JDT FLIGHT TO DOHA GROUNDED – THANKS TO COVID-19

JOHOR BAHRU, 11 Nov – It is a bitter blow to seven-time Malaysian Super League champions Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) when the government said the team will not be allowed to leave the shores for their AFC Champions League matches in Doha, Qatar later this month.
Senior Minister,  Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob delivered the “killer blow” during his daily media briefing during question time which stunned many.
This is the second blow for football in the country coming within days when the same minister announced that the Malaysia Cup has been told to take a break due to Covid-19.
JDT, winners of the AFC Cup in 2015 – the only Malaysian team to have achieved that – are in Group G and currently second in the table with three points from one win and one defeat after two matches.
The remaining matches are to be played in Doha with the Southern Tigers scheduled to face Guangzhou Evergrande on Nov 19, followed by a match against Suwon Bluewings (Nov 25), Vissel Kobe (Dec 1), and complete their fixtures against Guangzhou (Dec 4).
”Adhering to the SOP laid down by the government, JDT is barred from leaving the country. The ruling is still in force and as such the team (JDT) is barred from going to Doha. It is a no go for JDT,” said Ismail who also announced that the authorities have also shot down the appeal by the Malaysian Football League and the FA of Malaysia to make some leeway for the remaining Malaysia Cup matches be completed.
The Malaysia Cup is at the quarter-final stage -with JDT battling Kuala Lumpur, Kedah playing Selangor, Penang versus UiTM, and Perak against Terengganu – in the fight for a place in the last four.

MALAYSIA CUP ON COVID-19 ‘VENTILATOR’

KUALA LUMPUR, 10 Nov – The region’s oldest football competition – the Malaysia Cup  which is into its 94th edition this year – is virtually on ”life support” after the National Security Council (NSC) postponed it indefinitely due to the rising Coronavirus cases in the country.
While the Malaysian Football League (MFL) has appealed to the respective authorities to let the competition, which has reached the quarter-final stage, the indefinite postponement came out of the blue.
The leagues were completed under strict SOP and the Malaysia Cup is also under strict SOP and it was smooth going so far with everyone playing their role to ensure the safety and health of those involved.
Everyday we are sure of getting unexpected “shocks” from the daily press conference from Senior Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob who delivered the jolt on Saturday.
More often than not it is something new today and it will be something new tomorrow on the same topic from the veteran politician. This is confusing the people.
Do not make a blanket ruling for the sake of imposing a new rule. The least the NSC and the Health Ministry should have done was to consult the relevant football authorities and worked out a win-win situation – more so when the football season is coming to a close.
This is the time when the contract of the players and coaches usually come to an end. Some contracts end in November and some in December.
Did anyone give a thought or spared a thought for the players and the coaches whose livelihood depends on football?
Do not forget that some teams used Covid-19 as a ”major cover-up” not to pay the salaries of the players and other team officials.
Covid-19 became and has become the most “abused” word by many parties to deny payment.
Pahang (Darul Makmur Stadium, Kuantan) and Kelantan (Sultan Muhammed IV Stadium, Kota Bahru) are two of the states that have been spared the Conditional Movement Control Order (CMCO) and the MFL has placed strict SOPs for the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the final to be played at the two said venues.
This is agreeable to all the teams that have reached the Malaysia Cup quarter-finals. Apart from the prestigious silverware, the champions will also get the ticket to the AFC Cup as the third team from Malaysia in the Asian meet.
For the record JDT has already qualified for the AFC Champions League as the Malaysian Super League champions while Kedah has qualified for the AFC Cup after finishing runners-up to JDT.
The quarter-final matches are between Johor Darul Takzim vs Kuala Lumpur; Kedah vs Selangor; Terengganu vs Perak and Penang vs UiTM.

