    let me correct the NST report my friend. The 74 generation bagged the Asian Games bronze medal emulating their predecessors in jakarta in 1962. The team was then coached by taskmaster choo seng quee. The 74 team was handled by another taskmaster jalil che din. the 74 asiad shall go down in football folklore as the only time four of the nation's top strikers - mokhtar dahari, syed ahmad abu bakar, shahrudin abdullah and isa bakar - joined forces.

'Boikot jer'

  Who is Muhammad Aiman referring to? I wonder which sport is the team from. I think I may know which team but I'll keep my thoughts to myself.   This particular paragraph interests me: Bagi aku senang, boikot jer, takyah bagi publisiti langsung kalau itu cara dia. Dia meroyan takpe, tapi kalu player mengeluh, merungut dia nak saman media. Acaner tu? Bila ditulis benda positif takde pun share artikel tu di platform media sosial masing-masing, bila tulis negatif laju jer mengugut ... Sue the media? Well people are free to exercise their rights. If its defamatory, the 'victim' has every right to take legal action. Otherwise, don't waste the courts' time lah . What Aiman said is true.

Heroism is more often associated with people who put others first, even at their own peril.  Their actions are not selfish and often in the interest of others, be it an individual, a community or even a nation. In recent times, I have lost many of my ‘heroes’.  I will greatly miss doyens of the media fraternity and legends in their own right like  Datuk Ahmad Talib, Datuk Wong Sai Wan and Tan Sri Lim Kok Wing who were illustrious sons of this soil.  They were all eminent personalities and tributes to them have never stopped coming. They all deserve every bit of the recognition. During these times of uncertainty and hardship to many, it is consoling to reminiscent the great moments of people close and dear. Without a moment of disrespect to these great men, there will be many who will continue to express and write trib

UPDATE 7.16pm: A former gymnast urged the Youth and Sports Ministry to view the allegations made by Cindy Ong seriously, as reported by Twentytwo13 .  -- Damning allegations that cannot be swept under the carpet. MalaysiaKini had earlier today quoted swimmer Cindy Ong and another athlete of sexual assaults by their former coaches and even a politician. There's also a BM version of the article.  Dalam salah satu kejadian ketika keluar negara, dia mendakwa seorang jurulatih menyentuh payudaranya. Ong berkata dia masih ingat jurulatih tersebut masuk ke biliknya dan menyuruhnya melelapkan mata sebentar sebelum pertandingan.  Lelaki berkenaan kemudian duduk di sebelah dan mengusap badannya. "Saya berbaring di atas katil, dia datang dan mengusap bahu saya. Kemudian, tangannya meliar ke sana sini ..." katanya. ...
