Pilih bulu

The Education Ministry (MoE) issued a statement pertaining the bashing of a Form Two school boy by several fifth formers.

The statement by sports division director Ee Hong read:

Dear Haresh,

Thank you for your concern. We are aware of this case. As the matter has been reported to the police we are leaving it to the police for further investigation. The school has taken action according to procedures instituted.

The boy, son of a Malaysian Hockey Federation officer, suffered bruises on his face and lost four of his front teeth. He was whacked pretty bad. It's a police matter now, as reported in today's Mailsport.

Deputy Education Minister Dr Wee Ka Siong replied my SMS saying he was flying off to London from Switzerland and will only be back on Sunday.

Some officials are on the ball. They can be in Timbuktu and are still able to answer our queries through the phone, SMS or even email.

Deputy health minister Rosnah Rashid Shirlin was at the Asean Inter Parliamentary Assembly in Cambodia last month but was still able to furnish details about the nation's new health care transformation plan.

National Sports Institute CEO Dr Ramlan Aziz too is always ever willing to share his thoughts or put the record straight even if he is in Kuching or London.

Even Cheras police chief ACP Mohan Singh Tara Singh took time off from his busy schedule to explain the status of the case.

But you also have some officials who will only speak to their favourite "Media organisation". These officials will even wait for them despite running late for another appointment.

I know this happens a lot for general news related press conferences but for sports? Hmm...

    Gua tak pilih bulu bila publish komen, termasuk komen-komen yg kutuk gua.

    Yg gua tak approve ialah personal attack terhadap org lain. So kalau ada org tinggalkan komen menyatakan lu dah berkahwin tapi masih beromen dgn kambing kat luar, gua tak approve. pasal personal mah =)

    terima kasih dan majulah sukan utk negara.

    It's because the public does not trust the impartiality of the press; they resort to passing comments as 'Anonymous'. But your example of 'beromen dengan kambing diluar' reflects on your line of thought......

From 'Mr P' to 'Kemelut Dalaman BAM': Four chapters of 'mesej Whatsapp layang'

Image
Surat layang , or rather ' mesej Whatsapp (or some will pronounce as Wasup) layang '. That was what I received this afternoon from a number that is not registered on my phone. The sender identified him/herself as " ahli yg memerhati tingkah laku BAM " (Badminton Association of Malaysia). The four chapters were titled as:  'Siapa dia Tan Sri BAM "Mr P"' Perletakan Jawatan Presiden BAM 'Siapa Tengku Zafrul' Kemelut Dalaman BAM There were many allegations to which the sender justified as not " fitnah " but " hakikat apa yg berlaku ". The four chapters highlights Mr P's "connection kuat ", goes into why Tengku Zafrul was named as the incoming BAM president, and takes issue with the establishment of 'Yayasan Badminton Nasional' and Akademi Badminton Malaysia. The writer (unsure if the sender is also the writer) also wrote that ' majority in the Council dalam BAM semua tak berani buat laporan sebab tak

Ramlan saga - Part 3

UPDATE (May 23, 2012: 12.06pm): Dilema JKR, 'dua' ketua pengarah - this was brought to my attention. Read here for more. ----- I first wrote about the effort to remove National Sports Institute director general Dr Ramlan Aziz in March - as seen here . Then I wrote about the same subject again early May . I was invited to be a guest for this week's Kafe Sukan but had to decline as the recording was done on Sunday - the same day I left the country. Apparently Ramlan's predicament was discussed. Despite receiving numerous SMS-es - for and against what was discussed - I will refrain from commenting as I have yet to view the show. I have also been told there are efforts to get certain people to replace Ramlan. To me that is secondary. I have still not obtained the answers to these questions; 1. According to the NSI Act, only the minister can hire or fire the director general. Has the minister issued such a directive? 2. According to the country's Lab