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 Nov – The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Technical Committee emphasised the importance of developing the next generation of Asian football players when it recommended an enhanced Grassroots Charter and the Elite Youth Scheme to the AFC Executive Committee’s next meeting.
The Committee also took important steps to protect as well as continue the improvement of the coaching standards in Asia by replacing the process of the AFC’s approval criteria of coaches at all levels of the game.
Chaired by Kohzo Tashima, the Technical Committee recognised the challenges that have been faced during the Covid-19 pandemic and the chairperson added: “The pandemic has disrupted many other planned football development events for the year, but with the spirit within us and through online activities, we shall overcome this temporary setback.
“Together we shall and with firm resolve, work for the continuous growth of football in Asia.”
Key to that growth is the development of young players from the grassroots and through to the Elite Youth Scheme.
As a key element of the AFC’s good governance, the Technical Committee approved the revise regulations and guidelines to ensure best practice is applied to this important level of the game.
To support this review, the AFC has also confirmed the specialised and expert panels which are responsible for the coach education, grassroots and elite youth football development activities, including the implementation and operation of the AFC Coaching Convention, AFC Grassroots Charter and the AFC Elite Youth Scheme.
The Committee also agreed to replace the Recognition of Experience and Current Competence for coaches, which was introduced in 2013 and to simplify the situation in order to protect the development of players, coaches, teams and the game throughout Asia.
The updated criteria will come into force in the next club licensing and Competitions regulations cycle.
During its meeting, the Committee also discussed a proposal for a review of the schedule of the current AFC Champions League season and this will also now be considered by the AFC Marketing Committee and the AFC Competitions Committee.
“As we move forward to the next decade, we have an opportunity to discuss the structure of the AFC Champions League season from a technical perspective. It is not easy, we understand, and we must also take into consideration the consequences in terms of organisation and commercial viability as well as our many stakeholders,” added Tashima in a statement today.

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 Nov – Seperti yang dilaporkan Hubmedia sebelum ini, kini sudah sah bahawa Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) dan Para Sukma 2020 Johor ditunda ke tahun 2022.

Berikut kenyataan media Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Dato’ Sri Reezal Merican Naina Merican berhubung keputusan penundaan tersebut.

KENYATAAN MEDIA MENTERI BELIA DAN SUKAN

1. Saya telah mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Tertinggi
Sukan Malaysia pada hari ini secara dalam talian khusus bagi
mendapatkan pelaporan status terkini penganjuran Sukan

Sekretariat Sukma Johor 2020.

2. Mesyuarat telah dihadiri oleh semua wakil dari negeri–negeri yang
terlibat termasuk pihak Kerajaan Negeri Johor. Mesyuarat
turut dihadiri oleh Presiden MOM dan Presiden MPM. Mesyuarat pada

Sukma Johor dan pihak Kerajaan Negeri Johor telah memohon
supaya Sukan Malaysia dan Para Sukma Johor 2020 yang
telah dijadualkan pada Mac dan April 2021, ditangguhkan
sekali lagi atas beberapa sebab:

(i) Ketidaktentuan dalam penularan wabak pandemik
COVID–19 yang telah memasuki gelombang ketiga
melanda negara pada ketika ini;

(ii) Kesukaran menyediakan jaminan keselamatan
kesihatan kepada hampir 30 ribu orang yang akan
terlibat nanti baik atlet, jurulatih, pegawai,
sukarelawan, pengurusan dan sebagainya tidak
mengambil kira penonton dan peminat sukan;

(iii) Dua kali penangguhan sebelum ini telah
menyebabkan peningkatan kos pengurusan;

Sukma memberi tekanan dan kekangan kepada
perlaksanaan program latihan atlet negeri-negeri
peserta.

(v) Kalendar beberapa temasya sukan tempatan dan
antarabangsa pada tahun 2021 juga terlalu rapat
dengan beberapa tarikh penting seperti Ramadhan
(13 April – 12 Mei 2021), Kejohanan Bola Sepak Euro
2020 (11 Jun – 11 Julai 2021), Sukan Olimpik Tokyo
2020 (23 Julai – 8 Ogos 2021), Sukan Paralimpik
Tokyo 2020 (24 Ogos – 5 September 2021).

