Foul!

Former doubles expert Razif Sidek believes so. Razif has down-played Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong's chances of winning the doubles title. Read more here . I wonder if that assessment was made based on Razif's personal experience. I wonder how the players would feel about the statement. Last but not least, I wonder what the BA of Malaysia have got to say. Hmm... HD says: I'm thinking of getting a new racquet. Any suggestions?

The FA of Malaysia (FAM) issued a statement after English club Chelsea FC lodged a complaint of alleged racial abuse towards Israeli player Yossi Benayoun ( pic ) during a friendly match in KL recently. The chants received coverage worldwide as it was reported by CNN and AFP among others. The statement by FAM was made yesterday - a day after Malaysia were booted out from the World Cup qualifiers. Chelsea responded by saying "the matter is now closed", as reported by the BBC. Below is the statement by FAM. FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION OF MALAYSIA PRESS STATEMENT 29TH JULY 2011 COMPLAINT BY CHELSEA FC With regards to the above matter, the Football Association of Malaysia wishes to issue the following statement: The FA of Malaysia have received a complaint from English Premier League side Chelsea FC over alleged racist abuse targeted at Israeli midfielder, Yossi Benayoun, during a friendly match with the Malaysian XI in Kuala Lumpur on 21st July 2011.

UPDATE 1.51pm: 1. Singaporeans were dropping easily everywhere. But not according to their coach Raddy . 2. Safee Sali apologies to the fans - says defenders mistake was costly for the team. 3. National coach Rajagobal says the fair result would be if the Malaysians won . 4. FA of Malaysia acknowledged receiving letter of complaint from Chelsea FC but refuse to issue statement. ---- Malaysia drew 1-1 with Singapore in the Round 2 (return leg) pre-World Cup match at Bukit Jalil. Singapore advance with a 6-4 aggregate. Fans, including those with RM50 tickets, were seen standing at the stairs as there was no place to sit. Others sat in the Media box. Some had to park along the highway. Most were issued summons. The fans came in full force. But it wasn't an ending they hoped for. National coach K.Rajagobal insisted the main target is the 2015 Asian Cup. He also said that if Fernando Torres is finding difficulties scoring goals, what more our players. HD says: No comment. You be the...

But why? In 2006 I bought the Germany training jersey from an adidas concept store. It was priced at RM89.90. Sadly I bought my Malaysia training jersey from the stands outside the stadium during the Malaysia-Arsenal match. I was told that national jerseys are out of stock. And Nike aren't selling the training jersey. Ye ke? Imagine if 10 percent of the 85,000 fans (8,500) bought the training kit at an estimated price tag of RM100 each, we're looking at a total sales of RM 850,000 - that's close to RM1 million for just one match. Oh well. HD says: Original, Grade A, pasar malam...janji jersey Malaysia.

I received a phone call from Shahmim Imran of Planet Football and he didn't sound pleased. "I went to Bukit Jalil Stadium and there were no tickets available. I rushed to PJ Stadium and the counters are closed with a sign that states people should come back tomorrow. "Rajagobal say people can come in full force to watch Liverpool play and they should do the same when the national team plays. Tell Rajagobal to talk to his FA (of Malaysia) first as to why it is easier to buy Liverpool tickets than the Malaysia-Singapore tickets!" Shamim, whom I've known since the early days of the now defunct MyTeam, went home disappointed. But looking at the bright side, football - and techno music - is certainly a unifying factor for Malaysians. From the Sidelines today speak about a man who dumped clubbing and booze to create a theme song for Malaysian sports. It's all about uniting the nation . HD says : It's all about Malaysia and Singapore.

We grew up wanting to be either a doctor, lawyer or engineer. Some wanted to be a nurse, teacher or even pilot. In 10 years to come, every kid would want to be a CONsultant. Why? 1. Can earn a lot of money 2. No one will ever nab you despite it's been happening for ages. There's a job that's becoming more popular in town. It's called 'Land Consultant'. Job description: "Sell" land belonging to others without the owner's knowledge. Qualifications: Sweet talker. Monthly income: Thousands to Millions And judging by my previous exposes, I doubt the culprits will ever be caught. Read all about it here . HD says: Sigh!
