Masoc "pressured" to get rid of staff?

 
Some 70 out of the close to 160 staff from the Malaysian Organising Committee (Masoc), the organiser of the KL 2017 SEA Games and Asean Para Games, have had their contracts cut short.

The employees were handed their letters on Nov 30 and told to leave by Dec 31, 2017. For the record, the one month termination notice "by either party" is in line with Masoc's contract with their staff.

The decision was made following a meeting between Masoc and the Youth and Sports Ministry recently.

Some of them, with existing contracts that run between 15 months and two years, are wondering on what grounds were they being asked to leave early. They also wished they were given the heads up.

"We are fully aware the one month's (termination) notice is clearly stated in our contracts. We are just wondering how was the list (of those asked to leave early) drawn out," said an insider who refused to be named.

"We learnt some 70 staff are involved in this exercise. We could have been warned in advance so that we can find employment elsewhere."

Another source pointed out all contracts should end on Dec 31, 2017 as "there was no need to extend the stay of any officer."

The KL SEA Games officially started on August 19 and ended on August 30, 2017 while the Asean Para Games was held from September 17 to 23, 2017.

There are staff seconded from the Youth and Sports Ministry, National Sports Council and national associations.

"Apparently Masoc is pressured to get rid of the staff as it was a financial burden," the source added.

When asked if Masoc has completed the post-Games review, the source said:

"The sport managers (in Masoc) have completed their post-Games reports and some are awaiting for the national associations to go through them before they are certified and stamped. We were told that the Youth and Sports Ministry has done its own post-Games report."

It remains unclear when Masoc or the ministry will reveal the post-Games report.

    4 reasons why your contract is terminated.
    1.You have no crony connections with the Sports Ministry.
    2.You have not carried our you duties well nor have you carried any Sports Ministry officials balls well.
    3.You are not of a particular team player and you are lazy.
    4.You are on contract, so STFU and go. No explanation necessary.

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
