National sports associations should rightfully run sports but in Malaysia ...

".... the national sports associations (NSAs) allow others to take charge and then whine about it!"

That was in essence the conversation I had with several officials and athletes (past and present) in recent days.

There were those who agreed it is time for the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) to run the show. 

There were others who say the idea seems ideal on paper but will not work in reality. Also, the office bearers cannot be part of any other national bodies to ensure there is no conflict of interest.

Here are some of the other comments:

1. "The concept is simple. NSAs should run their own sports. But in Malaysia it becomes blurred when the NSAs can't stand on their own two feet and rely on others for funds."

2. "Why quick to blame MSN (National Sports Council)? So many office bearers (in NSAs), what do they do?"

3. "Idea is good but siapa yg nak implement kat OCM?

4. "The main stakeholders are the minister, MSN, OCM, NSAs. Minister's, MSN's, OCM's and NSAs targets are the same as they are all using government's funds, which of course is never sufficient to achieve their targets. Since OCM & NSAs have very little say on the budget, what else can they do but to just tag along. On the other hand if the NSAs were to run the training programmes (on their own), can NSAs be trusted? Of course not! Accusations that MSN itself is wasteful cannot be substantiated because MSN has the whole government system to check on them."

5. "Why Germany and other develop nations can have decentralised program by (the) state sport authority (while) working with state sports bodies coupled with federal funding? They are doing so well in the Olympics."

6. "Ramai pakar komen but if nothing is done, nothing will ever change."

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...