4. Walau bagaimanapun, pada masa yang sama, Kerajaan Negeri
Johor telah melahirkan kesediaan mereka untuk
menganjurkan Sukan Malaysia dan Sukan Para Sukma yang
ke-20 pada tahun 2022 nanti kerana secara amnya Johor telah
hampir 99 peratus bersedia dari segi perancangan, pengurusan, teknikal,
kemudahan pertandingan dan sebagainya.

5. Untuk itu, Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Sukan Malaysia/Para Sukma yang
bermesyuarat pada hari ini telah membuat ketetapan secara bersama
iaitu:

(i) Temasya Sukan Malaysia Ke XX, tahun 2020
ditangguhkan dan penganjurannya dibawa ke tahun
2022. Oleh itu, Temasya Sukan Para Sukma XX,
tahun 2020 juga ditangguhkan dan dibawa ke tahun
2022.

(ii) Negeri Johor ditawarkan semula menjadi tuan rumah
Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) dan Para Sukma XX pada
tahun 2022.

(iii) Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Sukan Malaysia/Para
Sukma juga memutuskan tuan rumah Sukan Malaysia
dan Para Sukma XXI 2024 akan kembali ke Majlis
Sukan Negara yang akan menganjurkannya bersama
dengan Negeri Selangor atau Wilayah Persekutuan
selaras dengan persetujuan bahawa negeri-negeri
lain hanya akan menjadi tuan rumah dalam
penggiliran empat tahun sekali dan di antaranya akan
danjurkan oleh MSN bersama Selangor atau Wilayah
Persekutuan.

(iv) Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Sukan Malaysia/Para Sukma
juga bersetuju tuan rumah Sukan Malaysia XXII
dan Para Sukma XXII 2026 akan dianjurkan oleh
negeri Kelantan dan ia juga telah dipersetujui oleh
wakil Kerajaan Negeri Kelantan sebentar tadi.

(v) Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Sukan Malaysia/Para
Sukma juga bersetuju supaya Jawatankuasa Teknikal
Sukan Malaysia dan Para Sukma meneliti dan
mencadangkan semula perubahan-perubahan
peraturan yang terlibat dari segi had umur, kelayakan
penyertaan dan sebagainya bagi penganjuran Sukan
Malaysia dan Para Sukma Johor 2022 pada mesyuarat
Jawatankuasa Tertinggi yang akan datang.

(vi) Kementerian Belia dan Sukan akan memaklumkan
keputusan-keputusan tersebut kepada Mesyuarat
Jemaah Menteri.

6. Keputusan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Sukma tersebut adalah
dibuat setelah mengambilkira dan mempertimbangkan pelbagai faktor akibat kesan pandemik COVID-19, persiapan atlet dan pasukan negeri-
negeri yang menyertai, persiapan penganjuran yang terbaik, pandangan pihak berkuasa dan kerajan negeri tuan rumah dan paling utama sekali, atas dasar kepentingan kesihatan, kesejahteraan dan kebaikan semua pihak yang terlibat.

