en guarde!


IT is sad the smaller sports in this country is hitting the headlines for the wrong reasons.
Just a week ago, the Malaysian Fencing Federation were accused of having sidelined the basics of administration by roping in family members into the sport.
When questioned by a local daily on such actions by the recently re-elected President, the so called President went around asking for his nephew's assistance in clearing his name- his nephew none other than Khairy Jamaluddin.
Interesting how people fail to defend their own actions and see the need to call in back up.
Nine out of ten members within the national body dreaded his come back as President. Fencers claim they were supposed to go to the December Korat SEA Games in Thailand under category A but the President roped his daughter into the SEA Games bound squad (although she is 14th in the national standings) and the whole team will now go under category B.
Things came to a boiling point when a 17 year old girl fencer was punched in her face by a team mate.
Dance sport too has suffered injustice.
After having 'dancing' in the country for the past 13 years, the Malaysian Dance Sport Bhd are having problems registering with the Sports Commissioner's Office as per the Sports Development Act.
Instead, the commissioner's office approved the application of the Malaysian United Dancesport Association (MUDA) two years ago. Sadly, MUDA has not organised any tournaments or provide dancers for any international events.
Tan Sri Elyas was quoted saying he is only recognises MUDA and stressed they are the governing body.
Baffling, the MDSB are affliated to the Olympic Council Malaysia by the International Dancesport Federation , organise the national open and send dancers to represent the country in international meets. Yet it is not the governing body?!
At times it is easier having a more 'dictatorship' role than to allow democracy to run supreme. What use is the power of people other than spoiling the current system for the worst.

You need to permit your company or professors learn about your apnea and offer them additional information concerning your symptoms. Feeling tired in the daytime will likely prevent you from paying attention and functioning efficiently: usually do not let your company or professors presume that you will be not trying with enough concentration or staying up delayed simply because you are drinking.
