YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afat Interview with The Star

The Star has agreed to feature a series of six interviews with YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar, President of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) and IOC Member, on OCM as well as sports development in Malaysia. The first interview was published in The Star on Thursday, 19th August 2010. The interview was carried out by Ms. Rajes Paul. A brief summary of the important matters brought up by the President of OCM in the interview are shown below:-

On the role of the National Sports Council (NSC), YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar, stated that government established NSC to support sports in the country, mostly by providing funds and not to run sport. As such, he advised the national sports associations (NSAs) to establish an agreement with NSC as to what exactly the government wants in return for the money invested in them (NSAs). He added that NSAs are totally responsible and accountable for the success and failures of their athletes.

On Autonomy, the President of OCM stated that NSAs should be allowed to do what they need to do to ensure their athletes achieve success. At the same time autonomy does not mean that the NSAs could do as they like and spend government’s money without showing any accountability. As such, he stressed the importance for NSAs to have a close working relationship with the NSC.

On whether a NSA could stand on its own feet and survive in Malaysia, YAM Tunku Tan Sri Imran ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar, said that financial independence strengthened the independent voice of sport, which underlined the independence of the NSAs. He added that some NSAs were too dependent on NSC for funds and as such, sometimes, they were in no position to decide on matters on their own. He felt that NSAs are too dependent on only one source of income (NSC) and hoped that they would look for more sources of income in order to be more independent.

On the role of OCM when an athlete felt that he/she was being unfairly treated by his/her NSA, the President of OCM stated that OCM has a dispute resolution process and that OCM would be happy to assist any athlete or member to settle their grievances through mediation or arbitration.

On how effective is OCM’s role in solving issues between athletes and their NSAs, YAM Tunku Imran ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar said that OCM could establish all the rules and code of ethics, but unfortunately OCM has no way to enforce the rules, but could only offer advice.

On the question of whether there is anyone bigger than sports, the President of OCM stated that there would be not issues if everyone knew his/her role. He stressed on the importance of volunteers as without them, the Country would have to spend billions to develop sport. As such he felt that volunteers must be given due respect, for sacrificing their time and money for sport, with their only reward being the feelings that they have done well. He expressed his admiration for the volunteers, and felt that due to a couple of bad apples, it was unfair to blame all volunteers as the cause of the drop in standard of sport in Malaysia.

Celoteh Kepten Shafari - SELAMAT BERPUASA & THE NEW EPL SEASON

Captain Shafari

Salam to all,

To all Muslims... Selamat mengerjakan ibadah puasa beginning from this Wed or Thurs.

And all the nice and good things are back again...terawihs, preparing and breaking of fast, sahors and the empty tummies. To be frank... at times I am looking forward for this fastings especially when I was having a family... my kids were growing then and their daily anticipation and characters made me to go all over again. They would ask how long more to the breaking of fast... and will they die of hunger and etc etc... just very interesting. I am missing all those days. But now... I am alone... and breaking of fast is just nothing. I'll have my sahor at 1 am and at times I am going to give it a miss.... so tiada apa-apa yang menyeronokkan... but then again... this fasting is part of fullfilling the mandatory requirement of Islam... a must thing... and therefore it should not be taken lightly or with fun. Selamat berpuasa.

Razlin... can I have a date with you for berbuka puasa? Only you and I. Please....

Then Hari Raya.... ahhh..... and this year, the damage to my wallet wont be that teruk cos 2 of my 3 kids are working now. Yeah... lesser burden. But still the 3rd will ask for a bigger budget. Anak-anak zaman sekarang.... they'll have their way to kow-tow their parents into giving what they really want.

New season of EPL? Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Chelsea lost to MU in the Charity Sheild last nite. MU Boleh!! But just to control my BP... I am going to support Fulham this season. I want Mark Hughes to tell the world that his sacking from Manchester City is a gain to Fulham. Foolham Boleh!! And my enemy no. 1 is still the elder brother of Foolham... i.e. Liverfool. I hate Liverfool more this season cos of the migration of Roy Hodgson.... and the ever misguided fans of the"Never Walk alone" club.

