Kesimpulan dari apa yang aku lihat, populariti memainkan peranan penting dalam mempengaruhi pemilihan. selain itu faktor apa yang mampu kau bawak sekiranya kau dipilih. mungkin itu faktor utama.. sebab yang penting ada dana masuk.. mungkin lah.. kalo ikut logiknya macam tu lah.. tengok saja 2 jawatan tertinggi. aku nampak satu je.. masuk dana (keluar balik dana itu aku x tau).. lihat juga pada posisi naib presiden. aku nampak 2 pengaruh besar, anak PM dan wakil silat. populariti mereka mungkin mengatasi yang lain selain harapan orang untuk membawa pembangunan lebih banyak kepada sukan negara. 3 lagi naib presiden aku kira sorang dari gymnastik datuk zakaria (betulkan kalau aku silap), sorang angkat berat iaitu Datuk ong poh eng dan wakil wanita datuk paduka mumtaz.

Tapi masih lagi dalam posisi-posisi atas ni faktor politik tetap diambil kira. aku x tau la sebab apa. sama ada mereka mencari platform atau jalan singkat politik, cari nama, cari projek atau mungkin faktor pengaruh mereka diperlukan untuk pembangunan spt bantuan dana. takpe aku sentiasa bersangka baik. bagi peluang sepenggal untuk mereka buktikan. ada sukan olimpik rio 2016 tahun depan dan paling penting ada sukan sea 2017 yang tentunya waktu tu kita tuan rumah... bajet sedia maklum lebih 1 billion sebagai persediaan.. whut? apakah? hhmmm ada bau macam kurang enak ke?

takpe yang penting kita lihat persediaan ke olimpik. itu paling hampir.. tinggal lagi setahun lebih kurang cuma ada 2 wakil setakat ini yang sah beraksi. dua dua dari acara terjun. badminton kemungkinan besar tiada masalah. memanah? aku dengar tinggal satu je peluang cari tiket lepas mereka gagal di denmark masa awal syawal baru ni.

ok berbalik pada jawatan atas ni... aku nampak ada sedikit kelakar.. nampaknya datuk sieh kok chi memang tak nak tinggalkan ocm begitu saja.. sudah menjadi ibarat darah daging dia dan mungkin juga rumah dia.. sebab tu dia tak kisah pun 'turun pangkat' jadi penolong.. tidak seperti 2 dekad lalu menjadi setiausaha. mungkin bangunan ocm sudah sebati dengan hidupnya. manakala datuk low beng choo bakal menjalankan tugas selaku setiausaha kehormat lepas ni, jawatan yang menuntut lebih kerja untuk dia.

jawatan-jawatan lain tu aku tak berapa pandai nak ulas. cuma rosmanizam memang susah juga nak lawan mungkin sebab rekod cemerlang dia di ocm sebelum ini.

yang menang tahniah, yang kalah janganlah kecewa dan marah.. dua tahun je pun. pejam celik bertanding lagi. paling mustahak pembangunan sukan, bukan buta jawatan. aku ni tak le pandai tapi aku pun rakyat yang nak tengok kejayaan sukan di olimpik jugak... ok selamat bertugas kepada semua!

p/s..   siapa ye CDM malaysia ke olimpik?

FINALLY, THE PRESIDENT SUSPENDED

im sure its not new for some sports practitioners, its been in one local english newspaper last year, just want to refresh it so you will know that its still a question mark where the money goes, but for sure it will be a good news for some sports lover, especially for those who always follow their development.


after about 7 years, finally its president was suspended. after doing an unnecessarily thing, shifting the association's money to an unprofitable thing, and the worst is - THE MONEY IS MISSING.

"the special committee about the missing 3.8 million has lodged police report last year. and based on investigation the president is one of the companies director. so the agm's on june has decided to suspend the president from his duty until the case resolved," the source said.

according to her at the moment the association still communicate with police and anti corruptions body to get updated about the investigation.

"the missing money has been questioned since 2008 when the committee was formed, to get back from where it goes,"

but since that committee are not doing serious job, the president still continue his job until last year, just like nothing happened in the association.

ironically, he still doing his job as the asian's president as well as international association governing board members.

"we are transforming our association to be more better, we dont know where's the money, what we want to know is whether the company can return the money or not,"she added.

"probably its not a corruption, but more likely is abuse of power,".

regarding the next agm which will be on june this year, she said the association will discuss with sports commisioner whether the president can retain his position or not.

"the cased still under investigation, its not a final decision to make any punishment, that why its only suspended from duty, not expel from association,"

when asked why take a long time to make a decision of suspension, she said maybe the new 2012 exco's have more responsibility than the previous one. because its not a personal money, it is association money, a welfare for the athletes.

its not easy to get back the confidence, especially from the sports ministry or maybe NSC, but hopefully they try their best to improve it for the benefit of their athletes.

** im sure u know the president.. dont know? you guess...

ATHLETE'S FOOT - PREVENT IT

from the name sound's like normal. or even you never think about it. or in ur mind its all refer to sports athletes. well, it might point to athletes, But normal person can also be like this. especially whos always wearing shoe. ie. travelers, backpackers or outdoor activities person. and it could be worse, until can spoiled ur mood . Because - its part of infection.

