Will Chong Wei deliver a Merdeka Gift ?
We have been waiting for so long to find a world champion in badminton. That dream would be resolved today when Lee Chong Wei meets Chen Long from China to determine the world championship title.This is the 3rd finals for Lee.
Though, people said there was no lin dan, so it's easy for him, but im sure, Chen Long is also eyeing for the glory as he needs to sustain his position in Chinese team for Asian Games
It will be a perfect Merdeka Day gift for Malaysia, if Lee could nail the game. Let's wait and see.

Malaysia Airlines to be killed and be given rebirth
Khazanah Nasional has given 12 point plans for the national carrier to have new image and come out from red.
First of all, the current company, MAS will be delisted in December 2014.
2. New company will be formed and expected listing will be b December 2017
3. RM6 billion has been estimated to revive the airlines
4. 30% or 6,000 staffs will be given Voluntary retirement scheme or layed off.
5. New management will be introduced in 2015. Ahmad Jauhari will be the CEO will June 2015
6. The middle management will be strengthen
7. The airlines to become a premium airlines (similar to ethihad and emirates)
8. Cost efficient measures to be introduced
many more.
I just feel, this measures could have been taken way before, rather than doing it now. Especially, on number of staff, should have been given more focus, to ensure the staff are doing their job right and whether the task need the right number of staff strength.
In addition, We are challenged by Air Asia and Malindo and sometimes, Tiger and Cebu for low cost flights. But MAS focus should be to challenge Emirates, Qatar and SIA.
For employees, I'm sure, some or many looking for MSS or VSS. It would be a good return for short term, especially, those whom are reaching towards retirement age.
Nevertheless, for staff whom are going to continue to work under restructuring process, it will be a good learning point which will become their selling point.
I hope the curse to the airlines will end this year.

Chatime Jalan Ipoh
It's my normal place to by the beverage there. Today, there was extraordinary crowd due to a group of school students. Thus, I had to wait like 15 minutes.
I was fine with waiting time. But the agony started after that. Normally, they will call the number or type it into the Que management system. Today, they didn't do that. So after 15 minutes, I went to the counter straight and waited there. I had strong suspect that they were serving the customers after me. It was true as my number was 23 and they served number 24.
Suddenly the waitress girl with speck asked me, "Can I have your receipt". I replied, I'm waiting here long". She just gave me the drink and say Thank you with harsh manner.
I just don't understand, I'm not buying the drink for free or I'm begging for your drink. Why cant you be more polite.
Next, can't you apologize for your mistake done. I know you are in your early 20s, but why are you so bloody egoistic or Kiasu.
Now it makes me to think twice before buying drink from that shop if this kind of service being provided, or maybe it's fine for youngsters aged below 25 years for such situation but if this were to continue, the civil sense among Klang valley people is just deteriorating.

