Sports minister visits cue artists at world meet in Pandan Indah. Wait, does MPAJ know of the event?

 


Ah, Pandan Indah. I love heading there for the food. You can get pretty much everything there - nasi lemak, bah kut teh, roti canai, western food, Japanese delights, Thai treats and even Mongolian cuisine.

The township hogged the spotlight after High-End Snooker Club, located in Pandan Kapital Mall, graciously offered to host not one, but five world competitions, and one Asian meet. This was reported by Kuala Lumpur news website, Twentytwo13.

Yesterday, the Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu (main image) decided to drop by.

He presented medals to the champion and runners-up of the World 6 Reds Championship. He also presented the Malaysian Snooker and Billiards Federation incentive to national cue artist, Lim Kok Leong for his achievement at the SEA Games in Vietnam. Lim pocketed RM8,000 for the one gold medal (RM5,000) and one silver medal (RM3,000) he won.

In return, Ahmad Faizal received a token of appreciation from International Billiards and Snooker Federation president, Mubarak Al-Khayarin.

For those not in the know, the venue is exactly behind the Ampang Jaya Municipal Council headquarters. I wonder if they even know that such a series of world championships are happening right under their nose, and how they had used them to promote Pandan Indah.

Unless, of course, they feel Pandan Kapital falls under Kuala Lumpur City Hall's jurisdiction, simply due to the fact that the mall's address is Persiaran MPAJ, Pandan Indah, 55100 Kuala Lumpur.

Then again, MPAJ's address, as stated on its website, is: Menara MPAJ Jalan Pandan Utama, Pandan Indah, Selangor 55100 Kuala Lumpur.

Took a screenshot of the address on MPAJ's website, just in case.


Wah, very confusing lah, this local council. They can't even get their address right, what more about stuff that's happening in their own backyard.

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...
