Cashing in on weddings

Khairul Fahmi & Leuniey Nikah_OHBULAN-14National goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat and model Leuniey tied the knot in Pasir Pekan, Tumpat yesterday.

Congratulations to the duo.

The picture was taken from Oh Bulan.

But let's look at the subject of weddings and the mentality of cashing in on weddings.

Apparently the rights to 'cover' the Khairul Fahmi's wedding was given to one particular organisation that even the official Kelantan FA media arm was not allowed to take snap shots.

Betul ka?

Such was also seen during Lee Chong Wei and Wong Mew Choo's wedding dinner. The rights of the wedding was handed to another media establishment despite Chong Wei being an Astro Arena and Maxis ambassador.

One would not blame the 'celebrities' for cashing in. However, it is indeed surprising that those (media organisations) who have been supporting them all along seem to have been 'dianak tirikan' for more moolah (money).

Oh well....

    Lama saya ambil masa untuk memikirkan persoalan ini.

    Perkahwinan, umumnya, melibatkan seluruh keluarga kedua-dua pengantin.

    Khususnya di Malaysia, perbelanjaan perkahwinan bukan murah. Malah, semakin lama semakin ramai bakal pengantin yang membuat pinjaman semata-mata untuk kahwin. Selalunya kerana mengikut kehendak keluarga sendiri/pasangan.

    Bagi saya pula, perkahwinan bukan melibatkan status kariernya sebagai ahli sukan. Jika ya sekalipun, ia bukan keutamaan. Sekaligus, ia tidak seharusnya merangkumi penajaan sukan seseorang atlit.

    Yang penting, Apex membuka sekurang-kurangnya satu majlis untuk kedatangan peminat dan kelab penyokong.

    Saya percaya, media seperti Kelantan FA tidak dibenarkan mengambil gambar bagi mengekalkan eksklusiviti (ada ke perkataan seperti ini?) yang merupakan ciri utama penajaan kepada majlis perkahwinan seperti ini.

    Maksudnya, tiada kejutan di sini.

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...
