We need 500,000 members in this group by end of February 2010, and literally we would be sending signals to the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Youth and Sports that they have failed their KPI.
If we manage to hit ONE MILLION members by end of February 2010, these people better empty their table and leave the Ministry,because THEY have been voted out of THEIR JOBS, by the PEOPLE!

Someone SAVE Malaysian Schools' Sports PLEASE!
Rest assured that the 11 sports drop from the MSSM calendar and several other sports which saw their Under-1`5 category being dropped, have no chance of being reinstated this year.
The Education Minister, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has said more than a week ago that he has no knowledge of the cut in MSSM's annual budget from RM 6 million to RM1.5 and that 11 sports have been axed.
However, nothing has surfaced after that or any mention of him intervening to save the situation.
Then, National Sports Assocaitions (NSAs) of sports dropped by MSSM were called for a meeting by the Sports Division of the Education Ministry and asked to help out to organise the events.
However, the NSAs made an appeal so that these sports are reinstated and organised by MSSM.

So many Visitors yet ................
I can see so many visitors from Malaysia visiting this Blog the last couples of days, yet there is no comment to the post of MSSM Bombshell!
School is where the beginning of Malaysian sports and without the proper development of sports in school we can all kiss goodbye to whatever future champions that the school may produce and thus the end of Malaysian sport.
No matter how rich a person is, without real sport development in the school, you are only wasting your time and money coz it will do no good to the children.
Now is the time for all of us to make our stand and post our views, even if you agree with the ammount of funds allocated by the Ministry to MSSM and that Tenpin Bowling will not be contested in this year's MSSM carnival.
Don't just waste your time making your comments during your teh tarik or smoking sessions. Yes,especially during Smoking Sessions in Bowling Alley's Smoking Room. I have heard so many of you stating your strong comments against this decision by the Ministy coz I was also in the smoking room during the just concluded National Close.
Come on Malaysian be brave, a platform is provided here make good use of it. Like I said even if you do agree with the Ministry decision we would like to read your thoughts!
My appologies if this kinda sound a little provocative, but sometimes this is what Malaysian needs so that they will come out from their shell and comfort zone!

MSSM Bombshell!!!!
By The Star Publication
Education Ministry slashes budget for MSSM
By Y.P. SIVAM
THE Education Ministry has dropped a bombshell just eight days into the new year by slashing the annual allocation of RM6mil to RM1.5mil to the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM), thus forcing the council to cut down on the number of sports in the calendar.
Until last year, the Education Ministry had provided RM6mil annually to the MSSM. A total 24 sports, catering for the Under-12, Under-15 and Under-18 were under the programme.
However, with a tight budget this year, the MSSM had to restrict the number of sports to only 13.
They are artistic gymnastics, gymrama, golf, swimming, athletics, badminton, netball, basketball, volleyball, sepak takraw, football, tennis and hockey. On top of that, all the sports, except for artistic gymnastics, gimrama, swimming and athletics, will not have the Under-15 age group.
This brings forth the second blow to the sports fraternity.
Prominent sports like bowling, squash and archery have been axed from the programme. These are the sports that have put Malaysia on the world map through current world squash champion Datuk Nicol David, Malaysia’s first professional bowler Shalin Zulkifli and archer Cheng Chu Sian won the recurve individual gold at the recent Laos Games.
Archery is also included in the ambitious Road to London programme targeted for the 2012 Olympics.
The others given the chop are table tennis, rugby, cricket, sailing, softball, handball, cross country and chess.
According to an official, many were caught by surprise when informed of the decision to drop the 11 sports.
“The MSSM officials explained that the Education Ministry had reduced the annual budget.
“With the drastic cut in finance, it is not possible to organise all 24 sports,’’ said the official.
However, all state education department sports units were advised to organise the sports that are not in the MSSM calendar at the school, district and state level.
“But this suggestion is not practical as the state will have to source for sponsorship,” the offical said.
Another problem is that the Education Ministry sports awards for 2010 will only be confined to athletes involved in the sports in the MSSM.
“Then there is also the 10 merit points allocated to students to gain entry in universities. The students, active in the 11 sports not in the MSSM, will lose the 10 merit points and this jeopardises their chances.
More importantly, the MSSM’s decision has demoralised a lot of teachers who have been involved in sports,’’ said the official.
Despite the financial constraints, the MSSM have accepted the responsibility to host the Asean Schools Sports Carnival in July.
The carnival, involving all 13 sports in the MSSM calendar, will be held in the Klang Valley. It is learnt that Selangor and Kuala Lumpur have been entrusted to host the events.
