Scotland Wins WC Opener

I declared on June 05 that in the FIFA World Cup, I am cheering for Scotland.

And yesterday, Scotland had a great start when they battled past Haiti 1-0 and go top of World Cup Group C – ahead of Morocco and Brazil who drew 1-1 earlier in the day – with their first win in the tournament since 1990. 

John McGinn put them into the lead in the 28th minute when his shot took a double deflection to land in the back of the Haiti net. 

Group C's standings after Matchday One:

Malaysia remains in a relatively strong position with sufficient supplies of fuel, food and essential medicines, thanks to early intervention and coordinated crisis management efforts, says Prime Minister’s Economic Adviser Nurhisham Hussein. 

Nurhisham (left), who also heads the Secretariat of the National Economic Action Council (MTEN) Crisis Management Task Force, said the government’s immediate priority since the crisis began has been ensuring uninterrupted supplies of critical goods and services. 

He told Bernama this week after the conflict in West Asia entered its 100th day on June 07.

Scotland at the 2026 World Cup

For the 2026 World Cup, I SUPPORT SCOTLAND!

Scotland are back at the World Cup after a 28-year absence.

And they have been drawn into a tough group with five-time winners Brazil, Morocco and Haiti as the Scots attempt to reach the knockout stages of a World Cup for the first time in their history.

Scotland's 2026 World Cup fixtures are as follows:

GROUP STAGE 

Scotland vs. Haiti on Sunday, June 14 

Scotland's first game is certainly their easiest on paper, against the 83rd-ranked Haiti. The game, which kicks off locally on Saturday night, provides a great chance for a strong start.

Scotland vs. Morocco on Friday, June 19 

Morocco, now eighth in the world, are dark horses for the tournament after reaching the semis four years ago. Even a point from this game would be a bonus for Steve Clarke and Co. 

Scotland vs. Brazil on Wednesday, June 24 

Scotland's next test will be against the iconic Seleção, another side they faced in their last World Cup group stage in 1998. Back then, Brazil won 2-1 to kick off their tournament. 

ROUND OF 32

1st in Group C: Monday, June 29 vs. Group F runners-up 

2nd in Group C: Tuesday, June 30, vs. Group F winners 

3rd in Group C: Depends on third-place seeding

Just over a week until Scotland's World Cup campaign begins, tickets for the opening match are being sold on third-party resale websites. This is a shambolic situation because US travel bans mean that fans traveling from countries such as Haiti won’t be able to attend the World Cup to support their teams. If this is not discrimination, I don't know what is.

The situation highlights a disgraceful disconnect between FIFA’s global inclusive ethos and strict, localized US immigration policies.  

Football aside, Malaysian women's doubles pair Pearly Tan-Thinaah Muralitharan advanced to the Indonesia Open Badminton quarter-finals on Thursday after defeating Taiwan's Hsu Ya Ching-Sung Yu Hsuan. 

The world No. 2 beat the Taiwanese world No. 15 duo 21-18, 21-19 in a close second-round match in Jakarta. This will be their first quarter-final appearance since Pearly returned from a back injury at last week's Singapore Open, where they were eliminated in the second round.

And in squash, Sivasangari Subramaniam's challenge at the British Open ended in the third round on Wednesday. 

The world No. 5 was tipped to overcome England's world No. 8 Georgina Kennedy for a place in the quarter-finals but instead went down 11-9, 11-9, 11-13, 11-5 in 52 minutes. It was the Malaysian's fifth defeat to Kennedy in six meetings. 

She had received a first-round bye and on Monday, she defeated England's world No. 30 Lucy Turmel in the second round, rallying back from a game down to win 10-12, 11-2, 11-8, 11-9.

FIFA Say World Cup Too Big to Derail

The FIFA World Cup has historically been an event that brings together fans from across the world. The United States, Canada and Mexico are the hosts for the 2026 edition.

The tournament will take place from June 11 to July 19. The matches are spread across sixteen cities – eleven in the US, three in Mexico, and two in Canada. And the first to have 48 teams, an enlargement of sixteen teams compared to the previous seven tournaments. 

The total number of games played will expand from 64 to 104, and the number of games played by teams reaching the final four will increase from seven to eight. 

