Surat kepada SHEB

Tengku,

Dari sehari sehari saya nak tulis artikel nie tapi sebab sibuk tak dpt nak luang masa.Izinkan saya untuk memuat naik artikel saya di blog http://azmirhusni.blogspot.com

Saya sejak dahulu dari sudut hati kecil nie, nakkan UMNO atau sesiapa pun memperjuangkan masyarakat Melayu di Bandar. Kini saya sangat gembira apabila "abang" saya sendiri memikul amanah berat ini. Syabas Tengku!!

ok,sebab yang nyata pada pandangan saya mengapa ada perlunya pembelaan untuk penduduk2 di bandar adalah seperti berikut:

1) Sudah lama kebajikan ataupun isu bandar ini kurang diambil perhatian oleh pihak yang berkuasa. Yang paling tinggi pun suatu masa dahulu kita hanya boleh adukan kepada DBKL. Seingat saya sejak tahun 70'an Kementerian Wilayah ada diwujudkan tapi dibubarkan selepas itu. Pada era Tun Abdullah, Kementerian ini diwujudkan semula. Ini tanda jelas bahawa kerajaan sudah mula nampak untuk memperjuangkan nasib kawan2 kita yang tinggal dibandar.Bukan juga saya nak menidakkan yang UMNO bahagian di KL nie tidak main peranan, tapi yerlah kita faham bahawa DBKL hanya sebuah badan kerajaan yang mempunyai peranan dan skop kerja yang terhad bagi menampung keperluan2 penduduk bandar yang semakin hari semakin banyak.

2)Kalau Tengku sedar, dalam PRU12 tempoh hari, kebanyakkan peralihan undi adalah sebabkan oleh kawan2 kita yang tinggal dibandar dan apabila pulang ketempat asal mereka mempengaruhi orang kampung mereka untuk mengundi pembangkang. Mungkin saya salah tapi inilah tafsiran saya setakat yang saya mampu. Dakwaan mereka org kampung ini ada juga benarnya. Kata mereka orang bandar sendiri pun kini hidup susah, bagaimana pula nasib kami kampung yang serba kekurangan ini???. Walaupun pada saya tidak semestinya penduduk kampung itu akan merasa susah sekiranya kawan2 mereka dibandar sudah susah....tak semestinya!!!...inilah sebabnya kita hilang undi penduduk luar bandar dek cerita-ceriti serta masalah dan masaelah dari kawan2 yang tinggal dibandar.

Sehubungan dengan itu, bila saya mendapati Tengku dengan aktifnya menjayakan pelbagai program SHEB ini, saya amat bersyukur pada ilahi kerana akhirnya ditunaikan juga permintaan saya walaupun tidak pernah memberitahu sesiapa pun mengenainya sehingga saat ini.

Syabas SHEB..teruskan usaha anda memperjuagkan nasib kaum melayu dibandar.

Malaysia Vs Man Utd

I did not have the opportunity to watch this game but from the reports, we can see that Malaysians can play some football against one of the best club in the world. I also noticed that the crowd was enormous. Some said the attendance were more than 80 000 in the forth largest stadium in the world (Bukit Jalil).

I still remember in 1990, when our national team took on the English team at Stadium Merdeka. At that time they are having Gary Lineker and John Barnes on their side. Not to forget David Platt from Aston Villa. A lot of talks and gossips took place on how the English goalkeeper would occupy his time during the game....some even suggested him to bring along a book to read if he feels bored and if the opponent could not even reached his penalty box! Surprisingly the score ended at 4-2 and the 2goal was scored by a Sabahan lethal striker Matlan Marjan. I was very proud at that time as part of my wishful thinking materialized..:-)

This time around we have Amri Yahyah proving that sometime Malaysians can play some football again. Yeah, we lost. But this should just not stop here. We should have back the believed that one day we could also winning games at international tournaments.

Last but not least, I would like to post here a quote from Mr. Bora Milutinovic, a coach who helped so many countries qualify for their first world cup tournament. He said that "one of the factors that brought success to the national team is how the people have "passion" in their football. I could not agree more......

Malaysian Football is U-turning to Semi-Pro????

Kembali ke kancah semi pro?

Oleh sayed hesham idrishesham.idris@utusan.com.my

KUALA LUMPUR - Kembali ke semi pro? Itu antara format yang mungkin disaksikan dalam liga bola sepak tempatan musim depan bagi mengatasi masalah kewangan yang kerap dialami persatuan bola sepak negeri dan kelab.
Cadangan itu antara yang bakal dipertimbangkan oleh Jawatankuasa Pertandingan Tempatan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) setelah Presiden FAM, Sultan Ahmad Shah mahu struktur Liga Malaysia diubah musim depan.

I'm not amazed that FAM is considering to go with the Semi-pro league for our local football team. I think this is because of several reasons. The most important reason is that we didn't have the STRONG FINANCIAL back-up for the team to progress. Often we heard the management failed to pay thier players accordingly. How can you aspect the players to be professional when the main managemant is doing a monkey business??

Secondly, the sorry state of Malaysian football is still worsening from day to day. The performance is not improving and it actually going no where. Many countries when they shifted to professional league, their national football improved, but unlike in Malaysia it went the other way round.

As such, i would like to support the FAm motion to go with Semi-pro league as the Malay proverb used to said "Kalau sesat jalan, Kembalilah ke pangkal Jalan. So, in this case, i think it is ok to turn to semi-pro next year....cheers
