Main Hoki Cincai
"Teams that suffered huge losses to Kuala Lumpur, like the 6-1 drubbing of Perak yesterday, shows that some teams are not well prepared. So, I hope the oldest hockey tournament in the country can be given serious attention by teams." Those were the words of Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) president Tengku Abdullah Shah after witnessing a Razak Cup match in Kuantan on Sunday.
Scorelines can be misleading but it is the quality dished out by the teams which is important. And the Pahang Prince must have unimpressed with what he saw over the weekend.
There were also scores of 5-2 and 10-0 registered yesterday as Malaysian Hockey provides the results in "good faith".
Let's be real. State teams hardly had time to beef up their squads as most of the players were involved in the recently concluded Malaysian Hockey League. Then there was a two-day national training camp prior the Razak Cup.
So can they be blamed?
Also, it is the 50th Razak Cup tournament but it doesn't seem to feel so now, does it?
And if I were to be the sponsor for the tournament, I would seriously reconsider my commitment to such a tournament in the future.
Harsh as it may sound, that is the reality. Tournaments should be treated with much respect and participating teams must be allowed time to prepare for such meets. It should be attractive to those involved - officials, players, sponsor, stakeholders and the masses.
Otherwise, adopt the school like carnival format where teams play three matches within a day, 10 to 15 minutes in every half and the whole tournament ends within three days. Less hassle no? (sic).
I wonder who drew up MHC's calender and who is the tournament's Media consultant? #justasking.....
HD says: Sigh!
Well said
ReplyDeleteWe seem to be doing thing with the mentality of 'cukup syarat'
We seem to have the culture that the national team calendar takes priority over all other tournament and they train all year round so local tournaments are shelved and moved around time and time again
Take a poll with all the teams find out how many days they had to prepare for Razak Cup with a full squad?
I am all for the national team but this 2 days thingy could it not serve better after the Razak Cup? What impact does this 2 days thingy have on player for the Razak cup?
I have time and time reiterated a calendar need to come out early in the year no we have a cramped calendar with Razak Cup, National Indoor U-16, National U14, Sultan of Johor Cup, Pesta Pulau Pinang and National Veterans between now and Xmas not to mention National Team Champions Challenge event in Argentina next month and yes the FIH Congress.
I do pity the sponsors as this is not the first year they have had to deal with this level of professionalism.
Honestly its not that difficult, if we can host international tournament you dont need a media consultant, you dont need PR companies. Simple equation, have a pool of an email list for the media ( easily available), matches are played in morning and evening, take the results and email it out. Granted the media people are not going to sit in Kuantan throughout the duration of the tournament, if you have a scanner then scan the match sheet and send it out.
You just have to think outside the box...
Dont get me started on the grants and ask where the money goes
Saya setuju dengan darthvadai, tak payah media officer, bayar beribu-ribu, kerja tak seberapa, lepas itu bantai PHM lagi dlm blog. PHM bayar RM35 ribu utk media singh kepala besar otak kecik masa liga tnb, jumlah duit yang banyak yg bole diguna utk pembangunan hoki. Pegawai2 PHM harus bangun dan sedar.
ReplyDeletewell said vadai.
ReplyDeleteForget the club league, make the razak cup the premier competition in the country and played home and away. Eventually it will gain interest.
ReplyDeleteIt used to be Malaysian Hopeless Federation, now it is Main Hockey Cincai and if you are to be believe the secretary, then Malaysian Hockey Confusing since he said there was a media CONsultant appointed but no one knows who that person/company is.
ReplyDeleteThe people who did the event last year were told by Johari MHC will handle all the media/pr/website by themselves as they had a former journalist on board to do everything.
As for the caldendar, Darth Vadai said it best. The force is indeed strong with that one.
Fowler is God
Just need to bring Mike< Hashim and Krishnan back. All matters with MHC will be resolved. Just take out the slumberjack who sleeps on his job. What a pity to the sponsors. Last coverage and format was superb. Haresh you need to do some soul searching with slumberjack.
ReplyDeleteConcerned Officials
Bottom of my heart. MHC really needs MIKE badly coz they are bleeding. He did well in the 3 years brought 17 million of funds and two years calendar was in operation and razak cup was played for 3 months and not 10 days like now.

ReplyDeleteone and only solution is bring MIKEY back... No choice negiotate with him and we all know he loves to comeback coz hockey is in his veins of blood. sorry to say this but truth must prevail
ReplyDeleteSeketariat MHC macam KAPCAI 60cc ditunggang oleh kuda tua tanpa minyak. Bunyi lebih tapi tak gerak sampai destinasi tersebut.
ReplyDeleteThis was from the text of the speech by the MHC President during the MHC Council Meeting held in February 2012.
ReplyDelete"Therefore, I have suggested that we need to organize a Seminar in Kuantan, Pahang after the Olympic Qualifiers in-conjunction with the MHC Governing Council Meeting to brainstorm again on the Strategic Planning in which we intend to include the facets of women hockey plus the targets and journey of the Malaysian Women Hockey Team so that we could realign the shortcomings and achievements in every two years.