With less than 90 days until kickoff, issues are aplenty.

On January 01, the US expanded its visa-issuance suspensions to nationals from 39 countries, citing national security and public safety concerns and saying the identified countries could not properly vet their citizens. Four of the countries on the banned list – Haiti, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Iran – have qualified for the World Cup.

Many fans rely on tourist visas, and ICE are expected to be responsible for security at the World Cup. And ICE’s director has refused to commit to pausing the agency’s operations during the tournament. Human rights groups have raised concerns over whether World Cup visitors will be detained and handed to ICE if they engage in actions deemed critical of the US government.

And this Truth Social post by Donald Trump on March 12 is disturbing:

Trump later posted another message on his social media platform to emphasise that the event would be safe for players and spectators from around the world. 😆😆😆

Indeed, the World Cup is facing unprecedented uncertainty stemming from geopolitical crises, security concerns, and financial challenges.

That's not all. FIFA have set the highest ticket prices ever for a World Cup, leading to outrage among fans. 

And the use of dynamic pricing saw ticket costs for the final rise to nearly $8,700, potentially pricing out supporters.

Despite these issues, FIFA officials have maintained that the 2026 tournament – set to be the largest ever with 48 teams – is "too big" to derail and is expected to proceed as planned.

Only Sparkling Wine from Champagne is Champagne

France is in the news again! This time around, its border police destroyed nearly 35,000 bottles of a soda drink that called itself a "champagne"!

 

Customs officials in the northern port of Le Havre said the bottles labeled "Couronne Fruit Champagne" which were seized in October 2021, originated from Haiti. 

 

The Champagne industry has determined that the only products that should use the term "champagne" are bottles of sparkling wine that are made using the traditional method in Champagne, France. 

 

The name is designated under France's Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system, which is meant to give them exclusive use of the word in countries that follow EU laws. There are currently more than 121 countries that follow the ruling on the use of the name, according to the Champagne trade association.

 

If you must know, the 27-nation bloc has a system of protected geographical designations created to guarantee the true origin and quality of artisanal food, wine and spirits, and protect them from imitation. FYI, Greek Feta, Italian Parmesan and British Stilton blue cheese are similarly protected by such rules. 

 

French customs said the bottles of the orange drink were intended for sale on the French market. In October 2022, a Parisian court ruled the bottles should be destroyed as they infringed the AOC regulation. 

 

Charles Goemaere, director-general of the Champagne Committee said their destruction enforced the importance of the regulation. 

 

"This kind of use contributes to weakening the reputation of the appellation", he said. "The fight against the abuse of the Champagne name started in 1844 and hasn't stopped since". 

 

Needless to say, this is not the first time beverages have met their fate for using the Champagne name. 

 

On April 17, 2023, a shipment of 2,352 cans of Miller High Life beer were deleted in neighboring Belgium at the request of the French champagne committee on the grounds that the century-old slogan "The Champagne of Beers" used by the American brewery and printed on the cans infringed the protected designation of origin "Champagne".

 

The consignment was intercepted in the Belgian port of Antwerp in early February and was destined for Germany. Molson Coors Beverage Co., which own the Miller High Life brand, do not currently export it to the EU, and Belgian customs declined to say who had ordered the beers.

 

In any case, the guardians of Champagne are not letting anyone take the name of their bubbly beverage in vain!

 

US Provokes China on Taiwan

China has been really patient and unbelievably tolerant with the US even as the latter continues to provoke the former on the matter of Taiwan. 

The US appears to be abandoning its long-held policy known as "strategic ambiguity", where Washington helps prop up the rebel province's defences but does not explicitly promise to come to its assistance. The policy is designed to deter a supposed Chinese invasion and also discourage Taiwan from formally declaring independence, something Beijing regards as a red line. 

And the Joe Biden administration, through both word and deed, persist to demonstrate that Taipei should have no worries about Washington's commitment to the island.

I must say that I am not surprised with Biden’s declarations of commitment to Taiwan. He must show bravado. Likewise, he’ll want to follow the US presidential tradition of immersing himself in foreign military adventures as a way to feed their ravenous military-industrial complex and to deflect from domestic issues plaguing the country. 