UiTM KNOCK KELANTAN OUT, SELANGOR EDGE MELAKA

PETALING JAYA, 8 Nov – A gem of a goal from Arif Anwar – his second on the night,  powered rookies UiTM FC to a 3-2 win over Kelantan and a place in the Malaysia Cup quarter-finals at the Manjung Stadium in Perak on Sunday.
Arif scored with a bicycle kick in the 67th minute when he ran into space to intercept a long ball from Rabih Ayata to catch Kelantan keeper Fikri Che Soh by surprise on a night when the east coast team looked like snatching a win after drawing level to wipe out UiTM’s 2-0 lead.
That goal gave UiTM a 3-2 lead after a double strike by Danial Ashraf Abdullah in a space of three minutes breathed life into Kelantan. Danial struck in the 61st and 63rd minutes.
UiTM roared to a 2-0 lead when Arif opened scoring in the 13th minute before Rafie Mat Yaacob got the second in the 16 minutes.
The university side will next face Premier League champions Penang for a place in the semi-finals. Penang defeated Felda United 3-1 in the first round.
For Selangor it was a hard earned win on a soggy pitch which denied both teams scoring opportunities but the Red Giants took the lead through their Nigerian hitman Ifedayo Olusegun on 21 minutes.
Brazilian midfielder Sandro Mendonca made it 2-0 in the 52nd minute – planting left footed shot past Melaka United’s former national number one custodian Khairul Fahmi Che Mat.
However, Melaka fought back after the break and pulled one back through Nigerian striker Uche Agba three minutes after the restart. It gave Selangor some jitters as Melaka grew in confidence.
However, Melaka could not add to the tally and allowed Selangor to keep their Malaysia Cup mission alive in the country’s oldest football tournament.
Selangor has won the prestigious silverware 33 times.

TEKS UCAPAN

MENTERI KANAN PENDIDIKAN

DR. RADZI JIDIN

8 NOVEMBER 2020
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh & salam sejahtera,
1. Bersama-sama saya pada pagi ini adalah kedua-dua Timbalan
Menteri Pendidikan, Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Pendidikan
Malaysia dan Ketua Pengarah Pelajaran Malaysia.

