Safee eager for better show, RIP Subramaniam

It was not the entrance national striker Safee Sali (pic) had in mind.

Just as he replaced Azamuddin Akil in the 70th minute, Bahrain’s Ismaeel Abdul-Latif scored the solitary goal (71st minute) of the match in the Asian Cup qualifying match last Friday.

“Suwey betul la (what bad luck),” was Safee’s immediate reaction.

“I’m not happy at all. I entered the field and our opponents scored. I don’t want to see such a thing happening again.”

Meanwhile, the late A. Subramaniam (pic below), who passed away on Saturday night, was a firm believer in developing young talents.

To him, the base needs to be strengthened before one can achieve better results at the higher level.

During his short stint as Federal Territory Amateur Athletics Association (FTAAA) president, he introduced plans to promote the sport at grassroot level.

"He was always about development, development, development. He was eager to see more youngsters getting into athletics," recalled FTAAA secretary S. Vegiyathuman.

    Malaysia will probably go down 2-0 to Qatar.

    Among the other failures by our National team, Safee, will obviously fail to make his mark as usual. Trying very hard and being eager will not work in anyway than using your wisdom.
    What Safee, really need to do is, he need to look at himself in the mirror and ask why has he lost the playable moments he had, not too long ago.

    Is Safee, suffering from fatigue, or is he not able to manage himself well? - When the mind is disturbed the body fails in its duty to react.
    Frustration and disappointment has eventually lead Safee, to say childish things. He is going out off his tracks and deepening himself further down with no return - unless something happens when playing Qatar.

    Speed and power play should be used as a weapon, and not as a routine. Don't unnecessarily drain yourself and end up not able to do as expected.

    "Malaysia will once again fail, unless Safee, can rise again".

    HSKL says: Play more smarter than harder.

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...