I hope Manchester City would not flop again and maybe Newcastle is a team to watch but then the story line would almost be identical as last season... MU, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham are to be the front leaders.

So I heard that XXX is allocating 40 seats for Famemas members to go to Ghoungzhou Asian games? Well.. a very good news then. It would be better if food, accomodation and transportation are sponsored too. Then kita semua membawa badan, semangat dan suara saja. Alang kah bagus nya... right?? Hope our hardworking EXCOs are working hard for that. And we should all play a part in making the trip a reality. Hidup Famemas!!

Razlin, why dont you try horse riding pulak as many of the diving heavens are out of bounds caused by the change of climate? They is 1 in Taman Equine, Sri Kembangan or there is another in Kuang. To me... naik kuda fan fare pun jadi lah....

Ok guys... I am just letting off my Monday blues. Hope to meet you all 1 of these days... especially Lilian with her Hoon junior.

Ok bye... and take care.

capt... To Si Dia... selamat berpuasa. mungkin kita boleh berbuka di NZ.

FAMEMAS: TAHNIAH NICOL, AZLAN & MALAYSIA DAN ASIA GAMES GUANGZHOU

Tahniah buat Nicol & Azlan. Juga Tahniah buat Pasukan Bolasepak Malaysia Bawah 23 Tahun.

Pada 25 Julai lepas, itulah pertama kali saya ke stadium Bukit Jalil menonton Bolasepak perlawanan yang melibatkan Malaysia setelah sekian lama tidak berbuat demikian akibat kemerosotan permainan pasukan kita.

Hari itu hati ini tergerak untuk melihat semula pasukan kita bermain. Tanpa menghiraukan samada tiket masih ada atau tidak di tambah pula dengan hujan lebat sepanjang perjalanan ke stadium, saya pergi bersama anak lelaki saya yang berusia 9 tahun.

Akhirnya, saya sampai ke stadium dengan hujan renyai yang masih turun, saya berlari menuju ke bahagian jualan tiket. Dapat juga saya membeli tiket dan dapat menyaksikan perlawanan yang melibatkan malaysia.

Syabas!!! pasukan Malaysia yang bermain cemerlang hingga dapat menundukkan pasukan Olimpik Korea Selatan dengan 1-0 walaupun kadangkala terdapat kepincangan yang mendebarkan penonton yang hadir. Tetapi dilihat bahawa pasukan Malaysia dapat menyerap tekanan dan asakan dari musuh dengan cepat lalu dapat menghasilkan gol kemenangan.

Tahniah sekali lagi. Tidak lupa juga tahniah kepada pasukan sorak (Famemas) yang saya rasa duduk di bahagian hujung kanan stadium yang menyemarakkan lagi suasana stadium. Bila terdengar sorakan serta paluan muzik dari hujung stadium baru saya teringat bahawa saya adalah ahli famemas.

Itulah semangat yang kita mahu. Pasukan Malaysia memerah tenaga untuk kemenangan, pasukan sorak memerah suara tanda sokongan. Walaupun saya tidak dapat bersorak bersama dengan kumpulan penyokong tetapi saya tetap bersorak bersama-sama penonton lain sebagai sokongan kepada pasukan kita.

Sebagai sokongan kepada pasukan sorak Famemas, saya memohon agar maklumat perlawanan melibatkan Malaysia terutama bagi perlawanan Bolasepak, Badminton dan bola tampar pendekkata asalkan melibatkan pasukan Malaysia mohon makluman dari pihak tuan agar jika ada kelapangan dapat saya bersama pasukan sorak FAMEMAS menghangatkan lagi gelanggang pertandingan seperti mana saya pernah bersama di perlawanan Piala Thomas dipertandingan separuh akhir antara Malaysia Vs China.

Salam 1 Malaysia.
