suka mencabar.

Jika dicabar, pemimpin ini lebih suka mengalah. Namun, isti- lah mengalah dalam dirinya bukanlah bermakna dia takut kepada mana-mana cabaran.

Malahan, dia terus tenang berdepan segala isu mahupun masalah, seiring dengan pengalaman luasnya sebagai Setiausaha Agung Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) sejak 1992.

Itulah wajah peribadi Datuk Sieh Kok Chi, seorang pemimpin sukan, bekas jurutera Jabatan Pengairan dan Saliran (JPS) dan bekas bintang polo air negara.
