Bibiana inspires again

In 2007 national shooter Bibiana Ng (pic) - together with Joseline Cheah and Siti Nur Masitah Mohd Badrin - were slapped with a two-year ban by the International Sport Shooting Federation after testing positive for the banned drug Propranolol in March.

Three years later, Bibiana returned to the scene with a bang after shooting down the gold medal at the 2010 Commonwealth Games.

And yesterday, the lass rewrote her own national record after scoring 538 points in the 25m pistol women's individual event at the 36th SEASA championship in Subang. Read more here.

She had set the national record of 537 points four years ago.

It is indeed amazing to see how athletes bounce back from an ugly episode to silence their critics and win accolades.

Bibiana has done it, yet again, and she is indeed an inspiring story to not only shooters but athletes alike.

Here's hoping to see Bibiana hog the limelight in the near future. With such grit and determination, she deserves it.

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