Pengoperasian Sekolah untuk Baki Tahun 2020
2. Tahun ini adalah tahun yang sangat mencabar bagi seluruh dunia,
termasuk juga negara kita yang begitu terkesan dengan pandemik
COVID-19. Keadaan pada masa ini merupakan satu situasi yang
sukar kepada semua dan perlu kita harungi bersama. Tambahan
pula, dalam situasi negara menghadapi gelombang ketiga
pandemik COVID-19 dengan peningkatan jumlah kes positif
COVID-19 yang tinggi, KPM memerlukan pendekatan yang
berbeza dan ada kalanya pendekatan tersebut adalah luar daripada
kebiasaan.
3. Dalam hal ini, setiap perancangan atau keputusan yang dibuat
perlu diperhalusi dan diteliti kerana kesan pandemik COVID-19
kepada sektor pendidikan melibatkan pelbagai pihak
berkepentingan yang begitu besar jumlahnya, merangkumi lebih 5
juta orang murid dan pelajar serta lebih 500,000 orang guru,
pensyarah dan warga KPM. Namun, dalam apa jua pendekatan dan
keputusan yang diambil, KPM sentiasa memberi keutamaan
kepada aspek keselamatan dan kesihatan semua murid, guru,
pensyarah dan warga KPM.
4. KPM mengambil maklum pengumuman oleh Yang Berhormat
Menteri Kanan Pertahanan pada 7 November 2020 berhubung
pelaksanaan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Bersyarat (PKPB)
melibatkan seluruh negeri di Semenanjung Malaysia kecuali negeri
Kelantan, Pahang dan Perlis. Tempoh PKPB ini adalah selama
empat minggu bermula 9 November sehingga 6 Disember 2020.
Manakala PKPB di Sabah, Selangor serta Wilayah Persekutuan
Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya dan Labuan turut dilanjutkan sehingga
tarikh tersebut.
5. Mengambil kira pengumuman tersebut serta takwim persekolahan
tahun 2020, KPM telah memutuskan bahawa semua sekolah
termasuk Kolej Vokasional di bawah KPM di negeri-negeri terlibat
akan ditutup bermula pada 9 November 2020 sehingga ke hari akhir
persekolahan tahun ini iaitu pada 17 Disember 2020 bagi negeri
Kumpulan A dan 18 Disember 2020 bagi negeri Kumpulan B.
Penutupan ini melibatkan 74 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan
sekolah di bawah KPM.
6. Oleh yang demikian, KPM telah memutuskan bahawa semua
sekolah di negeri Kelantan, Pahang, Perlis dan Sarawak akan turut
ditutup bermula pada 9 November 2020 sehingga ke hari akhir
persekolahan tahun ini iaitu pada 17 Disember 2020 bagi negeri
Kumpulan A dan 18 Disember 2020 bagi negeri Kumpulan B.
Langkah ini diambil bagi membantu usaha Kerajaan memutuskan
rantaian penularan jangkitan wabak COVID-19.
7. Sepanjang tempoh penutupan tersebut, pengajaran dan
pembelajaran akan tetap diteruskan secara Home-based Learning
mengikut kesesuaian guru dan murid. Pentadbir sekolah perlu
memastikan guru serta murid melaksanakan pengajaran dan
pembelajaran di rumah. Di sepanjang tempoh ini juga, guru perlu
kekal berada di stesen tempat bertugas masing-masing.
8. Bagi murid yang tinggal di asrama pula, ibu bapa atau penjaga perlu
mengambil mereka untuk pulang ke rumah masing-masing. Walau
bagaimanapun, murid boleh terus kekal berada di asrama
sementara menunggu untuk diambil oleh ibu bapa atau penjaga. Di
sepanjang tempoh tersebut, murid akan berada di bawah
pengawasan warden asrama. Keperluan makan dan minum murid
sepanjang tempoh tersebut akan disediakan oleh pihak sekolah.
9. Sepertimana Takwim Penggal dan Cuti Persekolahan Tahun 2021
yang diumumkan sebelum ini, penggal persekolahan akan bermula
pada 20 Januari 2021. Semua murid sekolah rendah akan
memulakan sesi persekolahan secara bersemuka pada tarikh
tersebut. Bagi sekolah menengah pula, murid Tingkatan 1,
Tingkatan 4, Tingkatan 5 dan Tingkatan 6 serta semua murid Kolej
Vokasional akan memulakan persekolahan secara bersemuka
pada tarikh yang sama. Manakala, murid Tingkatan 2 dan
Tingkatan 3 akan memulakan sesi persekolahan pada tarikh yang
sama tetapi secara Home-based Learning mengikut kesesuaian
guru dan murid. Mereka akan kembali ke sekolah untuk sesi
pembelajaran secara bersemuka pada 8 Mac 2021.
10. Tentunya calon Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), Sijil Vokasional
Malaysia (SVM), Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia (STPM) dan
Sijil Tinggi Agama Malaysia (STAM) tahun 2020 tertanya-tanya
sama ada perkembangan situasi ketika ini memberi kesan kepada
mereka?
11. Mengambil kira situasi semasa, KPM telah membuat keputusan
untuk meminda tarikh peperiksaan tersebut. Peperiksaan
SPM/SVM/STAM akan bermula pada 22 Februari 2021. Manakala,
peperiksaan STPM pula akan bermula pada 8 Mac 2021. Perincian
tentang semua peperiksaan awam ini akan dimaklumkan dalam
masa yang terdekat.
12. Bagi membantu calon-calon peperiksaan awam tahun 2020
membuat persediaan secukupnya sebelum menduduki
peperiksaan, KPM memutuskan bahawa mereka akan
menyambung persekolahan secara bersemuka di sekolah masingmasing mulai 20 Januari 2021. KPM berharap ruang yang ada ini
akan dapat memberi manfaat kepada calon yang terkesan dengan
penutupan sekolah.
13. Kesemua ketetapan ini juga terpakai kepada sekolah swasta dan
mana-mana institusi pendidikan yang berdaftar dengan KPM. Bagi
sekolah yang tidak berdaftar dengan KPM pula, mereka juga
disaran untuk mengikuti ketetapan ini.
14. Terdapat persoalan yang telah dibangkitkan mengenai kemasukan
murid ke sekolah khusus termasuk Sekolah Berasrama Penuh,
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Agama, Sekolah Menengah
Teknik, Kolej Vokasional dan Maktab Tentera Di Raja. Untuk
makluman, pelaksanaan Pentaksiran Kemasukan Sekolah Khusus
(PKSK) bagi Tingkatan Satu dan Tingkatan Empat ditangguhkan
kepada suatu tarikh yang akan dimaklumkan kelak.
15. Selain daripada itu, terdapat juga pertanyaan berkaitan
peperiksaan percubaan SPM, kerja kursus serta pentaksiran yang
telah dijadualkan sehingga Disember 2020 yang masih belum
diselesaikan. KPM akan menjadualkan semula semua pentaksiran
tersebut dan akan dimaklumkan kemudian.
16. Terdapat juga pertanyaan berkaitan dengan kemasukan ke institusi
pengajian tinggi awam dan institusi peringkat tertiari awam yang
lain bagi tahun 2021. Untuk makluman, penjadualan semula
peperiksaan awam ini tidak akan menjejaskan kemasukan murid ke
institusi peringkat tertiari awam serta kemasukan murid ke institusi
pengajian tinggi awam melalui sistem UPUOnline yang
dikendalikan oleh Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi (KPT).

