Malaysian Hockey

Unless the country had TWO persons that have the same name, same face and play hockey, born on the same day, the Malaysian Hockey Confederation has obviously bungled big time.

For someone nby the name of MOHD NOR AQMAL ABDUL GHAFFAR was named in the National Juniors Squad to the Junior World Cup in New Delhi last Thursday at a press conference where the politically astute MHC Senior Vice President read out that name.

And two days later, in a list of 24 players as the SEA Games training squad was released and presto, we have one MOHD NOR AQMAL as the 24th player in the list.

So either the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing or it is a clear case of administrative bungle that MHC is so accustomed to. 

And another selection issue is the inclusion of player number 20, spelt as Mohd Noor Fareez. Is this not the same player that cried out of the national team giving studies as an excuse. So what has Paul Revington has to say about this?

And the crux of the matter is not even resolved. Checks with OCM revealed that Lailin Abu Hassan is named as the Assistant Coach, contrary with the decision of the Coaching Committee that listed M. Kaliswaran and Kulwant Singh.

Azmi insists that either Kalis or Kulwant will go, but offered no explanation as to why they are not listed.