Analysis of Malaysian Athletes at Glasgow 2014
It took me sometime to do this analysis as I needed time to digest the poor performance of the National contingent. My previous commonwealth games analysis:
http://forzameyya.blogspot.com/2010/10/analysis-of-malaysian-athletes-at-delhi.html
Athletics
Though the powerhouse like Jamaica, Kenya, England and Australia were no match to Malaysia, the expectation was aleast to create national records. With small team of 5 members ( 4 Field and 1 track), we could only be the back benchers on all the event by finishing last or 2nc last in the qualifiying. Something seriously need to be done, else, we will be not even on world map for athletics.
Verdict : Below expectation
Badminton
This sports always been our gold mine. We expected 3 golds and other of various colors. But we ended with only 3 gold medals. The mos disappointing moment, when we never had a men singles representative for 1st time since 1990. It was healed by surprise gold medal from women doubles whom beat the Singaporeans and Indians to en route for the success. As expected the other gold medal was delivered by mixed team and men doubles. We could have added more bronze through women singles, doubles and mixed doubles but due to poor time arrangement where semifinals and 3rd placing was scheduled on the same day and our player, Tan Pei Jing had to play 4 matches on same day.
We cant rest our laurels as team like Singapore and India is narrowing the gap. So, we need to get back our name as powerhouse.
Verdict : Meet expectation
Boxing
We had 5 representative, but no medals were shown. We continued our empty hand return. The least we could go was quarterfinals. Next Sapok Biki is still waiting.
Verdict :Below expectation
Cycling
As usual Nurul Fateha, Azizul and Josiah was leading the contingent to deliver gold but we only ended with bronze. Worse case, the road race finished empty handed. Thus there were no gold medal show from them.
Verdict :Below expectation
Weightlifting
They delivered 1 gold medal and 1 silver. It's what expected from them and they made it. Poorly, no shows from our ladies.
Verdict : Meet expectation
Lawn Bowl
This was really a overrated team. When we were expecting 2 gold medals, they only could contribute 2 silver medals. Last round was also the same overconfidence and it repeated. The team was comprised of seasoned players, yet they failed to deliver.
Verdict :Below expectation
Diving
All attention was on Pandelela Rinong, but she could only dive for a silver. Final minute switch of pairs, made blunder when both the ladies pair fail to deliver gold lining. Surprise gold medal came from Sze Liang. Compared to previous games, now we went in as favorites. But no gold splash from ladies.
Verdict :Below expectation
Swimming
We didn't expect medals from them, but some national records, but even that was not meet. We cant be using the same reason as going for exposure, else we would be just sinking into the pool again.
Verdict :Below expectation
Hockey
We didn't expect a medal from them, but at least top 6 would have been better. But they went and lost to minnows T&T. Finally finished at 7th. For ladies, 7th is good enough but definitely not for men. We cant be performing like school boys and being a laughing matter.
Verdict :Below expectation
Squash
When Nicol was expected to deliver gold medal, we expected another from doubles, but we just could not communicate each other. dark horses, India, grabbed the ladies gold medal. 4 years from now, we cant expect Nicol's service. We need Wee Wern or delia to deliver. Are they ready for it?
Verdict :Below expectation
Shooting
Another overrated team. They fired blank when they were expected to deliver 2 gold medals. Half of the team was in the previous Commonwealth Games squad. Some of them are in forces and military yet, they cant shoot accurately. How are they going to catch the thieves?
Verdict :Below expectation
Artistic Gymnastics
Farah Ann Abd Hadi was in previous team, yet she and her team could not land at proper place. The team finished empty handed.
Verdict :Below expectation
Rhythmic Gymnastics
1 silver and 2 bronze was the only medals to be delivered by our angels. The team was relatively new to the arena, yet they gave a tough fight to Canada, Australia and England.
Verdict :Meet expectation
Table Tennis
Singapore always the hurdle with their imported players. But our ladies still manage to enter finals for team event. We could only rely on old lady Lee Wei to drive the team.
Verdict :Meet expectation
Rugby
Same story as last games, we finished bottom rock. I feel these players are just going to finish rock bottom forever.
Verdict :Below expectation
Overall:
Target - 7 Gold medals
Achieved - 6 Gold medals
Verdict: Below Expectations
I don't know what else to write, as we performed badly this round. Of course Singapore finished ahead of us with help of forein players. But, we cant use that reason anymore. We just fail to deliver in certain sports i.e shooting, lawn bowl, cycling, diving etc.
Furthermore, some of these athletes were already known that they wont deliver results but we still send them. It looks like they went for holidays. We could be not strong as Australia, Canada, England or New Zealand. But at least we could do our level best in the sports that we are known for.
It's the same Nigeria and Kenya did and they finished above Malaysia. If war torn and poverty countries can perform at this level, why not Malaysia?
Hope, Gold coast trip would not be another holiday trip.

Lee Chong Wei's final chance
The world championship badminton has started. I can still recall last year's finals when Datuk Lee Chong Wei pulled out in 3rd set due to injury and Lin Dan had the sportsmanship to help Datuk Lee.
Malaysia has never won the title. Datuk Lee has been expected to win it this year. Not because, he is prepared or fit for the match but mere reason of absence of Lin Dan.
As player, you should be ready to face anyone on the court or battlefield. In addition, Datuk Lee has lost to Simon Santoso and Chen Long this year. Thus, they are also threat to him. Not forgotten P.Kasyap who won the Commonwealth Games who is pumped to be world beater.
If we say Datuk Lee can win only with absence of Lin Dan , then Lin Dan is still the best player in the world, regardless of the ranking.
