MH370 MAS plane remains 'missing', SAR continues throughout the night

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) said in a statement that flight MH370 had disappeared at 02:40 local time on Saturday (18:40 GMT on Friday) after leaving Kuala Lumpur.
 
Acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein, had some 10 hours after the incident, said there was no sign of wreckage, as reported here.

A total of 239 passengers were on board the plane which was headed to Beijing.

Experts remained "surprised" over missing plane as Boeing 777 dubbed 'safest plane ever', as reported here.

The plane was bought in 2002 and had one safety incident in the past.

While officials (as of 11.02pm) still claim they have yet to obtain any confirmation of the plane's location, family members of the passengers were told to prepare and bring their passports to the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

Among speculations:
1) Plane hijacked by terrorists
2) Plane exploded in the air
3) Loss of control
4) Landed safely in Xian or Nanning, China
5) Plane crashed at 5.20am and that TUDM have been asked to be on standby in Kota Baru to get air clearance to enter Vietnam air space.

Hishammuddin calls for calm, urged public and media not to heed such speculations. However, MAS is not ruling out anything at this point in time.

Vietnam, the Philippines, Singapore and even US join search and rescue operations near the Gulf of Thailand, some 250km south of Vietnam.

Despite waiting for more than 15 hours, family members remain clueless over situation as MAS staff continued to provide support. Some of them left the holding area in KLIA frustrated. A more tensed situation was seen in Beijing.

Reports later said a 12-mile oil slick was seen at waters closer to Vietnam.

Malaysian authorities claim they were not informed of Vietnam Navy having spotted plane or any oil-slick. Search and rescue operations to continue throughout the night.

Many are reminded of 1977 nightmare after MAS Boeing 737 crashed at Tanjung Kupang in Johor after the plane was hijacked. All 100 passengers and crew members were killed.

HD says: Prayers for the passengers and the crew.

Banned KL player drags FAM to court

Former Kuala Lumpur player Hafizi Roslee who was banned for life by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) due to his alleged involvement in match-fixing and bribery, has filed a suit against
the national body.   

Hafizi, 29, who filed the suit on Feb 26 through Khairuddin, Ngiam & Tan at the High Court Registrar here, named FAM and the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) as the first and second defendants, respectively.
   
His lawyer Kevin De Rozario said the court had set March 17 for case management in the presence of Judicial Commissioner Rosilah Yop.
   
In his writ of summon, Hafizi urged the court to nullify FAM's decision to ban him for life from football activities.
   
Hafizi alleged that the FAM's action was unconstitutional and done without arbitrary which was a breach of the rules of natural justice and public policy since the FAM had heard his case on Dec 20, last year without his presence.
   
On Dec 20, the FAM Disciplinary Committee banned Hafizi and four other players - Fadhullah Yunsifar, Phoo Kai Lun, Khairul Anuar Shafie and Jeremy Danker - for life and imposed a fine of RM20,000, for their alleged involvement in match-fixing and bribery.
   
Apart from the players, former Kuala Lumpur coach Stanislav Lieskovsky from Slovakia, assistant manager Rosli Omar and Saari Jani, an official with the team, were also found guilty for a similar charge. - Bernama

Don’t let lack of fields, heat kill us

●  Where are the fields?
While the city team have been struggling in the M-League and several players charged for match-fixing, KLFA have sustained a well-organised league over the years.

Some 71 teams have signed up for the KLFA League this year — 10 teams in the KLFA Super League, 28 teams in Division 1 and 33 teams in Division 2. 

The league has managed to attract teams from other states including Syarikat Air Melaka Bhd and Pelabuhan Tanjung Pelepas, Johor.

Sadly, the lack of playing fields in the city have forced KLFA to organise matches at the KL Hospital field.

The other venues in the city include Batu Cantonment field (Jalan Ipoh), Institute Pendidikan Ilmu Khas in Cheras, University Malaya and the National Sports Council field in Bukit Jalil.

Some matches are played at the Maybank field in Bangi while there are on-going efforts to get Pulapol to lease their field at Jalan Semarak.

Since there are not many fields in the heart of the city, it would be wise if KLFA start talking with the Education Ministry and the KL Education Department to allow teams to play in schools. 

They can work out a win-win formula whereby school fields are only rented out during days which have no extra-curricular activities. In return, KLFA could work with a private entity to set up floodlights where the school field can also be used in the late evenings and at night.

This would encourage students to conduct sporting activities later in the evenings and even at night, a good way to escape the unbearable heat during the day.

It would also create extra revenue for the school to upgrade its facilities.

● It’s getting hot in here

The Malaysian Meteorological Department said temperatures are set to rise to a high of 34°C as rain is only expected to fall during the middle of the month.

The prolonged hot and dry spell in the country, coupled with unhealthy air quality especially in Port Klang, Putrajaya and Nilai spell trouble to those playing outdoors.

Even Health Minister Datuk Seri S. Subramaniam, had during an event in Ipoh over the weekend, advised members of the public to wear surgical masks, remain indoors and drink plenty of water.

Yet, schools continue with their sports activities ahead of the annual Sports Day while the FA of Malaysia and the Malaysian Hockey Confederation continue to organise matches in the afternoons and early evenings.

The severe heat would certainly take a toll on the players and affect play but there seems to be no precautionary measures taken as players are left exposed to such extreme weather conditions.

Do we need to see an athlete fall to the ground to only then take action?
