investment or sheer waste? -Part 2

And the print media has spoken.
Only Chris Sayer of Traxx Fm spoke on a positive tone during his short time on air at 10.05pm last night.
TV3 ran another series in questioning the setting up of the High Performance Centre in Hertfordshire, England and even ran an sms poll, which saw 95% of the supposed Malaysian voters NOT in favour of the centre.
However, the queries of the media is true to a certain extent, why bother speaking about something which the NSC has no clue of what's the next step. And if there were to be plans, why all the secreacy?
Also, how much has been pumped in to racky the place and consult the people wanting the project to kick start? Is it a transit point or a training centre, or merely just a hostel?
So much so now people are starting to question Youth and Sports Minister's Datuk Azalina Othman's 'decision' during her tenure. The investment of the paper Malaysian Today and now this. What's next?
Details below have yet to be answered as well;
1. Why London? No athletes of ours have seen the expertise of a Brit let alone camped there for training.
NSC Answer: Why waste so much of land at the Tun Abdul Razak Research Centre when it could be used for sports as well.
2. Why can't we train in Malaysia and excel?
NSC Answer: Athletes perform well and will be able to suit to the climate.
Point to ponder....the heat in Africa is even worse but yet their athletes shine. Brazil is also located on the equator but yet are sports giants.
3. Is it justified to use RM490 million?
NSC: No! But if over the span of 10 years...hmmm....
4. Will this undermine Bukit Jalil Stadium?
NSC: No response
Point to ponder.....the money projected should not be focused in London alone but also dumped at the Bukit Jalil Stadia. This will ensure the management of the stadium allows schools to rent the facilities instead of a proposed complete ban starting from next year. Note, concerts are given the green light...sigh!

Hope NSC director general Datuk Dr Ramlan Aziz's words that the grassroots will not be left out come true. And hopefully all this will come to a fairy tale ending...(giving NSC the benefit of the doubt).