Pengoperasian Kolej Matrikulasi dan Institut Pendidikan Guru
(IPG)
17. Bagi pelajar Program Matrikulasi KPM dan pelajar Institut
Pendidikan Guru (IPG), mereka akan meneruskan pembelajaran
secara dalam talian sepenuhnya dan melakukan ulang kaji kendiri
sehingga 31 Disember 2020.
18. Pelajar Program Matrikulasi KPM akan kembali semula ke kolej dan
meneruskan program pada 4 Januari 2021. Ujian Malaysian
University English Test (MUET) untuk pelajar matrikulasi yang
dijadualkan pada 8 hingga 19 Disember 2020 akan ditangguhkan
ke tahun 2021.
19. Bagi pelajar IPG, penyampaian pengajaran dan pembelajaran serta
pentaksiran bagi semua program pengajian akan dilaksanakan
seperti dalam kalendar akademik Program Pendidikan Guru Sesi
2020/2021 dan Sesi 2021/2022. Pelajar IPG akan kembali ke
kampus dan meneruskan pengajian pada 17 Januari 2021.
20. Dalam mendepani cabaran pada masa ini, kami memohon jasa baik
dan kerjasama semua pihak untuk bersama-sama mendukung
usaha-usaha yang dilaksanakan oleh KPM. Yakinlah bahawa
setiap langkah yang diatur KPM adalah bagi memastikan generasi
masa depan negara mendapat pendidikan yang terbaik walaupun
dalam keadaan yang sangat mencabar.
21. Saya juga ingin menyeru kepada semua warga KPM, ibu bapa dan
penjaga agar terus mematuhi arahan Majlis Keselamatan Negara
(MKN) dan Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia (KKM) bagi
membendung penularan wabak COVID-19.
22. Marilah kita doakan agar keadaan kembali pulih dan pembelajaran
anak-anak kita untuk sesi akan datang dapat diteruskan dalam
keadaan selamat.
Sekian, terima kasih.

LEANDRO ON FIRE AS PERAK WHIP KELANTAN UNITED 4-0

PETALING JAYA, 7 Nov – Kelantan United’s Malaysia Cup hopes disappeared into thin air at the Perak Stadium in Ipoh as Perak handed the Kelantan outfit a 4-0 in their first round Malaysia Cup match on Saturday.
Perak the Malaysia Cup champion in 2018 will now face Terengganu in the quarter-finals under the new format played on a knockout basis due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Terengganu who lost to Perak in the 2018 final, scraped through a 1-0 win against Petaling Jaya City FC at the Sultan Mizan Stadium in Gong Badak, Kuala Terengganu.
Uzbek midfielder, Sanjar Shaakhmedov capitalized on a poor pass by PJ City defender, Kim Bong Jin to slot home past goalkeeper Kalamullah Al-Hafiz for the only goal of the match which was delayed for about 30 minutes due to a technical fault.
Brazilian midfielder, Leandro dos Santos single-handedly destroyed Kelantan United with a hattrick.
He got his first as early as the sixth minute and never looked back after that – firing another two in the 20th and 48th minutes respectively.
Careca completed the rout for Perak when he blasted the fourth goal in injury time on a night Perak coach Mehmet Durakovic was more than pleased with the overall performance of his team.
“Good score but it was not an easy match but I am pleased with the way my players responded and made full use of the opportunities that came our way,” said Mehmet who is well aware of the tough next match for a place in the last four.

