SAM IS STILL RELEVANT

BERITA Harian Sports Writer Ahmad Khawari Isa became the President of the Sports Writers Association of Malaysia (SAM), replacing TV3 Sports Editor Bakar Atan who did not seek contest.

Star’s Eric Samuel gained 24 votes while Asan Ahmad of Kosmo gained 33 votes to become SAM’s Vice President. While incumbent Hj Alimi Wan gained 23 votes.

On May 31st, 2010 the AGM will be held and a fresh elections will be conducted by the new committee.

Bakar in his speech clearly showed his disappointment by saying that many SAM members are all talk but no action which happens to be the truth as in most cases committee members only talk but shy away from carrying out responsibilities.

Being a SAM member is only a contribution that one makes to enchance the association that was formed in 1984. I have seen people like Johnson Fernandez and Datuk Fauzi Omar working relentlessly and yet they did not benefit anything out of it.

Bakar is right in saying that, “Being a president comes with heavy responsibilities and commitment”. Some people gunned Bakar down in a very hurtful manner but then again why does Bakar have to take all the blame ? Aren’t members to share the responsibility as well ?

Firstly, Khawari has to unite all members and make it more Malaysian. A committee comprising of all races, a One Malaysia.

I was there to witness the election, sadly only 44 people turned up. Are there only 44 people active in SAM as compared to the 450 members of SAM ?.

The new exco must ensure that SAM moves to the next level, a level that brings members from all walks life together.

I am sure where there is will, they is a way.

  4. Ane, Blog sukan selalunya jarang kita dengar ada khabar angin dan fitnah. Kalau anda nak result rasmi, pi la tanya orang-orang tingkat 3 FAM.

    Ref yang dimaksudkan tu sebenarnya dah banyak kali memalukan nama Malaysia. Tahun ni pernah kantoi fitness yang diconduct oleh AFC. TApi FAM masih hantar ke Vietnam dan China serta benarkan buat Liga Super walaupun terbukti tak fit kerana tak pass fitness.

    Di Stadium Cheras pada 12 Ogos 2009 lebih kurang jam 9.32 pagi, dia kantoi lagi pada fitness Malaysia Cup. Tapi malamnya, buat juga game Malaysia lwn Kenya.

    Sabtu Lepas, buat lagi game lawan China pulak.

    Macam ni la ane.... you toksah sibuk2 tulis pasal hal unit pengadil ni. You duduk diam2 sudah. Jangan buang masa layan karenah unit pengadil FAM ni. You tiru macam referee committee FAm skrg, dia org sikit pun takmo buka mulut sebab dah malas dan takde kesan selagi FAM diperintah oleh 'orang itu'.

    Cuma yg kita bimbang, ketidaktelusan FAM ini jika diketahui oleh FIFA, mungkin akan menjejaskan peluang Subkidin untuk beraksi di world cup kelak. Siapa yang rugi?

  5. Raj, tak perlu minta bukti. Blog sukan bukan tempat menabur fitnah.
    Fitness sebagai persiapan untuk Msia Cup di Lumut pada 1 Ogos 2009 memperlihatkan 6 orang gagal.

    Mereka yang tidak lari di Lumut dikehendaki lari pada 12 Ogos 2009 dan ini termasuklah ref yang anda maksudkan. Beliau telah gagal bersama-sama 4 orang lagi ref.

    Yang menjadi tanda tanya, pada sebelah malamnya, beliau dilantik bertugas ketika Malaysia menentang Kenya (lihat gambar beliau dlm web FAM). Pada 15 Ogos 2009 pula, sekali lagi beliau dilantik semasa menentang China.

    Apa keistemewaan beliau sehingga menjadi begitu kebal atau FAM yang bebal?

  6. Unit Pengadil FAM telah banyak merosakkan pengadil-pengadil itu sendiri. Mungkin selepas ini, ada yang akan mengambil mudah tentang tahap kecergasan tanpa perlu menjalani latihan kerana walaupun gagal, masih dilantik mengadili perlawanan.

    Raj, you tolong siasat dengarnya pengadil juga telah digula-gulakan dengan 'wang ringgit" kerana sebelum ini, tuntutan semasa menjalani seminar atau datang fitness test, hanya boleh claim tambah bas MARA. tetapi sekarang kami dibayar mileage.

    Tidakkah perkara yang melibatkan jumlah kewangan yang besar itu memerlukan kelulusan Jawatankuasa Kewangan terlebih dahulu seperti yang dipraktikkan sebelum ini? Atau cukup sekadar kelulusan dari Setiausaha Agung atas nasihat ketua unit pengadil?

  7. Aney,

    Lu tolong tanya la sama itu apek - Dato Chin Ann - Timbalan Pengerusi Pengadil atau YBM Dato Raja Ahmad - yg baru kena lantik sebagai Pengerusi Pengadil. Itu pun Fam mau sorok ke? announce la? Gua rasa lu reporter yg bagus !!!! mEsti u mau tulis ini story punya. Lu ingat dulu itu HOD bantai sampai Khawari tak ada action sama dia. Dulu dia lantik juga itu budak Ros sdgkan dia fail itu AFC punya fitnes. Dia antar itu budak ke luar negara, vietnam, china, itu pun GS kata ok. APa dia org ingat semua referee tak ade otak ke?
    Aney, lu tu tengok itu gambar dekat FAM punya web. MAS vs Kenya - pagi fail fitnes mlm buat game. apa guna lain org lulus tapi game pun tak dapat,
