I always use Singapore as a metaphor for Shiok. Think about the history of Singapore and you will see the relationship between the way Shiok and Singapore is formed. There are something common when Singapore gained independence. There are a lot of hatred and disparity. Shiok is also made up of 'immigrants' from many clubs. As the club is fighting for survival during the initial satge, there is a need to rule it with an iron fist. Of course, when there are changes, something will emerge and others will vanish.
When the club expands, the newer members need to know the history of the club. Taking an example of introducing National Education in our curriculum, there is a need to have some form of patriotism in the country. This is very similar to the patriotism to the club and understanding how the club has progress throughout the years. The hardship, loss and wins are important milestones. As a club, we should look ahead and stop thinking about the past. There are wins and losses. We should use these opportunities as learning experiences and move on to greater heights.
It is my challange to all members of Shiok to know the club's short history. Everyone should appreciate the process that have brought us here today. The next leadership pipeline should know the history and bring the club to another level. We CANNOT self-destruct, believe that we are comfortable now and stay stagnant. If we have this mindset, it is time that we review the objectives of the club.
