'Coaches should work with teachers'

The Education Ministry has urged national sports associations (NSAs) to plan ahead to ensure the education of their student athletes is not compromised.

The ministry’s sports department director Ee Hong (pic) said NSAs should be mindful of the examination period and to ensure their athletes apply for the Agrotat System and meet the criteria.

“Education is important and it is paramount they fulfil the regulations set by the Agrotat System if they are to compete in major tournaments abroad,” said Ee Hong.

“NSAs should plan ahead instead of doing things on an ad hoc basis.”

National hockey junior team manager Mirnawan Nawawi called the Agrotat System “illogical”, as published in Mailsport yesterday.

    If countries like US, UK , Germany , Korea , Japan and many other countries could excel well in sports where many of their athletes are college or varsity students. If they can do it, why not our students. Lets work together to create a"win-win " situation. Put aside all differences , it should be consensus . Please don't victimize the talented lot by holding to your "prideful ownership" . Find a solution to help these unfortunate sportsman / woman which the responsible agency can think tank and comes up with amicable settlement. Good luck to all parties.

    When we have incompetent policy makers, teachers and coaches,... what can we expect from them besides just routine. In the first place, can all these people involved in so called nation building, can set examples starting with their own families and children???

    Till today we are still lacking in many values, the most noticeable are the littering habits.' We are always looking at the bigger picture, but we failed to look at our 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...
