It is so sad that after so many years of seeing the downfall in football in Malaysia, we are still unable to find out the root cause. Let me start to give some of the root causes:
a) Look at who is heading the FAM
b) Why are the coaches changed every now and then?
c) How are the players selected? Is there a quota in this as well?
d) What kind of players are selected? Thinking players or .......
e) How is the M_league being monitored? By the way....anyone aware that there is a league competition in malaysia?
I can name the first 11 players years back but not even 1 today.
R Arumugam, Soh Chin Aun, Santokh Singh, Jamal Nasir, R Ravindran, Abdullah Ali, Bakri Ibni, Wong Choon Wah, Mokhtar Dahari, Bakri Ibni, Isa Bakar, Rashid Hassan, John Engketesu
There is no structure at all all. How can you have State FA's owing money to the players? If the welfare is not taken care off, how do you expect them to play with their hearts out.
There is nothing wrong with the current set of coaches that we have. All we have to do is not the let the management interfere with the job that they are responsible of doing. Management just focus on their set of duties.
I would pay a RM 100 ringgit if I could just get the glimpse of the game when Malaysia played again Japan (kamamoto and Okudera) as well as Korea (Cha Buen Kuen) time. It was so interesting to see the games.
If there is an Olympic Event for this " CAKAP, TAK SERUPA PIKIN", we would definitely win.

Lompat Si Katak Lompat
Money Money Money....its so funny....we can lompat again.....
Thats how the lyrics should be for our local politicians....isnt it frustrating to see whats happening in our political scenario today? There are no TRUE CAPABLE leaders fighting for the development of the community they represent. Every single one is looking for opportunities on how to further expand their "FAT BELLIES".
It is so sickening to see what is happening in Perak and I would not be suprised to see similar actions happening in other states. All politicians are like the malay proverb that says " Umpama lalang, di mana angin bertiup, di situlah ianya bergerak".
Sometimes I dont blame them because we the citizens of Malaysia, allow them to be where they are today. Why it is so? Because these politicians have so much money and power that sometimes people are so afraid of them. It is not out of respect anymore.
When will all this end? We CITIZENS OF MALAYSIA, need to know what we need and what is needed for the social, political and economical development of our beloved nation. We need to tell these politicians that you are no more Yang Berhormat but Yang Berkhidmat. We need to be brave enough to make changes within the political party. One should never be Selfish. The moment this takes place in ones mind and thoughts, you can just forget about having an exemplary leader.
Lompatlah katak....carilah makanan yang lebih berkhasiat....tapi INGAT, TUHAN YANG MAHA ESA MELIHAT SEGALA PERBUATAN ANDA.

Science and Maths in English? Whats the HU HA!!
Demonstrations again on the approach of how we teach Science and Maths. This time around, the demonstrations were done by a group that defends the Bahasa Melayu. Wonder if they have a permit!!!!
Why such a big hu ha on this? Isnt it for the better of the people. Look at Tun Dr Mahathir, Prof Ungku Aziz, our current DPM, and many more. Arent they not proficient in English? Why are they so proficient in English?
We started of with the journey of teaching Science and Maths in English. Lets continue with it and I am sure we have seen significant improvement. With this too, we also have ensured in a "WAY", in the selection process of our Teachers that is being done by the Education Ministry. Now, if teachers are not proficient, then blame it on the Education Ministry and the selection process.
If we are to go back to the previous method, then just imagine the amount of money we would have wasted and the amount of money that we are bound to waste and in the current economic situation, we cant afford to have that.
This is a political agenda to gain popularity and to buy confidence of the people. Well, what do you expect from the nations cheap politicians.

Congratulations Saravanan
Recently the STPM results were out. The SPM results were out too. Of course the the highlite of the SPM results were the extraordinary results of the candidate who scored 21A's. I can't even remember his name. The news that caught my attention was the results of Saravanan in STPM results. So, who is this Saravanan?
Abandoned as a child, 21-year-old S. Saravanan, who also suffers from cerebral palsy, had defied the odds to emerge as one of three physically-challenged students to be commended by the Malaysian Examinations Council for his Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia examination results.
Saravanan, a science student, scored two As and three B. Doesn't that make you proud?
We should really lend our hand out to ensure that he really gets the required help to achieve his dreams.
CONGRATULATIONS SARAVANAN.