In fact, all recent US presidents have either started a new war or been involved in escalating or starting a new military operation on foreign soil. Since 1945, the United States has had an aggressive foreign policy, with its military getting engaged all around the world. 

In case you doubt me, here’s a list of their most prominent military interventions overseas: 

• John F Kennedy’s botched Bay of Pigs invasion on the south coast of Cuba in April 1961. 
• Lyndon Johnson launched a three-year campaign of sustained bombing of targets in North Vietnam and the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Operation Rolling Thunder in March 1965. The same month, US Marines landed on beaches near Da Nang, South Vietnam as the first American combat troops to enter Vietnam. 
• Richard Nixon escalated the war into Laos and Cambodia – and for your info, he stalled the Vietnam peace talks – he had needed the war to continue, since he was running on a platform that opposed(!) the war – before finally settling for a peace agreement in January 1973 that was within grasp back in 1968. 
• Ronald Reagan deployed US Marines to Beirut during the Lebanese civil war, the invasion of Grenada in October 1983 and the bombing of Tripoli in Libya. 
• Under George HW Bush, the US invaded Panama codenamed Operation Just Cause – from mid-December 1989 to late January 1990 – in an attempt to overthrow Manuel Noriega. 
• During Bill Clinton’s presidency, under “Operation Uphold Democracy”, US troops were dispatched to Haiti in September 1994 to unseat a military junta. 
• George W Bush launched Operation Enduring Freedom, an offensive in Afghanistan in October 2001 and he initiated the war on Iraq with the launch of Operation Iraqi Freedom in March 2003. 
• With Barack Obama, the United States and its lackeys conducted months-long air strikes in Libya, Iraq and Syria, besides increasing the deployment of US troops to Afghanistan – although he would ultimately drop the troop level to about 8,400 by the end of his term. 
• Donald Trump may be pre-occupied with his own domestic missteps but he still managed to escalate military ops in Syria and he presided over the killing of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani via a drone strike. 

Joe Biden too wants to be “one of the boys” and I betcha, he’s no different. He’s itching for a war and China is in his sights.

Christopher Columbus and His Legacy of Genocide

The killing of George Floyd has inspired a campaign against memorials of historical figures. 

In the US, statues of Christopher Columbus have become a popular target of protesters – and which, I'm certain, drives you to ask what has an Italian explorer who made four voyages across the Atlantic Ocean in the late 1400s that opened up what European colonizers dubbed “the New World” got to do with BLM?

Popular literature may have romanticized Columbus (left) as the famous adventurer who sailed under the Spanish flag and who discovered America – in truth, he never even set foot in mainland America (the US today)!

Nonetheless, he represents the original white European oppressor, a hated symbol of the colonizing forces that would follow to victimize and brutalize the indigenous and African populations. 

Make no mistake, Columbus was responsible for enslaving and systematically exterminating the native Taino population on Hispaniola (today Haiti and the Dominican Republic).

“Columbus's programs reduced Taino numbers from as many as eight million at the outset of his regime to about three million by 1496. Perhaps 100,000 were left by the time of his departure – but his policies, however, remained, with the outcome that by 1514 the Spanish census of the island showed barely 22,000 Indians remaining alive. In 1542, only two hundred were recorded. Thereafter, they were considered extinct, as were Indians throughout the Caribbean Basin, an aggregate population which totalled more than fifteen million at the point of first contact with the Admiral of the Ocean Sea, as Columbus was known”. [Excerpts from Ward Churchill’s “Indians are Us? Culture and Genocide in Native North America”, Common Courage Press, 1994]. 

And just to give you a glimpse of the inhuman acts perpetrated by the Spanish conquistadors – they included hanging Tainos en masse, roasting them on spits or burning them at the stake (often a dozen or more at a time), hacking their children into pieces to be used as dog feed and so forth, all of it to instil in the natives a "proper attitude of respect" toward their Spanish "superiors". 

That is Columbus' murderous legacy of genocide.

That is why protesters take aim at Columbus statues.

On June 09, 2020, an eight-foot-tall statue of Columbus was vandalized and thrown into a lake in Richmond, Virginia.

