We noted our new year gift was Misbun Sidek's resignation and P.Arivalagan's sacking.
The sports Minister, Datuk Sabery Chik immediately became the middle man between Misbun and BAM. They were really wanting to get him back to the team. One of the reason was, Datuk Lee and several other national players were threatening of quiting national team and following Misbun's footstep to Nusa Mashuri.
On the other hand, P.Arivalagan's coaching contract was not renewed and the association is planning to hire foreign coach. Under Arivalagan's tenure as coach, Malaysia became overall Asian champions in 2007, best performer behind Japan in Asian Games and best in Southeast Asia for several Sea Games. He is one of the coach whom really follows "1 Malaysia" concept where you can see all the races in the team (Malay, Indian, Chinese).
I realise that for President of Malaysian Karate Federation (MAKAF), don't even know ABC about karate. He got elected as President because he is in UMNO and Chief Minister of a state in West Malaysia. His agenda, is to swindle more money by hiring foreign coaches. The athletes itself has boycotted the training and they really want Arivalagan as the coach.
But our MSN Director, Zolkeples "Sombong", said that athletes got no rights to choose coach. Their job is only to train. The ministry doesn't even bother to interfere and MSN will only talk to the president of MAKAF and not to be the middle person.
What the heck? Why double standard?