During the Seminar, I intend to bring few personalities from FIFA and AFC to share with us on their experience on how they manage world class events and administration aspects of managing an Association.
Whatever happened to this so-called Seminar? We have seen a new Secretary General in place yet no seminar is being held? Mike did not have time to see this through but really is 6 months not enough to organise such a seminar?
Following this, we cannot forget another support area and that is the Secretariat. This is the “heart center” of MHC. If this structure is weak it can create “bottlenecks” along the way and affect most of the facets related to hockey.
Currently, we have about 7 to 8 staff on full time basis to escort the secretariat headed by Secretary General of MHC and Treasurer of MHC who has constitutional duties. However, it is a small organization compare to the task in hand to oversee the whole MHC as a governing body of hockey in this country.
Therefore, I intend to strengthen the current Secretariat by establishing a well- balanced secretariat with detail job description and accountability. As for the 13 MHC Sub-Committees’, I intend to create 4 division or business unit with a full time “Working Secretary or Program Director” who will be put to task to handle the facets and accountable for the respective Division.
The current MHC administration is weak, as emphasised by the President during his speech in Kuantan. Yet all that has been done so far is just talk, nothing more. Why the delay in advertising the positions? was MHC really serious nad the other office bearers just nodding their heads in agreement? Perhaps we might end up like India, having no faith in locals and employ a foreignor to run hockey in the country.
Communication is an essential cog in the operations of MHC and the key ingredient here is dissemination of information to Affiliates, Officials and the public. For a better understanding what takes place in MHC and its Affiliates, I am proposing to discuss during the Seminar on how to devise a system where all parties shall be given regularly platform to highlight the status of activities including strength and weaknesses at the MHC Meetings.
Just one look at the MHC website will provide you an answer to this. Social media is the in thing or are we still groping in the dark about it. The 1MAS website is a joke, RM12,500 paid to set it up and monthly payments done for a website not updated. And before I forget the 1MAS people claim they have an updated website- that is a free Wordpress Blog, not a website. A kid can do that.
The principle idea is to ensure that we all could work as a team and help one another to achieve each other objectives at National and State levels.
However, the detail structure and mechanism on the above ideas will be discussed during the MHC Seminar and the final approval will be tabled at the next MHC Executive Board Meeting before implementing the new administrative structure for MHC.
Put a vote of no confidence against SLUMBERJACK and elect MIKE asap. We all support him to return.
ReplyDeleteALL HOCKEY LOVERS PLEASE READ BELOW MIKE TESTAMENT. WHAT A WORLD CLASS ADMINISTRATOR? WELL DONE MIKE AND WE ALL ARE PROUD OF YOU. NO MATCH AND SWEAT FOR CURRENT MHC OFFICE.

Haresh bhai, awak kena siasat mengenai KHM and mengapa setiausaha yang dilantik adalah lemah dan tidak boleh menunaikan kerja-kerja seperti yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan. Tuanku presiden pun senyap dan tidak mengambil apa-apa langkah untuk menyelesaikan kelemahan KHM atau beliau juga adalah seorang yang lemah.
ReplyDeleteBekas pemain
HD pls call mike 0163196353 and convince him to comeback to MHC they are bleeding and msian hockey. do me a favour to save it. thank you very much haresh
ReplyDeleteMike, Mike, Mike.
ReplyDeleteMe, Me, Me. I, I, I.
Before, it used to be Sarjit, Sarjit, Sarjit.
As I said it earlier, everyone should play a stakeholder roles to ensure the sports that everyone here claimed to be their birth rights continue to do well. From outside looking in, I feel so sad to see how people in the hockey fraternity think and behave. Politiking, back stabbing, credit grabbing, behind the scene maneuvering are killing the sport.
No doubt Slumberjack need to buck up or get out BUT in the meantime what did we do to ensure that hockey continue to progress. Waiting for it to die a slow death and then claim victory against those in power? Waiting the power to move to your side then only you'll start to contribute again to hockey? Criticize against any effort made to revitalize hockey? And let me ask you this, where is Mike when MHC need him most after the failure of Dublin qualifier?
Hockey organization is at its lowest point now. So those who got the chance to be part of it in any way please step up and do your best. Please stop the credit seeking and power grabbing. It will come in due course. But if hockey in general stop progressing, not a single credit nor power is worth holding on to.
To Haresh, I'm so sorry (again) that your blog archiver has turned into a blog war zone and taken over 'Voice-In-Sports'. Anyway you should know by now that your blog has attracted a lot of hockey enthusiasts which you hardly covers compared to soccer, etc.
Dei makan hati. Why not you ask mike to comeback and dont hide beind your viel. Your blog doesnt exist. Only solution to mhc is the great mikey as tower of strength during his playing days. World class defender and administator. No doubt