The following day, police in Boston, Massachusetts received a report that a marble statue of the fifteenth century colonizer and genocidal maniac on the North End Waterfront had lost its head.

On the same day too, demonstrators spray painted statues of Columbus and Ponce de León, a Spanish conquistador, in Bayfront Park in Miami, Florida.

As reported by KXXV News Channel 25 on Thursday, red paint had been applied onto the hands and face of the 7-foot-tall Columbus statue in Bell Park near the Museum District in Houston, Texas. A piece of cardboard that read, “Rip the head from your oppressor” hung from its neck.

Also, on that day, in St. Paul, Minnesota, demonstrators toppled a ten-foot-tall bronze Columbus statue that stood in front of the State Capitol. 

And NBC Chicago divulged on Saturday that a Columbus statue in the Museum Campus park in Chicago, Illinois was vandalized – the letters "BLM" (Black Lives Matter) and “ACAB” (All Cops Are Bastards) were spray painted onto its base.

Shithole Donald Trump

Donald Trump just loves to mock, taunt and ridicule. 

In a January 11, 2018 meeting with a bipartisan group of senators at the White House – discussing whether they should accept more immigrants from some countries – the US President had referred to Haiti, El Salvador and Africa as "shithole countries". 

The invective was reported by The Washington Post and the world recoiled in consternation and horror at Trump’s reckless and undignified insult. 

The country’s diplomats around the world were summoned for formal reproach and the 55-nation African Union labelled Trump’s vilification as being “clearly racist”. 

But an independent marketing site that promotes tourism in Africa is using the above and turning it into a slick communication campaign. 

A Zambia tourism Facebook page featured an advert which read: “Visit s****hole Zambia. Where the only stars and stripes you’ll have to see are in the sky and on a zebra!” 

“Where beautiful vistas and breathtaking wildlife are our trump card! 

*DISCLAIMER: This post does not represent the opinions of the official Zambia Tourism Agency, but that of an independent marketing site zambiatourism.com”. 

[NOTE: The said post is not claiming to represent the opinions of the official Zambia Tourism Agency. And it has received thousands of likes and shares]. 

The Gondwana Collection, a private tourism operator in Namibia, too, got into the act and released a video on Facebook lampooning the alleged Trump derogation.

Their managing director, Gys Joubert, told the Associated Press: “You can fight the negative with the negative, or you can give some pushback with the tongue-in-cheek approach”.

But the biggest shithole is really Donald Trump!

On Thursday afternoon, I attended a Service Source Toastmasters meeting. I was there as the General Evaluator.

This was my maiden visit to this club and I am glad I went.

'Twas a really good meeting. Thank you, Charan Sidhu for the invite!

Haiti is Not in Good Shape

Nearly seven years ago, Port-au-Prince in Haiti crumbled.

Kindly check out my post at this March 10, 2010 link https://helpvictor.blogspot.my/2010/03/when-does-suffering-end.html?m=0

Authorities had estimated that 1.5 million people were living in over 1,500 camps in July 2010 – six months after the earthquake devastated the Haitian capital.

 

At least 50,000 people are still encamped in these makeshift settlements today.

 

The rest had raised enough money to rebuild homes, received rental subsidies from the government and aid groups that got them back on their feet, or had been evicted by private property owners.

 

The International Organization for Migration which is working with a final $7 million (RM31 million) to resettle displaced Haitians will soon be out of money for the effort.

 

And even if the agency had more cash, it would still be challenging to find housing for people in a country where more than half the population survives on less than $2 (RM8.85) a day and adequate housing is increasingly expensive.

 

I also read that there are those who don’t want to leave the camps – and in many cases, these camps morphed into shantytowns.

 

Haiti is not in good shape and it will remain in this state for a very long, long time.

 

On Monday, I was at the KL Advanced Toastmasters meeting in Bangsar, KL. And I delivered my CC speech #3 Get to the Point titled “Building Castles in the Air”. 

 

I was elated because I was voted Best Speaker.

 

 

Christmas Misery

Nearly three years after the earthquake, which killed more than 200,000 people and left more than 1 million homeless in Haiti in January 2010, and despite billions of dollars spent – and billions more allocated but unspent – post-earthquake reconstruction has barely begun and more than 350,000 Haitians continue to languish in nearly 500 tent camps.

