Overcrowded stadium at AFF final joins series of Whys


In about two weeks 2018 will come to an end.

Yet, it seems the year will leave us with more questions than answers.

Why...

1. Why were fans seen sitting and standing at the stairways during the AFF Cup final (1st leg) between Malaysia and Vietnam at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil yesterday? What if there was a fire or emergency? Who will then be held responsible? This has happened before and it is still happening again. Haven't we learnt (anything)? And to even suggest a viewing party within the stadium complex ...

2. Why is it still difficult to accept how the ticketing system for the final left many fuming? Below is the statement by the ticketing agency. Acceptable?


3. Why do we behave like we have never organised major events? Hiccups are expected but to get the basics wrong (as pointed out above)?
Remember the result system of the 2017 KL SEA Games where the outcome of certain matches were flashed out hours after the competition ended?

4. Speaking of the 2017 SEA Games, why haven't we heard anything about the post Games executive summary or the accounts? Wasn't it supposed to be ready by Aug 31, 2018? Why the delay? What about the equipment used during the Games?

5. Why is the committee set up to look into the death of a participant during the Port Dickson International Marathon in July taking so long to reveal the findings of its investigation?

6. Why wasn't there a detailed plan in place before existing programmes involving national athletes were 'revamped'?

7. Why hasn't there been any word about the boxing ring and equipment, used during the Manny Pacquiao-Lucas Matthysee fight in Kuala Lumpur on July,  that was supposed to be given to the Youth and Sports Ministry?

8. Why hasn't there been a detailed plan about the RM10 million which has been allocate to the Malaysian Digital Economy Corporatation (MDEC) to develop eSports in Malaysia.


Here's hoping for some answers when stakeholders meet at the Olympic Council of Malaysia 25th Annual Dinner tonight.

Or it could be yet another selfie/wefie affair for the 'decision makers'.

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
