Oh Thiru....

Let's look at two scenarios.

Scenario 1
Mario Balotelli (Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur)

Mario Balotelli will serve his four-match ban after Manchester City opted not to appeal against his suspension.

The controversial Italian striker appeared to stamp on Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker's head during Sunday's 3-2 win at the Etihad Stadium - before his last-minute penalty winner kept City three points clear of the Barclays Premier League.


Read the full report here.


Scenario 2

V.Thirumurugan (Kedah v Kelantan)


Insiden V Thirumurugan (Kedah) pijak Mohammed Ghaddar (Kelantan) dalam aksi Liga Super Kedah vs Kelantan (pic) 20 Januari 2012, Stadium Darul Aman. Thirumurugan bagaimanapun terlepas hukuman kerana terlepas pandang insiden pijak berkenaan.


Watch the video here.


With Astro Arena now showing the matches live and a major sponsor of the Super League, it would be impossible not to get recordings of the matches. Otherwise, we can always count on youtube.


Those who watched Balotelli and Thirumurugan would be able to conclude which of the two should be severely penalised.


But then again, there is a huge difference on how football is run in England and Malaysia. Oh well.

    After watching the match I was waiting some reaction from FAM or the respective committee as to what sort of action should be taken against Thiru for his unprofessional attitude. He deserve a severe punishment for that incident. Hope he doesn't get away and I hope Kedah FA don't make a fuss if there is an action taken against his player. In fact it will more appropriate if Kedah had made the first move to punish Thiru. Referees, Assistants, Match Inspectors and others who are directly involved - IGNORANCE is no EXCUSE>

    When Asraruddin Putra Omar stamped on S. Sivaraj during the KL v Selangor Malaysia Cup match in 2011 at the Selayang Stadium, no action was taken either. What was worse the incident happened in front of the linesman. FAM does not believe in taking retrospective action. "Jangan Pandang Belakang" is their motto.

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