Let see what it is all about.

ATHLETES FOOT
 
Athlete's foot (also known as ringworm of the foot,^[1] tinea pedum,^[2] and moccasin foot^[3]) is a common and contagious skin disease that causes itching, scaling, flaking, and sometimes blistering of the affected areas. Its medical name is tinea pedis,^[1] a member of the group of diseases or conditions known as tinea, most of which are dermatophytoses (fungal infections of the skin, hair, or nails), which in turn are mycoses (broad category of fungal infections).^[4] Globally, athlete's foot affects about 15% of the population.^[3]
Tinea pedis is caused by fungi such as Epidermophyton floccosum or fungi of the Trichophyton genus including T. rubrum,^[5] T. mentagrophytes,^[6] and T. tonsurans (more common in children).^[7] These fungi are typically transmitted in moist communal areas where people go barefoot, such as around swimming pools or in locker rooms, and require a warm moist environment like the inside of a shoe to incubate.^[7] Fungal infection of the foot may be acquired (or reacquired) in many ways, such as by walking in an infected locker room, by using an infested bathtub, by sharing a towel used by someone with the disease, by touching the feet with infected fingers (such as after scratching another infected area of the body), or by wearing fungi-contaminated socks or shoes.
Infection can often be prevented by keeping the feet dry by limiting the use of footwear that enclose the feet, or by remaining barefoot.^[8] The fungi may spread to other areas of the body, such as by scratching. The fungi tend to infect areas of skin that are kept warm and moist, such as with insulation (clothes), body heat, and sweat. However, the spread of the infection is not limited to skin. Toe nails become infected with fungi in the same way as the rest of the foot, typically by being trapped with fungi in the warm, dark, moist inside of a shoe.
To effectively treat athlete's foot, it is necessary to treat the entire infection, wherever it is on the body, until the fungi are dead and the skin has fully healed. There is a wide array of over the counter and prescription topical medications in the form of liquids, sprays, powders, ointments, and creams for killing fungi that have infected the feet or the body in general. For persistent conditions, oral medications are available by prescription.

btw.. i paste it from the most referred website which is wikipedia. u can read more from HERE - ATHLETE'S FOOT .

or maybe some trusted website

PRE BOOKED OR WALK IN?

assalamualaikum...

the first thing in ur mind when you out for travel of course is where to sleep. when there is many choice of place and option, you will choose a better and comfortable.

but in some travelers mind is - are there a place to sleep? and whether its suits you or not.

nowadays 'the world is at your fingertips'... including to find an accommodation. just click and choose. a website like agoda.com (most popular website), tripadvisor, booking.com, trivago, asiarooms etc. is where you can find place to stay and save ur time when you reach the place.

but sometimes the place is differ from internet compare to actual views, or you dont have a clear picture when you search a place through internet and when you at the real place.

This is where you have other option which is to just go and find when you reach the place or in other term - walk in. where you have better option, better view suits with you, and comfort with your style of living.

BUT, walk-in to find accommodation for me is not suitable for family especially with quite a big number of people. you will just waste time, tiring them indirectly eliminate the holiday mood.

so, bare in mind when you travel with family, just make sure u do a pre booked hotels first. whether the place is suits with you or not, its number 2. or u can try booked for 2 nights. once u reach there place you can think to continue next few days or try find other places / hotels if u want.

Walk-in hotels very suitable for backpackers or non-family travelers, or small family, or maybe when u travel by car, which you don't have to rush, can relax, go hotels by hotels, choose the cheapest rate and with the views u like or at the main attraction areas.

most of people in their minds is - is there still a room? especially when it comes peak days eg. public holidays or school holidays. don't worry, every tourist attraction area or i can say every place in the world - there must be a place to stay and no such word like 'all place fully booked'. trust me. there will be a place to sleep.. just that whether u like it or not, or whether still have a choice or just pick anything in front u.

one more thing... if u already know the place, u know the area, u know already the hotels, and u know that the hotels / resorts is people's choice, and u worried about full booked, then i suggest do a pre-booked or just booked early. this things happen to a place like family resorts where many families like to go.

in my observation:

Pre-booked advantage
- save time
- discount / offers from website
- complete package eg. tours
- complete description about hotels eg 2 stars, 3 stars or with wifi, swimming pool or not

disadvantage
- dont know the real place  / areas
- can't imagine hotel areas inside and outside (even its provide map)
- strict rules eg number of pax in one room
- limited hotel offers eg cheap rate with no breakfast

walk-in
- many choice
- cheapest rate comparison
- can choose better area
- choose better views
- choose better hotel offers

disadvantage
- a bit tiring
- a bit time wasting

what ever it is, pre booked or walk in depends on where u go, whether its suitable if u do pre-booked or walk in. example if u go to langkawi island, my opinion just go and find there. there is so many hotels, resorts, homestays, guesthouse etc.. after all it is ur own country.. just think the areas u want to go and just walk in, choose which hotels u want. other example, if u go to vietnam for first time, its not ur country, u affraid of being cheated, then it is better u do a pre-booked accommodation. and u dont need to waste ur time.

and going outside ur country, will be different in each other country... it is yourself, your choice, and you choose... happy holiday and happy traveling!