Residents in these refugee camps say hunger and want wil mark the holiday, like every other day of the year. The poverty is no greater at Christmas time, but the pain and humiliation of doing without comes into sharp contrast during a season dedicated to gift-giving and merriment in this predominantly Catholic country. As one resident, Fritzner Dossous – who also helped organize security for his camp, which from time to time, has been attacked by unknown assailants – said, “Nobody works here. There is abject poverty. People have been brought down to the lowest place in their lives.”

UNICEF has failed miserably because the Haitians still suffer. And whilst the rest of the world celebrates Christmas, Haitians can only pray. Even so, will their prayers be answered? Does anybody care?

The Star (December 25, 2012, p 20) reported that yesterday, Justice Amelia Tee Hong Geok Abdullah granted a stay of execution on a student activist’s jail sentence pending an appeal and was released on bail which was set at RM5,000 and with the additional condition that the student, Umar Mohamad Azmi attend subsequent court appeal proceedings.

Two Years Later

I attended the MIHRM Toastmasters meeting last evening where I took up the role of General Evaluator. It was a small group (just the ten of us!) who graced this meeting but nonetheless, it was still a quality meeting – for the simple reason that there were good speeches and evaluations.

Like many Toastmasters meetings, it didn’t start on time and this is something that puzzles me always. It is already inexcusable if student clubs drag their feet insofar as timeliness is concerned, but for community clubs which are led by professionals and other working adults, this is a crime that calls for capital punishment! I would even suggest that clubs that do not begin their meetings on time should do away with the Timekeeper because if that role is permitted, it mocks this whole idea of time management! Starting late or not keeping to the time schedule means that the concerned club has scant respect for those members and guests who faithfully keep to time. If we cannot even get this right – it does not bode well for Toastmasters clubs in Malaysia. Rubber time must be banished once and for all!

Yee Sang made an early appearance at this MIHRM meeting. I am not sure if I have ever talked about this dish called yee sang but it is a tradition to have it during the Lunar New Year. It is literally translated as raw fish. Anyway, it is actually a Chinese-style raw fish salad with salmon as the main ingredient and mingled together with assorted shredded vegetables, pomelo, jellyfish and crackers and topped with sauce and spices. And Loh Sang is the act of tossing this salad. Chopsticks in hand, diners gather around the table to toss the salad as high as possible. It symbolizes the gathering of prosperity and when we toss, we offer auspicious wishes (e.g. good health, abundant wealth) to everyone.

HELP for Haiti was a fund-raising project initated by my HICT students when the earthquake devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010.

Last year – in my blog posting dated January 12, 2011 and very appropriately titled “One Year On” – I reported on the slow progress made to help the victims. You may wonder what is the progress now that two years have come to pass? Well, it seems that work to recover still continues although things are a little better!

Image credit: http://blogs.independent.co.uk/2012/01/11/haiti-2012-why-are-half-a-million-people-still-in-camps/

About a million people have now left the camps which sprang up after the disaster, a new Haitian Government has been sworn into power, and nearly half of the 10 million cubic meters of debris has been cleared – the equivalent of 200 Olympic-sized swimming pools so far.

There are still close to half a million vulnerable people living under canvas, plagued by violence, rain, floods and the threat of eviction. Of those not living in camps, many still shelter in houses in need of repair or outright demolition. So there is a lot more to do.

One Year On

Twelve months after an earthquake wrecked 350,000 homes and left at least 1.5 million people homeless in Haiti, 87 per cent of the survivors are still living in squalid, dangerous tented camps. Dozens of rapes are committed every day, and so much rubble is uncleared that what remains on the ground, clogging any serious reconstruction, would fill trucks which would stretch halfway round the world. All this in a country that staggeringly, hosts tourists from cruise ships. It can supply piña coladas, but not hope to its own people.

.

Rebuilding efforts are still evident in Haiti as these photos testify:

.

Today, despite pledges of billions and the presence of thousands of aid groups and missions, the Haitians' plight is a festering global scandal.

