Moderate performance in FIH series

While we can be happy Malaysia qualified for the final Olympic qualifiers, nevertheless, we  can expect them to qualify for Olympics should current performance remains.

The recent FIH series, Malaysia finished 2nd behind Canada by loosing with slim margin or 3-2. To make it worse, Malaysia missed 2 penalty stroke, which could have enabled us to win the tournament.

The series had teams whom were ranked lower than Malaysia except for Canada, yet we lost to Italy, draw with China, and beat Wales by 1 goal margin.

The finally
Olympic qualifiers which will offer 7 slots (thanks to Japan as they qualified as host, thus Asian Champion slot is gone), while South Africa will qualify as African Champion, Argentina will qualify as Pan American Champion, Germany will qualify as European Champion and Australia from Ocenia. Thus 5 of the 12 slots are taken.

For the qualifiers, we will have strong line up of Belgium, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, India, South Korea, England, Ireland, Canada.

Looks like Roaland Olthmans service will be continued. They need to buck up or revamp the team, else, they can kiss goodbye to Tokyo.

PH faced 3rd straight defeat

Once beaten, twice shy. Twice beaten, never try. Thrice beaten, go and d**.

Pakatan scumbbed to 3rd defeat to Barisan Nasional. After hard fought at the court, the momentum didnt workout at the ground.

Even with Anwar, Syed Saddiq and other popular politicians meeting people at Rantau, it still didn't workout.

The 1st factor that made the difference was, most people are losing hope on Pakatan Harapan, whom couldn't create a major impact or change for the public. Next, Tok Mat is already popular figure and dont have bad track record in his area.

Moreover, Streram is Klang bound person and rarely been at the territory.

Streram could have won the election, during May 8, as the sentiment towards Pakatan is more, but the rural area still prefers to bullshits by Najib and puteri UMNO team. in addition, UMNO made smart by joining with PAS, which made the Malay votes to swing.

Next stop is Sandakan. PH must win, else, GE 15 would come soon. PH's opponent is MCA whom is really weak. I doubt UMNO or other Sabah party will contest.

Thus, it's a good chance to revive PH image. 

District 51 Table Topics Contest

Not Every Change is an Improvement, but Every Improvement is a Change.

I will never forget this topic in my entire life. 
This had brought me to my maiden District title for Table Topics contest.

Going against 5 other contestants from Penang, Perak and KL, whom were equally competitive and had their own strength/advantages.

I was contestant number 4 and other podium finishers were before me, which I means, I had to miss their speeches.

Upon completion of my speech, I had the crowds applause and cheer, which brought the confidence in me that it was a great conclusion/strong finishing.

It’s my 2nd attempt at District level for Table Topics contest. I went with open mind, just to perform my best regardless of the results, ensure audience enjoy my speech and leave a lasting impression with them.

Success is the ability to move from one failure to another without loss of enthusiasm. – Winston Churchill. I will definitely agree with this. 

Ipoh was the town where I got my maiden District podium 6 years ago and now I got maiden District Table Topics title.

For 14 years, losing at club, area and even at Division level, losing to rookies and youngsters, but, never say never attitude made me to come back and grab my maiden title. 

Those 14 years were my “investments”.

Big thank you to all the well-wishers and moral supports that you have been pouring to me...

And to the great audience , you were awesome.

Title hopes dashed

When Malaysia was hoping to win their maiden Azlan Shah Cup title and the teams which lined up not as juggernauts as Spain, Holland, Germany, Argentina or Australia, yet the title now remains elusive.

While we won the 1st 2 matches against Poland and Japan, we lost the following 2 marches against Indian and South Korea. Now Malaysia will be going against Canada for final group match before facing them again for 3rd place play off.

Malaysia has been to finals for 5 times and ended up as Bridesmaid.

Having Takema as penalty corner coach (specially flown for this tournament) and Ronael Otlhmans as chief coach didn't help the team any further compared to local coaches like Wallace Tan and Stephen Van Huezen.

The management committee is going back to drawing board, which they have been doing always. Only thing, picture is not drawn yet.

So Near yet So far

We were in brink of qualifying for the Asian U-23 Football Championship and it was the last 7 minutes which made the difference.

