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.

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
