Salam...

Blog aku dah confirm or 100% being left for the past couple of weeks.I'm not really into blogging lately because there are massacre in every part of me.To make matter worst is reading an ethnic-centric book reflecting of 13th may 1969 ethnic confrontation.Let alone the author to potray his view and frustration on government in the book.Anyway I could not agree more on his view regarding to the DEB only really benefit people at a certain level.

Anyway this morning aku tak blog-walking because non of the posting capture my attention.Then I move to online news.There is a news in the sport section did capture my attention which is Sukma to be held annually rather than once in two years.The 13th edition will be the beginning of an annual Sukma.KBS will demolish mini olympics.The reason they change the format because the want to ensure that all athlete to maintain their form which I can't see the relevant.Wasn't it better to do it once in 2 years so that there will be significant improvement on scouted athletes from age-level competition?

From wiki I noted that all except Kelantan and Perlis had or will be the host for Sukma.Hosting is a really big thing.A lot of money required to built stadium.A large chunck of money will be allocated on the accomodation and transportation of athlete and official.In conclusion Sukma is time and money consuming.Over the years I can see that most of stadium in the host state left without much benefit to the surrounding community.Certain sports venue such as swimming and bowling were opened to public.The others whether being left to rotten or being use once in a while for competition which means high maintainance cost for once in a while event.

Sukam for sports development or Sukma for state income?From my point of view Sukma give more benefit on economy.Malaysian world class athlete didn't need this type of competition.They need training and competition at the top level rather than national level.What will benefit the state economy?Sukma more or less give the oppurtunity for the state to market their tourist attraction to the participant and officials.Good transportation and accomodation will attract them to come back later to have a holiday with their family. Bussiness oppurtunity is unlimited.Athlete and official buying souveniers for their friends and family.

For years we had seen there is no significant in most of sports in Malaysia.Football only achieve something called consistency since past couple of years.There are rise of athlete from pool event and other than that I can say it is invisible.KBS are making too much irrelevant decision I in my opinion.From my point of view a national circuit is better.Once in 2 months for the core sports.Each state can only be a host for not more than 2 or three sports.@-3 months will give sufficient times for athlete to recover from injury,getting fit and improve their games.This for me is more practical.It also open up oppurtunity for national coaches to do the scouting by monitoring the athelete performance rather than keep on picking those who were selected 5 years ago for international competition.

After all there should be a change on the regular plan and ideology in the KBS.Aren't they try to take a different approach.There should be less corruption in money management so that more money allocated on development of athlete.Malaysia sports are not going anywhere unless there is significant change on how scouting and performance were monitored.Consistent performer at international stage should remain there.Once in a while rising youngster should be given a run against the well established senior.

    but mr dob, in my opinion purpose of sukma is to seArch young, new and fresh talent for Malaysia athlete..

    this is the right and best platform for beginner and amatuer to make Sukma as stepping stone to another higher level..
