Did FAM decide matters thoroughly before announcing them?

Here are some paragraphs from Vijhay Vick's article in The Malay Mail today:

1. The national body also prematurely decided on increasing the M-League foreign quota to four players, leaving Super League and Premier League teams in a mad rush to sign players 11 days before the Dec 4 Fifa deadline.

2. National coach K.Rajagobal refused to comment on the decision, opting to wait until FAM officially informs him.

3. When asked about (Harimau Muda A) Ong's (Kim Swee) contract extension, (FAM general secretary) Hamidin  (Amin) would only say that “it would be discussed soon’’.

It would be interesting to see Ong as interim coach in addition to overseeing the National Under-23 squad when FAM have yet to even tie him down with a contract.

4. FAM will be hoping that Fifa’s Transfer Matching System (TMS) would allow an extension beyond to the Dec 4 transfer window deadline for foreigners.

Increase quota of players with only 11 days before deadline?

Did not inform Rajagobal that FAM will not extend contract leaving the former international to learn about the decision from the media?

Ong asked to take over national team but no discussion over his contract extension?

FAM hopes Fifa would allow extension?

Come to think of it, did FAM decide on these matters thoroughly before announcing them?

    Pretentious as usual.

    They are just "testing the waters" to see how the public reacts and responds. By doing so, the officials looked miserably incompetent in their duties and role as Football administrators.
    They toy around with some new ideas for a reason only known to them, and in that process confuse the others-FAM themselves have become confused.

    Dear Haresh,

    The last time when I commented about the antics of FAM (with a huge dose of sarcasm) it elicited unwarranted comments from a rabid canine of unknown pedigree......hope there is no such yelping this time !!!!
    FAM is now like another Malaysian political party....flip flopping,indecisive and infested with worthless bodoh sombong personalities.Just take time to listen to their statements.....they are clueless and just do not know their job lah. Hamidin has the cheek to say that they will revert to AFC to determine the validity of Annuar Musa's recent inclusion despite his suspension.......kalau dah kena gantung.....biar digantung......why do you need to refer to AFC ? Was reference made to AFC before Annuar's suspension ? Shame on Hamidin for not knowing his job.
    Now they are courting OKS.......and OKS achievements thus far has not been spectacular (save for the gold in the last SEA games).Just a few weeks ago his boys lost meekly to Myanmar and were whipped 5-0 in another friendly. And this was the team that used up the taxpayers money by living and playing in Slovakia and surrounding countries for about 4-6 months .OKS has already sent out some negatives for the forthcoming SEA games draw...saying we are bunched in a difficult group.Seems like we might not even be able to beat Timor Leste or Laos. OKS boys can't even string a few decent passes and the team lacks a natural leader (same as Raja's team).
    If the team comes back without the gold.....FAM will finger OKS and they will say grandiose things like "We are in talks with Pep Guardiola, Manuel Pellegerini and Carlo Ancelotti......all are keen to take Malaysia to the World Cup and FAM will do its part to ensure we make it the World Cup.Meanwhile FAM will send its top officials to Germany,UK and Spain to meet up with these coaches to discuss our terms of engagement.These officials will also be making a trip to Brazil for a fact finding mission to understand the intricacies of hosting World Cup.This would help us tremendously when we bid to host the World Cup in the near future."

    Cheers

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
