OCM Annual Dinner and Awards Night 2014

The 22nd OCM Annual Dinner and Awards Night was successfully organized on Saturday, 13th December 2014 at 8.00 pm at the Tan Sri Hamzah Arena, Wisma OCM, Kuala Lumpur. The Guest of Honour was YB Encik Khairy Jamaluddin, Minister of Youth and Sports Malaysia. There were around 550 guests, comprising representatives of National Sports Associations, government sports organizations, inductees of OCM Hall of Fame, sponsors and supporters.
Famemas with Tunku Tan Sri Imran.
 In his opening address, YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar, President of OCM stated as follows “The over dependency of most of the NSAs on government funding has reduced their motivation to generate their own income for their own development. Government is the biggest financial contributor to Sport in this country. However, in addition to being the major fund provider of NSAs, MSN has also assumed the role of being the deliverer of elite sport in Malaysia, carrying out the roles and activities that were carried in the past by the NSAs”.
Famemas with YB. Khairy Jamaluddin.
 YAM Tunku then called on the Hon. Minister of Youth and Sports, for MSN to consider handing the baton back to the NSAs, and assume its rightful role of being the facilitator of elite sports and supporter of the NSAs. He felt that such a move would certainly motivate the NSAs to work harder and have a more meaningful contribution to the development of their respective sport.
Table for Famemas.
 YAM Tunku added “I have said many times in the past. The buck stops with the NSA’s. They are responsible for all successes and failures in their sport.” He then appealed to the Ministry of Youth and Sport to divert some of the Government’s funds to build up the capacity of the NSA’s is of the utmost urgency in order to prevent a serious deterioration in sports in the country.
Famemas Exco.
Hon. Encik Khairy Jamaluddin, the Minister of Youth and Sports, in his speech said that it is his vision to make Malaysia a strong sporting nation. He added that no strong sporting nation practiced a centralized system of sports development, except in communist countries and as such, he was prepared to reduce the role of MSN and pass back the powers to the National Sports Associations and the State Sports Associations. He called on all stake-holders of sport to work together and with him, to bring sports development in Malaysia to a higher level. The Minister stated “It is important to look forward and see what can we do over the next 4 years...let us work together!”.

Hooliganism?!

I was seated a row below those two Vietnamese girls with Tok Mo. That was because the Malaysian supporters sections were all filled to the brim. After the rain started I moved to the upper terraces to protect myself from the rain. But the section of 1000 Vietnamese supporters didnt move.
Mr. Lee & TokMo
That was when the commotion started and a few Malaysian supporters started attacking the Vietnamese group. Water bottles were thrown at the area when Tok Mo and I were once seated. Some supporters from both sides started running away. FRU officials moved in to keep order.
Shame on the few soccer hooligans who mar Msia image at Vietnam game. Now we can expect same reception at MyDinh Stadium for 11 Dec return game...
After the match, a small fire was lit which was quickly put off. Supporters stayed behind the stadium and continued chanting. Some cracker missiles were fired into the air.
TheVietnamese Supporters did provoke us by showing the middle finger... and the way they danded... as claimed by some friend who were there.
It was a sad nite for Malaysian soccer. We thought English hooliganism happened far far away but this time, it happened in our shores...

Celoteh Captain Shafari - Si Dia 2 Part 2

My jogging today was cut short due to the heavy downpour. Target was to run 7 rounds Oasis Square but God has a better plan. Got to stop after 3 laps. 

Hey.. I am back into serious running. Last week I ran 7 km and by 1 Jan, my aim is to run 10 km within 70 minutes. So you guys who have been running...better look over your shoulder... I could be just a step behind you. 

Terengganu is getting the brunt of the monsoon. Floods were every where. But then... in the East Coast, they take floods as a fiesta.. but not in Klang Valley where it is considered as a disaster.
Captain Shafari.
This DLCW case is no more a hot topic...sudah berkurangan. However I got something that I should share with you all. It was during the Malaysian Gold Open last year where DLCW was facing Tommy Sugiarto in the finals MS. Before the match, I overheard someone right behind me telling that it would be 16 16. “Aiyah ini game Tommy kena 16 16 lah”. It was true that in the 1 set, DLCW won 21-16. OMG! I was sitting with a few Famemas members in KLBA.. and very near to Wong Mew Choo. She seemed not to concentrate on the match but was busy talking over the handphone... non stop. 

Well.. I was telling myself, if my spouse were to battle it out in the court, then I would be sitting at the edge of the seat. But not WMChoo. She was very composed and kept on talking over her handphone. DLCW would always glance/ took a look at WMChoo. To me... wow.. DLCW ni jeles orang nya. Then the game ended at 21-17 in DLCW’s favour. And the 17th point that Tommy got was a simple mistake made by DLCW when his net play tersangkut/terkandas. So guys... 21-16 and 21-17. The chinaman who had told 16 16.. could have made some good money. haha.. this is my story only.. ok. Could be coincident.
Mana satu Si Dia 2?
There is something positive when Si Dia 2 tak layan my advances on her. I took running seriously cos I think she didnt like my pot belly...but then mana ada awek muda dan cun pula yang suka kat orang tua macam saya kan? Rambut dah putih... dan drive Saga with company’s logo...where got standard huh... 

Its is Ok... it is alright, come on Captain... fight! fight! fight! 

Oh yeah... fighting a losing game. Tak ada guna nya.... It is not that I am giving up but I took it as a challenge... a positive one. So what if Si Dia 2 tak mahu. I must “reinvent” my self and make myself to be proud of me. hahaha .... tu dia, semangat bergelora tu. 

