Sarawak's Social Development Minister Tan Sri William Mawan has blamed police for the woeful crowd control that led to rioting, as reported here.

Perak Football Association refuted claims that Perak supporters were involved the riot at the State Stadium in Kuching, as seen here.

During an earlier match, five Sarawak supporters from the group ‘GB13’ were allegedly assaulted outside the compound of Stadium Perak on Wednesday night, according to fan accounts and video on social media.

According to one of the victims, Hifadhi Fatha Sarbini, 22, a Sarawakian working in Ampang, they were about to leave the stadium peacefully when one of the alleged attackers was seen shouting profanities and racial abuse at them in the parking lot.

Question: What happened to the FA of Malaysia's 'Love Football Stop Hooliganism' campaign launched in February?

 Question: Racism in football? Between fans? Among us fellow Malaysians just as we celebrated the nation's independence day on August 31 and to honour the formation of Malaysia on September 16?

 SIGH!

Note: This is not the first time we have faced incidents involving racism and hooliganism at football matches in Malaysia. Among others: 
a) Malaysian FA apologises to Benayoun over racist abuse
b) Perlawanan bola sepak Pahang lawan JDT kecoh apabila ada penyokong JDT cedera kena baling objek keras diluar stadium
c) FAM rekod 18 insiden gaduh libat penyokong

    The society and the school system has failed!
    Malaysians in this beloved country are heading towards low moral and ethical values. These is happening mainly because, there is too much of racial sentiments being planted into the minds of the masses.

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
