'FAM sasar layak Piala Dunia 2014'

This article was written by current Sportswriters Association of Malaysia president Ahmad Khawari Isa during his time at Berita Harian.


The article below was written by News Straits Times sports editor Vijesh Rai when he was covering football as a journalist.



Both articles appeared on July 30, 1999.

It says a lot.

It also comes to no surprise to why some fans left the Shah Alam Stadium disgruntled after Malaysia lost 1-0 to Qatar in an Asian Cup qualifying match.

HD says: When will we be serious? When will we ever start a major revamp?

    Takziah atas kegagalan ke Piala Asia 2015. Adios Datuk K Rajagopal. Syabas buat peminat setia yang tak jemu berkunjung ke stadium. Mereka adalah wira, waja dan satria (eh macam nama kereta lah pulak) yang saya dendang...salute! I think everything else remains. Status quo. Lepas ni ada coach baru. Tapi orang lain di FAM masih sama. Kepala2 otak nya tiada perubahan. Kena kritik melenting, tapi perubahan tak penting. Pening.

    Not until the top 2 step down. Yes, I mean the President and his son. There's no point if only the President step down coz the current decision maker is the Dep. President.

    Thank you Raja for all the good times with the National team. I guess that you will be snapped up by a M League team in no time. Looking back, last night's result was the best for Msia. I am sure that Malaysians don't want to see Msia being thrashed in the Asian cup in 2015. That's what will happen if we qualify (even as the best 3rd placed team). So, really a blessing in disguise. Like I said before, Malaysia need to be able to beat all our neighbours regularly. Then we can challenge for bigger honours. Our target for the new coach will be to mould a team that can beat our neighbours on a regular basis.

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
