Something very fishy is happening in NSC regards to the supply of gym equipments. 17 companies tendered for the job, only three selected but they are all on the high sight of the other companies. The tendered has been suspended for the third time. It is learnt that they are waiting for Datuk Yassin the KSU to retire?
MACC should go in again, the smell is getting very bad !

FAM IS IN A MESS !
FOOTBALL Association of Malaysia (FAM) is in a mess over the sacking of three coaches.
At times, I am not aware if FAM understands the process of sacking a coach, I am quite certain if Azraai, Azman and Mohan sought for justice at the labour court they will be compensated and once again FAM might be unprofessional in dealing with the situation.
If you want to know how its done, ask former national B.Sathianathan who took FAM to labour court which resulted in FAM needing to settle out of court!
First and foremost, all these three coaches were not given any 'show cause' letters or memos' till date. Decisions were purely made based on the interpretations of the committee.
In reality, the FAM technical committee is not qualified to delibrate on the matter as they are unaware in total, of what actually transpired in Slovakia. All information was based on an insider's report and confessions made by the players.
Only two individuals in FAM were involved in this Slovakia plan.
In fact, I have enough proof to say that the FAM exco never met to discuss the reasons for this Slovakia trip before the team departed.
It is learnt that the FAM President Sultan Ahmad Shah, is hurt and upset that once again FAM is blamed for a matter poorly handled.
Is this how an association is run ? Is this how a once reknowned association is being managed ? Shame on you I say ! Some people are only there to manage their very own interests!
If that is the case, then heads must roll. This is not how FAM should operate .
Tomorrow the FAM council meets and i understand that the Sultan is going to make an important shocking announcement. We await the shock with much anticipation.
While other Asian countries have advanced to the world football arena FAM remains crippled and somewhat plagued with unending pointless drama..

SAM'S NEW LEADERSHIP
The new leaders were elected last Saturday through a fair and constitutional election process eventhough one member decided to resign during the election process and labeled SAM with all kind of names . Read here for the interesting description by Rizal Hashim.
SAM is not UMNO, MIC or MCA all the leaders who belong to this party, are given very good packages and rewards but not in SAM. SAM purely takes care the welfare of the members.
When Khawari took over SAM last year, we only had 50 members but today SAM has 145 members and the team is taking a lot of initiative to do more for the members.
My advise to this individual, since you have resigned from SAM tried to cause fraction among the members, why don't you form "Persatuan Cap Ayam" and became it's first President. I am quiet sure many people in the "AYAM" business will join you.
To the new team, JAIHO wishes you all the best ! May the FORCE be with YOU!

TENGKU ABDULLAH IS READY TO MAKE A COMEBACK
Former Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) deputy president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah is expected to make a comeback to the fold after a three-year break.
Tengku Abdullah when expressing his readiness to comeback, said it was an offer (referring to his nomination by affiliates for the deputy president's post) that was so good to refuse.
"It is one offer that I find difficult to say no," said Tengku Abdullah on Sunday.
Tengku Abdullah who first took up the post in Feb 1992, relinquished his post in March 1993 but returned to the fold in Feb 1994 and held the post until he decided to resign in July 2007.
However, Tengku Abdullah added that seven candidates were said to be eyeing for the post.
"I too have been nominated and I feel it is an honour to me. I hope the affiliates will give me their full support so that I can make a comeback," he said.
Tengku Abdullah said football was still in his blood, but if his return would cause a split in the association, he would rather stay away.
The FAM's Annual General Meeting (AGM) on July 31, would also see the election of office bearers for a four-year term from 2010 to 2014.
Posts expected to be contested during the AGM are post of president, deputy president (two posts), vice president (four posts) and eight council members.
FAM secretary-general Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad had earlier said that incumbent President Sultan Ahmad Shah had already given his consent to helm the association.
The two incumbent deputy presidents are Datuk Redzuan Sheikh Ahmad and Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar while Datuk Che Mat Jusoh, Datuk Affandi Hamzah, Ahamad Mohamad and Datuk Gulzar Mohamad were the four vice presidents before Gulzar decided to resign in November last year.
Tengku Abdullah who is the Malaysian Hockey Federation (MHF) president and Royal Malaysian Polo Association, president said his current positions would not prevent him from allocating quality time for his new post.
He added that since hockey was in the right path, it would help him to divert more time to football.

