Oh MCA Youth ... 三思而后行


On Jan 6, MCA Youth tweeted the graphic above.

It caught my attention and I made some phone calls to some friends in MCA, eager to find out if MCA Youth is well aware that MCA vice president Datuk Seri Ti Lian Ker is the deputy president of the Youth and Sports Ministry.

Below is what I tweeted minutes ago:




In one of the those phone calls to my friends in MCA, I was informed by a senior member:

"MCA Youth is always eager to find ways to stay relevant but they seem to be lost in their own world."

Here's a pointer MCA Youth, it's best to check when you already have someone within your organisation who is part of the system.

The National Sports Council (NSC or MSN in Bahasa Melayu) relies on government funds. If it's budgeted in the annual budget, they have allocation.

If there's no money for athletes, MCA Youth should tell the prime minister to shed his bloated Cabinet

MCA Youth should also ask the prime minister where did the RM10 million, which was given to the Football Association of Malaysia, came from? 

Kindly refer to my column in Getaran - Kononnya Tak Ada Duit Tapi Ada RM10 Juta Untuk FAM

You can also read what a veteran sports administrator and an Olympian had to say about the RM10 million that was allocated to the national football body in news website, Twentytwo13 (‘FAM must explain how it will use RM10m govt money’)

If they are afraid of the prime minister, they can ask MCA president Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong who is part of the Cabinet (as Transport Minister). I'm sure such decisions, involving tax payers' money, are discussed, no?

It's always best to check before jumping on the 'viral, I-want-to-be-popular' bandwagon - especially when you can obtain a clearer picture from your boss is part of the set up. 

It's not like people have much faith left in MCA. Don't lah do things that will hurt the association even more.

As the saying goes, 三思而后行 (think three times before you act / fikir tiga kali sebelum ambil tindakan)

Happy Chinese New Year in advance.

Papa win, papa win.

Those were the words of three-year-old Dasha Ong. National coach Ong Kim Swee has not seen his wife Alodle Donna Derick, Dasha and his seven month old baby Dashie for almost a month. And the words of Dasha just hours prior the kick off between Indonesia and Malaysia in the final certainly motivated Kim Swee. In return, Kim Swee motivated the lads and they won. Read more in today's Mailsport. As expected members of the Press - even those not from the Sports Desk - had numerous questions for Kim Swee. Some wanted Kim Swee to share his experience in Jakarta, others were penning down every word of his when he slammed the organisers for their antics which certainly disturbed him and the boys. But the celebrations must come to an end as Kim Swee and the Olympic lads will now face Syria in the Asia zone Olympic qualifiers tonight (8.45pm). And Kim Swee had this to say: "The players are tired but with the support of the fans, if they come in full force, perhaps that will motivate our...

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...
