The Lions’ Legacy: Nepotism, Excuses, and a Roar That’s More of a Whimper

 



Oh, brace yourselves, folks—the 63rd MD308 Lions Convention is descending upon Melaka, Malaysia, from April 24 to 27, 2025, with all the pomp and circumstance of a high school reunion desperate to prove it’s still relevant. Hosted at the swanky Hatten Hotel and Holiday Inn, the Lions Clubs International (LCI) faithful will gather to pat each other on the back, swap stories of their saintly community service, and, naturally, pretend everything’s just peachy in Lion-land. This year’s theme? “Leave Your Legacy.” Oh, the irony. Because if the current drama is any indication, the legacy they’re leaving smells more like favoritism and flimsy excuses than the noble roar they’re so fond of trumpeting.

Death of human empathy


 

This morning, I came across a post on LinkedIn by Martin Dearlove discussing the decline of human empathy, which inspired me to write this reflection. This is my own perspective.

 

Recently, my friend Adam Chin Chee Thau received a letter notifying him to either voluntarily leave his club or face expulsion within seven days. I can relate to his situation, as I experienced something similar in 2017 when I reached out to various Lion members, including Past District Governors, who refused to engage due to a misguided autonomy rule imposed by Lions Club International.
