okay....fellas....whu thinks that this will help?? okay we all agree no more roalyties.....the president refusing to budge, and the UMNO politician is also in....and uncontested?!?!!

it was quoted that sultan ahmad said that we live by democracy n thus voting is the way to go...but why is the seat of which khairy jamaluddin is in now is not being contested....shud he even be there in the 1st place...im pretty sure he got no footballing experience let alone lead the national governing body of the sport???

and 5 others competed for the vice president n look how democracy ousted the royalty.... so issit now UMNO > kerabat ????

and wat u guys think the future got in place for the national team n the grassroot developments.....

fire on

i think FAM can remain as a rulling body. If really wanna improve the soccer in malaysia.
Better set up privatetised body like in england, they got english FA and premier league. whereby premier league settle all financial, investment of the league.

anyhow, change of hands in the management doesn't means can improve the games, change of the system might.

Looking at KJ inside FAM, one definite answer is he able to attract sponsor to our football industry. So I don't think FAM will have any problem about $$$.

The question is, with this money will it bring good, improvement and development of our football standard?

The puzzle is not complete yet as we don't have FAM Secretary. Who will it be?

Well.. he was one of the producers of MyTeam i think lol.

So at least he has interest

I thought not long ago he resigned, then now he's back, Khairy.

KJ Well, best of luck to the "new" FAM. I have this eerie feeling things will more or less go back to the all talk no action non-sense.

new team old management style. What is the point?

yea i guess so.....we shud take some great futballer in as the head la....look at platini, beckenbauer & etc...all former greats....now spearheading their organization....but KJ.....im afraid he will corrupt msian futball more by bringin in his cigarette smiking, drug injecting n terrapin blood drinking rempits into the team.....then might change the national team's nick name into msian rempis....(like englands 3 lions)

Wait and see. There's lots of room for improvement. I dont think anyone should blame them for trying. Just hope that the athletes and coaches will have priority in the programmes.

Personally I think the new committee should be given time before we can fairly criticise them. No need to bash here and there when they still haven't start anything yet. From what I've read the committee also involves the presidents of various state FA's. Perhaps this time there will be improvements in our local football.

My main concern is if this band of brothers is going to be able to get the other races involved in the team, like back in the good old days? It's no big secret that our teams (badminton, hockey and football) were more successful when it was more erm... 'muhibah'.

yea give them time. err like.. 20years.

ya, a lot chinese and indian love to play football ... as we can see in futsal ...

i think this not an issue.. we can have the team that involve all races in the team if they seriously had an ambition to be in the national football team. No offense here but i think does chinese school had their own football team? maybe they have but not being paid fully attention on it. They got money and they can build a team and give opportunities to chinese players to show their real talent but how many of them dare to take the challenge?

from my opinion, just give them time, and we wait and see. perhaps they can do something, or else.... u guys know wat to do...erm...

Yeap, agree...usually Chinese schools prefer to focus on basketball. Moreover, Chinese are more prone to back out when it comes to football. Mostly those who stay and fight are Indians and Malays, us Chinese tend to take it as a leisure activity. However things could be done to encourage.

Leadership from the brains that wants to send mat rempits to the top of the North Pole/ Mount Everest... Dunno what else to say about the football future...

Lets just hope the new FAM is better than the last

well its always not a good prospect when politicians come into organizations like this rite?? anyway its never been proven to be a positiv thing rite here in msia....im juz judging that based of the past....but okay....as some said...i shudnt judge.....but i will remain skeptical...

when KJ took that spot...i doubt theres gonna be muhibbah......coz as everyone noes hes an 'ultra' aka racist.....and he got elected with no oppositions....wth??? more like getting apppointed rather than elected......but god noes wat invisible hands played him into that lucrative seat......

n bout the chinese school....even if the schools aint proactive in improving the sport.....the community can always play a part say some form of FAM driven grass root development.....

i think it will the same bcos we need ex-footballer not politician and sultan
