Imagine you are an athlete. You spend at least eight hours a day training. You train to be among the best and to win tournaments. You may obtain money either from sponsorships or from monthly funding by a particular organisation. You may not be as lucky as your more popular counterparts who earn millions just by endorsing brands. You have a family to feed. But you don't complain. Nevertheless, you do hope the money you earn from competitions will enable you to take your wife for a nice dinner or buy your child a cool toy as a gift. So you compete in this tournament, drop dead confident of bagging the main prize. You slug it out with some of the best in the scene and after a good fight you emerge victorious. The spotlight is on you and you make headlines - all for the right reasons.  Suddenly you are told that you are unable to receive the prize money that you deserve simply because the organisers have not obtained 'funding' from a third party. You wait, you wait...

What would you do if your son came home with a badly bruised face and missing four of his front teeth? That was the situation faced by a Malaysian Hockey Federation office bearer after his son, who turned 14 a day earlier, had allege he was ganged up by several fifth formers for they had thought he had snitched on them. The police report lodged by the Form 2 lad stated he was whacked because: "...he was suspected of leading the school warden (in this case a school teacher) to raid their hostel rooms to find syabu and the warden had referred the matter to the Malaysian Anti-Drug Agency."