Malaysia and China were having 6 points each in the group, but China had superior goal differences. Nevertheless, Malaysia was leading 2-1 till 83rd minute till China scored the equalizer and qualified automatically as Group Champions.

Malaysia did had chance to qualify by being on of the 4 best 2nd place winners, nevertheless, countries like Australia, Oman, Iran and Syria were better performers in terms of goal scoring.

It was sad that we could match country like China whom is coached by Gus Hiddink but we couldn't qualify for the tournament.

Division W International Speech & Table Topics Contest 2019

"If at 1st you don't succeed, keep trying. One day you will achieve it"

These words materialised today when I became the champion for the Division Table Topics Contest.

It was my maiden division table topics title after attempting it for the past 14 years. I have achieved 3rd place 3 times and 2nd place 3 times in previous contest, just made me to wonder, when will be achieving the maiden pinnacle.

When most of my junior members are already reached the District level, i was merely lingering at the division level.

But today, it's all been answered. If Jack Elliot achieved his world championship after 25 attempts, I'm still achieve it.

It also completes my Grandslam titles for division contest (International Speech, Evaluation, Humorous Speech, Table Topics).

Going against the 5 other area champions from various backgrounds, made it a close call.

As icing of the cake, it was a double bonanza to win the division international speech contest too.

Now it's time to rock the District contest stage (national level) at Ipoh on 14th April.

I would like to thank my MIA tmc club members whom were there to give me moral support and cheers for my performance.

Now my sons will get new toys to play with. 😊

Un-updated


I was brousing through the MIC website, then realised the Member of Parliament tab was not updated and Sivaraj face was still there.

Guys, please wake up.

MCA and MIC divorce BN

Finally MIC and MCA came out from Barisan Nasional, leaving BN with only 2 parties i.e UMNO and MYPPP. The recent colaboration between UMNO and PAS, and racial remarks by Datuk Seri Nazri on appoinment on non-Malay for cruicial posisitions such as Finance Minister, Attorney General, and Solicitor General.

In addition, Nazri says they have Makkal Sakthi , KIMMA and several other parties to support them to strengthen the party. The question is, how strong are this parties. Even PSM is struggling without support from PH.

Next, we are wondering whom MIC and MCA going to form alliance with. Are they going to create a 3rd force. For most of the people, these 2 parties are no longer relevant. The need leadership shift, especially in MIC.

BN wrested Semenyih from PH

Barisan Nasional tasted their 2nd win and 1st time wresting the title in Semenyih. The fundamental message was, PH was not doing anything or nothing drastic was done for the people.

Fundamentally, people should take note that, the current government only took over less than a year ago. We can't compare them to previous government whom were there for more that 60 years.

Next, BN placed a BN friendly candidate and not a representative from UMNO (although, he could joining them soon). It's the 2nd time they are doing it after Cameron Highlands. It just proves that people still hates racial based party and UMNO' image still not revived.

In addition, their component parties, MIC and MCA is still super weak with only 1 seat each in the Parliament.

Furthermore, the UMNO president has not assume his Presidency post nor resign from the post. The are still running with co-driver i.e Deputy president.

Of course, when Mahathir said, PAS would not interfere but it appears that PAS did assist BN, especially to gain the Malay support.

Next, the winning majority is less than 2K, compared to 9K of previous winner, thus it's still a close fight rather than a landslide victory.

Next battle will be Rantau, and The acting President will be the candidate. Now, PH needs to field a strong candidate, else, it will be a sign of change of wind.

King resign ...Who'll replace


The Yang Di-Pertuan Agong has resigned after hemming the throne for 2 years. No specific reason was given for the resignation. nevertheless, speculations were due to his recent marriage.

Does that mean a King is not allowed to marry. Apparently, he's not allowed to marry a foreigner while he's a King.

Nevertheless, he's the 1st ever King to experience transition between 2 government and he's the 1st King to resign.

Now with the rotational basis, the next King should be Pahang Sultan. however, he's not in good health condition. After him would be Johor Sultan. Johor Sultan, was never the favorite of Mahathir, and if he becomes King, Najib can escape from all his wrong doings.

After Johor sultan, will be Perak Sultan, whom's is Mahathir's favorite. Furthermore, his late father really gell well with Mahathir during his period.

Let's see what happens to the country's leadership..
