Malaysia All Star coach faces suspension

As published in Malay Mail today



By Haresh Deol 

PETALING JAYA — Nick Sham Abdullah could face disciplinary action for his coaching of the Malaysia All-Stars in their match against Persib in Bandung last Saturday.

The National Coaches Association (NCA) will next week discuss Nick Sham’s membership after he coached Malaysia All-Stars to the game which they lost 4-1 at the Si Jalay Harupat Stadium. Local broadcasters MNCTV aired the match live.

NCA president B. Satianathan said the decision to put Nick Sham on the carpet follows his meeting with FA of Malaysia (FAM) general-secretary Datuk Hamidin Amin at Wisma FAM yesterday.
“I met Hamidin to get a clearer picture and was informed the national body are also investigating this match,” said Satianathan.

“Our records show him being a member of the association. We will get in touch with Nick Sham and inform him of the meeting.”

Once the national coach Satianathan stressed Nick Sham blatantly disregarded the fact that the match was unsanctioned despite it being a “friendly”.

“The match was widely reported by the Indonesian press and televised live. But it did not receive the approval from the appropriate authorities and as such it is deemed unsanctioned. But we will still allow Nick Sham to present his case.”

FAM, as the governing body, can suspend Nick Sham’s coaching licence if found guilty. 
Asian Football Confederation (AFC) general-secretary Datuk Windsor Paul John, as quoted by Mailsport yesterday, said Indonesian officials said the Malaysian side were on a “vacation”. 

On Saturday, former Kelantan defender S. Subramaniam lodged a police report after his image was used by the organisers, without his permission, to promote the match.

He deemed it as misrepresentation as two other faces were seen on the poster — T-Team defender Mohammad Faizal Muhammad and a foreigner.

Efforts to reach Nick Sham since Sunday proved futile.

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...