Actually I do feel lonely at times. and terjumpa Si Dia 2 tu was at a time when I really need someone...and returning back from Incheon after 7 hectic days of shoutings and being with good companions... yeah... she came into me. As I have said...she is like a photocopy of Si Dia 1. And I told myself after Si Dia 1 sudah kahwin... the next Si Dia.. I will not hesitate to “lock herself in my heart’. hahah it sounds macam cerita HIndi,,, but it is true.. I told myself that... and I would not waste anymore time.. must confess cepat cepat so that either one tak terluka. Tapi now.. saya juga yang terluka.. padan muka right. Kalau Si Dia 1 yang baca ni... she’ll say “Served you right Capt”. Oh.. I wished I could hear her voice now. 

Ooh... sudah lewat... got to go to dobhy, ambil pakaian.. and Saturday, my big family (siblings, in laws, nephews and nieces) will be traveling to Mata Air Perlis to attend the wedding of my nephew and Malaysian cycling coach, Harnizam Basri. 

Till next time... adios guys..

Celoteh Captain Shafari - Si Dia 2?

Sudah lama tak berceloteh. Entahlah.... may be out of respect for someone dearest to you kahwin dengan orang lain, may be too that I have lost the jest to write or for what ever reasons ... I just do not know. I think I stopped just after Si Dia nikah

I am back now. Whether lama atau sekejap, only the Mighty God knows better. Yes... some of you had told that they missed my celoteh... but many of you tiada apa apa right? Life goes on..... 

I had a wonderful trip with 14 others for the Asian Games in Seoul and Incheon. I would say, this trip was a little better than the Ho Chih Min trip. This was well organised and at Asian level, we did go to many venues and witnessed/watched many games and sports. Though there were some misunderstandings but at the end, the team spirit won the day. Oh yeah... halal food was never easy... we starved a few number of times. Lunch was tidbits and sandwiches. But I respect the non muslims in our group... they too got to "puasa"...
Captain Shafari.
I would like to recommend that 2 members are not fit to join our group for the next outings.... they just do not posses the team spirit, find faults, be individualistic... and have the impression that "I am more important that the group". hehehehe siapa makan cili, dia terasa pedas.. This is only my personal view. 

Then about me. I missed the Guangzhou Asian Games and the trip to Myanmar Sea Games. The last I went was in 2011 for the Jakarta Sea Games. Though in between 2011 and Incheon Asian games I did go abroad on a few occasions with groups of different people but still I liked most is whenever I go with Famemas members. Difficult to explain as we were "tortured" to go from one venue to another, to cheer from one game to another.. and we just do not have the time to relax or go shopping.. but then I was one happy old man during and after the trip. I think many from the 15 has that feelings too.
Famemas at Hockey Stadium Incheon.
The best thing that happened to me was berjumpa dengan Si Dia 2... almost.... I was like head over heels and it happened just to fast... all within 3 days. May be being lonely for too long...

2 malay girls, K pop tourists, joined our group on the 3rd day onwards. They helped us in getting halal food and good jogging place... along the Han River. It was just normal... nothing happened. Then I realised... she is almost like Si Dia, independent, likes traveling, beautiful, understanding, outgoing and with alot of grey matter and a career lady. And I dreamt of her on our last night in Korea. Wow... but I was still able to control my self...
Mana satu Si Dia 2? heeee......he...
The feelings started when we came back home... and the sudden change from a very hectic daily activities to a "nothing much to do"... then all the imagination keep coming in.... and then like a gust of strong wind.. I was swept away... I felt that I was missing her....... Unlike

Famemas Cheer for Wira Malaysia at Asian Games Inhceon Korea

Famemas Sports Supporters Club members returned to Malaysia after embarking on a 7 - day 5 - night cheer trip to 17th Asian Games in Incheon, Korea to provide moral and vocal support to Team Samsung and other Malaysian athletes.

The 15 - strong supporters group had a hectic schedule cheering at sports as diverse as bowling, badminton, diving, hockey, sepak takraw, rhythmic gymnastics and karate. The trip was made possible by Samsung Malaysia Electronics (M) Sdn Bhd as part of their corporate sports marketing effort, and Samsung being a prestige partner of the Asian Games.

 In line with Incheon Asian Games Organising Committee (IAGOC)’s theme for the Games ‘Diversity shines here’, Famemas supporters lit up the Games with their colourful presence, dressed in white Samsung tshirts, specially designed jackets that sync with Malaysian athletes’ colours and armed with Jalur Gemilang flags, banner, thundersticks, tiger mascots and drums.

Its not only the cheers that provided the highlight of the trip but the interaction between Famemas participants, fellow Malaysians and supporters from other nations that gave the Games a friendly outlook. Famemas supporters were packaged as sports and tourism ambassadors for Malaysia, all in one. Tourism Malaysia badges, souvenirs and flags were also handed out to supporters from other nations.

One of the most exciting and memorable moments for Famemas was when we cheered continuously and vociferously during Malaysia vs Pakistan semifinal hockey match at Seonhok Hockey Stadium, where Malaysia lost 5-6 after a thrilling contest that was decided only after penalty flicks.

The other memorable moment was when we sang Negaraku national anthem twice at karate’s Gyeyang Gymnasium where our exponents Lim Chee Wai and Syakilla Saini Jefri delivered golds for Malaysia in their kata and kumite events respectively.

Its not all work and no play for Famemas participants, as they also embarked on a tour of Seoul Tower and historical Cheong Deok Gung Palace during their free time.

Famemas Club would like to extend its heartfelt appreciation to Samsung Malaysia Electronics (M) Sdn Bhd for the success of our very worthwhile and patriotic mission for our nation. 

Malaysia Boleh! 
Majulah Sukan Untuk Negara!