Cuban Heroes

UK’s The Independent featured a Nina Lakhani story on December 26, 2010 about the real heroes of the Haitian earthquake disaster, the human catastrophe on America's doorstep which Barack Obama pledged a monumental US humanitarian mission to alleviate. Except these heroes are from America's neighbor Cuba, whose doctors and nurses have put US efforts to shame.

A medical brigade of 1,200 Cubans is operating all over earthquake-torn and cholera-infected Haiti, as part of Fidel Castro's international medical mission which has won the socialist state many friends, but little international recognition.

Observers of the Haiti earthquake could be forgiven for thinking international aid agencies were alone in tackling the devastation that killed 250,000 people and left nearly 1.5 million homeless. In fact, Cuban healthcare workers have been in Haiti since 1998, so when the earthquake struck the 350-strong team jumped into action. And amid the fanfare and publicity surrounding the arrival of help from the US and the UK, hundreds more Cuban doctors, nurses and therapists arrived with barely a mention. Most countries were gone within two months, again leaving the Cubans and Médecins Sans Frontières as the principal healthcare providers for the impoverished Caribbean island.

.

John Kirk, a professor of Latin American studies at Dalhousie University, Canada who researches Cuba's international medical teams said: "Cuba's contribution in Haiti is like the world's greatest secret. They are barely mentioned, even though they are doing much of the heavy lifting."

.

Wherever they are invited, Cubans implement their prevention-focused holistic model, visiting families at home, proactively monitoring maternal and child health. This has produced "stunning results" in parts of El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, lowering infant and maternal mortality rates, reducing infectious diseases and leaving behind better trained local health workers, according to Professor Kirk's research.

.

Medical training in Cuba lasts six years – a year longer than in the UK – after which every graduate works as a family doctor for three years minimum. Working alongside a nurse, the family doctor looks after 150 to 200 families in the community in which they live.

This model has helped Cuba to achieve some of the world's most enviable health improvements, despite spending only $400 (£260) per person last year compared with $3,000 (£1,950) in the UK and $7,500 (£4,900) in the US, according to Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development figures.

I am not just wanting to salute this monumental contribution of the Cubans but rather to also suggest that Malaysia could send students to Cuba for medical training. Obviously Cuban doctors and healthcare workers are really special – not only have they demonstrated their medical prowess but also that they are imbued with a strong sense of social responsibility. We can certainly learn from Cuba.

Clowns in Haiti

On Tuesday (July 06), some of my SNHU students in the MKT222 class showed their video clips of their coursework – and one group actually took “Behind-the-scenes” photos and I am posting them here as a teaser. For sure, I will upload these clips soon, so be patient! I had thought that the said video clip was shot in an orchard – but after I saw these photos, I only found out that it was taken at Bandar Botanic in Klang! Lovely!

As Haiti tries to rebuild after January’s earthquake, charity Plan International has teamed up with Clowns Without Borders (founded in Spain in 1993) to bring some fun and cheer to the lives of Haitian children. The clowns formed part of attempts to provide psychological and social support to deal with emotional trauma and to try to help children regain a sense of normality.

When Does the Suffering End?

Remember the song that I mentioned that we recorded on March 01?

Well, we have produced a video clip of this for the HELP for Haiti cause that we are promoting – thanks to Martin Sarfaraz.

By the way, the song “When Does the Suffering End?” was performed by Mathew Varughese and Victor Reddy (on guitar), music by the same Victor Reddy, lyrics by Victor Ong and poem composed and narrated by Kim Lee.

Give this a listen and I have no doubt you will be moved!

More Photos of Haiti

.

I located more photos of the Haitian tragedy – and so I am still putting them together, in order that all may view them and remember the pain and suffering endured by Haiti’s population. Today’s cash collection for the HICT for Haiti Fund totaled RM18. And the total amount collected todate is RM332.

I read that Liverpool had a disappointing game against the Romanian side, Unirea Urziceni in the Europa League competition – even though they managed to scrape through with a slender 1-0 win. Liverpool may have dominated possession but Urziceni played a very tight defensive game – and it looked like a draw until Daniel Pacheco knocked down Ryan Babel’s cross and David Ngog headed in from close range (81).