PLAYERS MOVED OUT FROM THEIR COMFORT ZONE – MISBUN

KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Nov – Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM) Youth Development Director, Datuk Misbun Sidek once again expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the players who took part in the Play-off Round of the 100PLUS National Youth Ranking Challenge 2020 which ended at Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara yesterday.

His conclusion came about after comparing the performances of the same set of players who had taken part in the 100PLUS National Youth Ranking Challenge 2020 held from October 12 to 16.

“I noticed that several players stood out in that they moved out of their comfort zone. Some of them did not do well at the last tournament in October. But this time, they showed a lot of determination and put up a much better game plan,” said Misbun.

“Overall, the quality of their matches was much better and I felt that their stamina and staying prowess are on the right path.”

Misbun added that, there seems to be a positive impact from having all these teenage players being ‘camped’ at the Malaysian Badminton Academy (ABM) due to the Covid-19 pandemic since last July.

The training modules and systems that were put in place by the coaching panel seems to be on the right track.

As Misbun had mentioned previously, the question of winning or losing was not the main focus as compared to the need of these young players to learn and build their charisma.

The Play-off Round of the 100PLUS National Youth Ranking Challenge 2020 took place at the Bukit Kiara from November 4 to 6 and was held behind closed doors.

A total of 24 players took part in this Play-off Round to determine their ranking in the national youth team.

This is the second internal competition organised by BAM after the Group Stage competition of the 100PLUS National Youth Ranking Challenge 2020 which took place from October 12 to 16.

MALAYSIA CUP JOURNEY BEGINS WITH WINS FOR JDT, KEDAH AND PENANG

PETALING JAYA, 7 Nov – It was heartbreak for Pahang in Alor Setar while defending champion, Johor Darul Takzim (JDT) struggled to a 1-0 win over newcomers Kuching FA in Larkin and newly-crowned Premier League champions Penang roared to a 3-1 win against Felda United at the City Stadium.
The drama was at the Darulaman Stadium in Alor Setar where Pahang exited the Malaysia Cup through their own follies on a night when Dickson Nwakaeme muffed a penalty as the Elephants crashed to a 3-2 defeat to last year’s runners-up Kedah.
The Red Eagles swept to a 3-0 lead before the break but Pahang staged a fightback in the second-half – leaving coach Dollah Salleh a shattered man on the bench.
“We did not click in the first half…we gave away soft goals. When we ‘woke-up’ after the break, it was already too late to rectify the damage,” said Dollah who refused to be drawn into comments on Dickson’s missed penalty.
”This is football and such things happen in the game.”
Dickson sent his spot-kick crashing against the bar in the 79th minute when Pahang had pulled one back on 48 minutes through Muslim Ahmad via a header from a freekick by Nor Azam Azih.
Faizal Rani did score for Pahang in the 88th minute but it was too late for the Elephants but it was all in vain as Kedah rode on first-half strikes from Shakir Hamzah (17th), Kpah Sherman (36th), and Kipre Tchetche (44th).
Rookie Arif Aiman was the toast of the Southern Tigers at the Larkin Stadium when he netted the winner in the 19th minute to take the champions to the quarter-finals.
For Penang, it was another show of their arrival on the big scene when the Panthers outplayed Felda United with Anselmo Casagrande opening the floodgates after 37 minutes.
Felda did fight back to equalize through Nicolas Velez but Penang ruled with two more goals which came from Amer Azhar (62nd) and Lee Chang-Hoon (76th).