NIKE CUP A GREAT SUCCESS
More than 15, 000 people came together to join in the thrills and spills of the Nike Cup Kuala Lumpur 5 vs 5 Challenge 2010 Grand Finals at Dataran Merdeka today.
Everyone was treated to a carnival-like footballing atmosphere as well as a live concert feast from dusk to dawn.
A total of 360 teams from all over Malaysia locked horns with each other in their pursuit for glory. However, only one team nailed the Grand Prize which is an all-expenses paid trip to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for the once-in-a-lifetime chance to train at Granja Comary, the Brazilian national team’s home.
Enjoy FC were the well-deserved winners after routing Belia Seri Perantau 5-0 in the final.
Meanwhile, Penang outfits SMK Guar Perahu edged out TCK 3-1 in the final of the 14-16 age-group category to earn themselves a three-month training stint with Malaysia’s Brazilian Academy.
Popular Indonesian band, Nidji, spearheaded an array of local superstar acts and entertained the crowd with their onstage energy and persona which had their fans calling for an encore by the end of the show.
Among the local bands were acclaimed Pop Shuvit, One Buck Short, Bunkface as well as Indie music performers in the likes of Pesawat and Forty Winks.
Nike Malaysia Marketing Manager Menaha Nadaraja said Nike has always strived on building a sound platform to work on sports development by conducting numerous youth projects and that with the encouraging signs and response, they would continue with their support.
"I have been with these kids every weekend since the Nike Cup Kuala Lumpur 5 vs 5 Streets Soccer 2010 started on May 22. For young people, sport, play and exercise are vital for optimal growth and learning, and social development. It communicates key messages, bring diverse groups together and teach valuable life skills in a way that is fun and participatory.
“Nike strives to be a leader in the field of sports by transforming the lives of young people.The opportunity to play and train in the Mecca of football – that is Brazil – is one of the dreams for any footballer. So you can imagine how it will touch and light up the life of budding footballer, as the young ones we see here before us.”
“Nike is committed to transforming dreams into reality, and this event is one of the models with which we do that,” said Menaha.
Malaysian national football team chief coach K. Rajagopal praised Nike for the continued contribution towards the country’s development in sports and singled out the brand as example-setters.
“Nike has always shown support for sports in this country from grassroots to the top level. With tourneys such as this Nike Cup, they give youths something to look forward to.
“We have the talents in this country but what we lack is developing these uncut diamonds into true treasures. What Nike has been doing is great and I hope they will continue to help with the country’s sports development with projects like this,” said Rajagopal.
GUAR PERAHU U16 CHAMPIONS
SMK Guar Perahu will refine their skills at the Brazillian Football Academy in Malaysia after clinching the 14-16 age-group title of the Nike Cup Kuala Lumpur 5 vs 5 Challenge 2010 by defeating TCK 3-1 at Dataran Merdeka on Saturday.
Hailing from Penang, the decision by the five boys to make the trip to the city of Kuala Lumpur two month ago was justified.
“When we first heard about the Nike Cup challenge and the prize they offered, we jumped at the chance at once by trying our luck in the first round of the qualifiers at the Bukit Bintang rooftop. And we ended up winners of that as well!” said SMK Guar Perahu skipper Mohammad Firdaus.
“Ever since then, we have been training for the finals by playing on streets. All our efforts have finally paid dividends.”
With the morale-boosting win, Firdaus and his mates were in bouyant mood and looking forward to more such tournaments to showcase their skills once they are done training at the Brazilian Academy.
“We want to improve, and where better than at a renowned soccer school such as the Brazilian Academy? Then, once we are done there, we will take part in more tournaments and hopefully add more silverware to our trophy cabinet!
“We also hope Nike will have this tournament again next year. By then we will be able to qualify for the older category. Then, we can start training and hopefully, earn the right to go to Brazil!” he optimistically proclaimed.

ENJOY FC CHAMPIONS OF NIKE CUP
They entertained the crowd with some fancy footwork and play, whitewashed their opponents and most importantly, Enjoy FC samba-ed their way to Brazil by emerging the winners of the Nike Cup Kuala Lumpur 5 vs 5 Challenge 2010 at Dataran Merdeka.
With a scintillating display of teamwork and passing that even soccer kings Brazilians would have been proud of, Enjoy FC ran riot against Belia Seri Perantau 5-0, in the final.
At the final whistle, Enjoy FC’s players and supporters celebratedthe win which came with a trip to Rio De Janeiro, Brazil for a training stint at the Brazilian national team’s football training camp in Granja Comary.
It took awhile for Enjoy FC’s Captain Marvel Mohd Sheqal Salim and his teammates to digest the magnitude of their feat as it has been a lifelong dream to train in the land of the football gods of Brazil.
"First and foremost, we would like to thank Nike for giving us a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity like this. They helped aspiring footballers like us realise our dreams," said the nippy Mohd Sheqal.
“We talked among ourselves about how awesome it would be to win the tournament. Now, we are on an entirely different planet. But we will snap back to reality and start packing our bags for Brazil the moment we reach home."
All five boys will board the plane for Brazil on August 9 and will be part of a youth training programme for 12 days. They will also take with them RM2,000 worth of Nike products which came with the winning prize.
“No matter what, luck always plays a role. Not everyone will get a chance like this. So, when we come back, we want to share our knowledge and experience with our friends and family. We will teach them the way football should be played...Brazilian style!”
