Malaysia sepak takraw in disarray, national athletics coach has Covid-19, IRB moves to declare OCM's Nazifuddin a bankrupt

The Malaysian sepak takraw scene is in a mess. No I'm not talking about the performance of the team but the national body.

Terengganu is the latest to quit the Malaysia Sepak Takraw Association, as reported by Berita Harian.

The east coast state body said: "PSM juga gagal dalam mengurus tadbir di peringkat kebangsaan serta gagal memberi penjelasan sebenar mengenai situasi yang berlaku antara PSM dengan ASTAF dan ahli gabungannya."

It becomes the fifth state to distance itself from the national body after Kelantan, Johor, Selangor and Kedah.

For decades, the same faces are seen in the national body and at the regional level. One wonders what have they done for the sport.

Get well soon, Manshahar!

National athletics coach Mohd Manshahar Abdul Jalil and two of his family members have tested positive for Covid-19.

National news agency, Bernama reported:

Presiden Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM), Datuk S M Muthu berkata, Mohd Manshahar bersama seorang anak lelakinya kini menjalani proses kuarantin di rumah selama 14 hari, selepas disahkan dijangkiti wabak itu pada Sabtu lalu.

"Saya berhubung menerusi WhatsApp dan beliau memberitahu keadaannya baik serta tidak menghadapi sebarang masalah, tahap jangkitannya juga rendah. Kita harap dan doakan beliau segera sembuh."

I'm glad Muthu had time for Bernama and didn't hang up. I hope Manshahar, his wife their son get well soon.

IRB moves to declare OCM's Nazifuddin a bankrupt

Datuk Nazifuddin Najib has been served with a bankruptcy notice following his failure to pay RM37. 6 million in taxes he owes the Inland Revenue Board (IRB), reported New Straits Times.

According to the bankruptcy notice sighted by the New Straits Times, Nazifuddin now has to pay RM37.6 million with interest at five percent a year between July 6, 2020 and Feb 4, 2021, amounting to RM1.1 million from the date of the order of a summary judgement as well as costs of RM10,000.

This brings the accumulated sum to RM38.7 million.

Before anyone gets excited, Nazifuddin is still the Olympic Council of Malaysia secretary-general and declaring one a bankrupt is a lengthy process.

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...
