KL gets easy draw in National Under-14

Press release

Five times champions Kuala Lumpur were given a relatively easy draw for the MHC-NSC-MILO-MOE National Under 14 Championships that will be held in Seremban from November 16-25.

The draw for the championship was held in Seremban and present at the ceremony were Negeri Sembilan Hockey Association Deputy President Dato Abdul Halim Abdul Latif, Nestle Berhad Sports Sponsorship Manager Ng Ping Loong and Malaysian Hockey Confederation Competitions Committee Chairman M. Gobinathan.

"We are grateful to be given an opportunity to host the tournament and assure the teams that we will leave no stone unturned in order to make their stay here a memorable one," said Dato Halim.

"And I hope that our team will deliver their best in the tournament and try emerge as champions."

The city side have won the tournament since its inception in 2007 and will be gunning for their sixth title. They have been placed in Group A with the likes of Kelantan, Pahang, Johor, Perlis and Selangor.

Each participating team will receive a total sum of RM3,000 as subsidy with Nestle contributing RM2,000 and National Sports Council RM1,000.

Nestle also revealed the Milo Cup, which will be the challenge trophy as there has been no challenge trophy since the inception of the tournament in 2007.

Hosts Negri Sembilan are in Group B together with losing finalists Terengganu, Perak, Kedah, Sabah, Malacca and Penang.

The only state giving it a miss for the second consecutive year is Sarawak.

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
