Razak Cup teams shortchanged?

UPDATE 11.24am: - Here are some questions that I truly hope someone could answer;

1. This is 2012 but why is the 'regulations' for this year's MHL identified as 2011?
2. Why are there many complaints about the running of this year's MHL? And if there are indeed shortcomings, are these complaints directed to the Malaysian Hockey Confederation and will they be addressed?
3. Three stooges? What's that all about?
4. And what's up with some folks, posting comments anonymously about a 'slumberjack' in MHC?

Please refrain from personal attacks and if you do plan to answer these questions, please do so in a constructive and healthy manner. Thank you.

"The tournament starts on the 14th of October and it is ridiculous for the national coach to call for a two-day training camp which will deny the states a chance to re-group their squads.

Six players from Kuala Lumpur are involved with the call-up, so it is our stand that if (national coach Paul) Revington goes ahead with his plans, the Razak Cup should be called off as states would not have enough time to re-group their players."

Those were the words of KL Hockey Association  secretary V.Rajamanickam. The full report can be read on NST's Jugjet Singh's blog.

Apparently some had known about the call up even before the league started but kept mum as they wanted to see if it really materialises. Now it looks like the call up will happen thus leaving the participating teams feeling shortchanged.

It is understandable that the national coach does not have the luxury of time and would like to meet his players regularly. This simply boils down to a structured and systematic annual programme.

If one plans ahead and teams are well aware of the year-long activities, all parties concerned would be able to plan ahead.

But, do the decision makers plan?

    1. While it can be easily passed off as a typo error but there are a lot the underlying factors that are contributing to this. People need to be hands on reviewing things not just copy paste and send it out the door

    2. I too have heard of a few things such as Management of the league to key policies not being adhered. I do believe there must be an open policy in people voicing what right and wrong about the league constructively and not get punished for it.

    3. Gua tak tau

    Overall we do need a proper calendar, we need to sit down and review the national team priorities If you look at the calendar now between Oct till the end of the year there are so many tournament crammed in

    Personally I do agree some teams are shortchanged in having players made available to them but I do not thing this was a decision made at the last minute.

    There was also a MHC Council meeting recently - was this issues raised there?

    Failing to plan is planning to fail (credit: Winston Churchill). So much initiatives have been undertaken to revive Malaysian hockey including the recent hiring of Paul Revington. It's a good new start but will fail miserably if all parties involved not working cohesively. Stop the Malaysian culture of untrusting, credit seeking, power grabbing, counter productive behind the scene maneuvering and start working together. The full time office bearer/officers should take utmost responsibility and fill in the gaps to make things work. To the states, clubs, media, critics, parents and players, you also play a big role in developing hockey in Malaysia so please act responsibly ......

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