ELECTION CAMPAIGN<>WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY
Everyone is so busy now. They must be busy thinking who they are going to vote for or helping out with the Candidates in their campaign. I was shocked to hear on the amount of money that would be used by Suruhanjaya Pilihanraya to manage the coming elections. Of course, they would need the fund to manage the elections.
But have you sat and thought at the traffic lights while waiting for your turn, where in the world that the parties campaigning for this election, get their money? You can just see huge banners, posters, flags almost everywhere. To have them, you need to have money. And of course someone need to go and paste or hang them at the designated areas. You will need to pay his salary too. I would wonder where in the world that this group of people get the money? Just imagine allocating similar amount of money to NGO's, Welfare Organizations and desperate poor people who really needs a shelter on top of their heads, or allocating these amount of money to spearhead a child education to the next level. You could do all these wonders but no. Instead it is wasted on campaigning. What a shame!!!. If indeed you have been a good leader and have been serving your people, you dont need all this crap. This is really a shame.

Accidents On The Road
Recently I read in the newspaper on the success of the Ops Sikap. The number of fatlity incidents on the roads have been reduced. Many are pretty happy with it. I cannot recall the exact numbers but there were more than hundred fatality incidents during the period of watch. By right, we should not be having that many. This is peoples' LIFE. A lot has to do with attitude of people on the road.
We read about the tragedy of the ferry, and the 2 incicents that involved the buses. A lot of hoo-hah in the first few weeks. There were officers from the JPJ and the Traffic Police doing continuous spot checks. It was indeed very surprising too see them doing some work at last but like the malay proverb says<>"Hangat-hangat Tahi Ayam"<>. Similarly it applies to the news that appears in our local newspapers. Until today, I still do not havea clear idea on what are the steps taken to prevent such an incident. We are always very reactive in our actions. which we are extremely good at.
If we take a look at the bus drivers, have we ever wondered why the drivers tend to take the so called energizing pills to keep them going for a few trips? Have we set a good base pay for these drivers as they too have families? Have we checked on their history even before we employ them? What is happening with the so called routine checks that the aged vehicles go through at PUSPAKOM? Similarly it applies to the ferry incident at Pulau Tioman and it makes one to wonder how many of the technicians that works at the ports are qualified technicians and know what to do in the event of an accident? Can you just imagine this taking place with one of the ferries at Penang?
Just wait and lets wait and lets wait for another incident to take place before we start at what we are good at<>finger pointing and jumping and creating hoo-hah again.....nothing strange about that right?

Teaching The Young To Be Discipline
I read an article written by a parent as well as a teacher. I kind of agree with him. He is questioning on where our education policy is being routed to? To tell you the truth, I have no idea my self. Everytime, someone new comes in as a Minister or DG in the education department or even as a principal/headmaster in a new school, things change according to his interest. There is no continuity at all. This actually makes the entire system that we have in a mess. Who is going to get the blame? Of course, who else can we blame as parents, our fingers will directly point to the teachers. A pity lot they are for the screw up done by the higher people within the system it self.
Lets take a look at the discipline in school.. There is no authority at all for teachers to punish the students. Of course if teachers go overboard, then we will be angry. Common, we use to have detention classes those days back in the 70's and 80's. If you tell your parents you need to go for detention classes, then you get a few strokes of rotan or belt first. Then you can go to the detention class. Today, if teachers scold the students, or ask them to wash the toilets, or ask them to stand up on the chairs, the entire community will come up to the teachers. But you cannot blame the parents too, coz we need to understand how these teachers were selected. Any tom, dick or harry can be a teacher now coz we are having limited teachers.
So, is it a surprised then our country is being turned into a hooliganism country? Not a surprise right. You can see all kind of harassment, be it at work, school, or even as you walk down the street.
We should go for the correct selection process. Then we should give teachers some authority to discipline the children. Remember, children spent more time in school then in their own house. We must educate the children on what is right and what is wrong from the young. They can have all the money that they want, but what is the point if they have no self-respect for themselves?
Education is not merely passing the exams with straight 'A's which I have serious doubts. If the teachers are so good, then they should be posted to interior schools for 2 years at least and bring up the standards in that school as well as to train up the other teachers to be as good as them. My Goodness grace, how can a student score 13A's for SPM? I really wonder if they mistakenly typed Standard 6 questions for a form five level or were the exam papers somehow leaked? These are some of the questions that keeps on playing in my mind. Some students are naturally good. No doubt on that. But what makes me to question these people are, as they go into Universities, and when they come out to work, you should actually see how the converse in English. Huhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Enough said. Hope to hear comments....
