Not so 'Special Meeting'

A press release was emailed by the FA of Malaysia (FAM) a day earlier, it read the FAM will hold a Special Meeting to address the match-fixing fiasco.

But all was revealed at the Press conference right after the meeting at Shahzan House yesterday - that the meeting was not to special after all.

Rightly put, it was a long awaited follow up.

And FAM deputy president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah (pic), unlike most of his defensive peers, was quick to admit it.

Why?

Fact 1: FAM already has a Vetting, Transparency and Monitoring committee which is chaired by Aseh Che Mat. Sadly they only started meeting after this expose here.

Fact 2: A committee comprising of the Police and Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission was set after Fifa head of security Chris Eaton visited Wisma FAM last year.

Fact 3: Almost the same faces of the committee were seen at Shahzan House yesterday.

So was it a 'new' committee formed?

No.

And Tengku Abdullah sums it up well;

“I am not happy (with the progress made) and that’s why we are here. I wanted to put my point across."

HD says: If only the committees actually worked in the first place. Don't expect the deputy president to do everything.

    Whatever committee that is formed to combat this disease should be a totally independent from the curent FAM committees and FAM staffs.

    For the current situation to arrive to such a juncture can only lead to suspicion of an inside job.

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
