‘HIDDEN HANDS’ SPELL DANGER TO SELANGOR HOPES

PETALING JAYA, 31 Aug – Things are certainly not going right for former Malaysian football kingpins Selangor who, for the second successive time, will face “wounded tigers” when they take on Sabah at the Likas Stadium in Kota Kinabalu in this Friday’s Super League match.
Sabah suffered a 4-0 beating at the hands of Terengganu in Kuala Terengganu on Saturday on a night when Selangor fought a scoreless draw against Petaling Jaya City FC at their new home venue at the UiTM Stadium.
A week earlier PJ City was handed a 2-0 defeat by Terengganu in a postponed match which was played at the Petaling Jaya Stadium in Kelana Jaya.
For Selangor, it was tough playing “wounded tigers” PJ City after their loss to Terengganu.
And it will be another toughie for the Red Giants when they play “wounded” Sabah.  Selangor head coach B. Sathianathan is headed into another storm knowing that there are a lot of things that are going against him but so far he has managed to put up a brave front to face the odds.
The management of the Selangor team chucked “professionalism” out of the window Selangor FA secretary Dr. Johan Kamal Hamidon revealed that Sathianathan’s job as the head coach will be reviewed when his present contract ends at the end of this year.
One wonders at the timing of the announcement – days before the Red Giants went into the fray against PJ City when the league resumed.
There is no denying that it has been tough going for Sathianathan, a former national coach who is known for his no-nonsense stand. Fans backed by those with a vested interest have used race and religion to have a go at him and his family on social media.
One also wonders if the management of Selangor is run by the fans or professionals? Or there are “hidden hands” in the management who will make big bucks by bringing in a “Mat Salleh” as a coach. There is no guarantee that a “Mat Salleh” can bring the desired results. Even if he fails he will get his big fat pay cheque and say goodbye with no questions asked. This is the norm in Malaysian sports.
Let us not forget that in the past, and even now, there have been cases where the management “milked” the FA dry but in the end, it is the players who suffered due to unpaid salaries.
Sathianathan knows that he will have his hands full for the Sabah tie after the East Malaysians’ big defeat in Kuala Terengganu. The former national coach has watched the video recording of the Terengganu-Sabah match over and over again to prepare his team for the cruncher at Likas.
“The scoreline looks flattering for Terengganu but Sabah gave away soft goals. Just like PJ City our opponents (Sabah) this Friday are wounded. It spells danger and we are in for another tough match,” said Sathianathan.
“I am a team coach and I don’t care about my future. The management can do what they want. I give 100 percent and don’t take a day off. The players know that and they have done the same.”
With the draw against PJ City, the Red Giants are in eighth place on goal difference in the league after five matches. The other teams on six points are sixth-placed Melaka and seventh-placed Pahang.

N. SEMBILAN SHATTER TERENGGANU FC’s UNBEATEN RECORD

PETALING JAYA, 29 Aug – A late, late goal by substitute Izaaq Izhan Yuswardi deep into added time gave Negri Sembilan a 1-0 win over previously unbeaten Terengganu FC II in their Premier League match at the Tuanku Abdul Rahman Stadium in Paroi on Friday.
Izaaq headed in a freekick floated in by Shunsuke Nakatake after the former came on for the injured Sahrom Kalam. He did not waste the golden opportunity that came his way and the full points could not have come at a time when N. Sembilan next travel away to face Penang on Friday.
N. Sembilan head coach Sazali Saidon (pic), while heaping praise on his charges for their commitment and discipline on the field, however, warned that the battle has begun in their quest for a top-two finish.
”It is a confidence booster win against Terengganu. They came with an unbeaten record and were favorites but we too had a mission and accomplished it with full points. Taking a point off Terengganu would have been a bonus for us,” said Sazali from Seremban.
”Defensively we also did well to contain the visitors. Now we have to prepare for the Penang match…our first away match which will be a test for us.
“We must be carried away with the win over Terengganu but instead work on the shortcomings that showed up in the match. Wasting chances in front of the goal can be costly.”
At the KLFA Stadium in Cheras, the City Boys carved out a 2-1 win over UKM FC – taking the team to second place in the 12-team league.
Terengganu FC II, despite the defeat, remains on top with 12 points from five matches with KL a point behind with 11 points.
Selangor II hammered Kuching FA 4-1 in a big scoring match at the State Stadium in Kuching in another Premier League encounter.

MPS President, Wong Foo Tin (center) receiving the application from Johnson Koh witnessed by Simon Wong.
KUALA LUMPUR, 30 Aug – The Sandakan District Tennis Association yesterday met the new Sandakan Municipal Council President,  Wong Foo Tin at his office to submit the application for the lease extension of the SDTA clubhouse and tennis courts for another 25 years.
Foo Tin welcomed SDTA patron Johnson Koh, who is also Sabah Tennis Association President, and SDTA exco member, Simon Wong to brief him on the details of the application and the association’s main activities.
Johnson, who described Foo Tin as ”approachable and friendly” has given assurance that he will look into the matter and table it in the next meeting for further approval.
At the same time, Johnson said SDTA is looking for funds and sponsors for ”development programs and courts upgrading” and the lease extension is very crucial for these purposes.
Sabah is one of the most proactive states in tennis and has several up and coming players who are making a strong claim in the local and overseas tournaments.

TERENGGANU, KEDAH WIN, SELANGOR HELD IN SUPER LEAGUE MATCHES

PETALING JAYA, 29 Aug – Mauritania striker Dominique Da Sylva continued with his fine scoring form as he helped Terengganu to a massive 4-0 win over Sabah while Ivory Coast hitman Kipre Tchetche hit a brace in Kedah’s 2-0 win over Police and Selangor shared the spoils with Petaling Jaya City FC in Saturday’s Super League matches.
With seven goals to his credit, Da Sylva is the Super League’s top scorer – netting four in his team’s 4-3 win over Kedah and two against PJ City last week.
While Da Sylva set the tone with Terengganu’s opening goal at the Sultan Mizan Stadium in Gong Badak after 12 minutes, it was Uzbek midfielder Sanjar Shaakhmedov who stole the show with a brace which came in the 43rd and 71 minutes.
Singapore international Faris Ramli came off the bench to get his name into the scoresheet when he drove him Terengganu’s fourth in the 84th minutes. The win took the Turtles to the second spot with 10 points – three behind leaders Johor Darul Takzim.
Tchetche scored from the penalty spot at the KLFA Stadium in Cheras after half-an-hour and added his second six minutes later for full points for the Red Eagles who are now in the fourth spot with seven points – one behind third-placed Perak.
For Selangor, despite its dominance at their new home venue at the UiTM in Shah Alam, it was a tale of missed chances that denied the Red Giants’ full points much to the chagrin of coach B. Sathianathan.
Selangor next travel to Kota Kinabalu to play Sabah at the Likas Stadium on Sept 4 and Sathianathan is bracing for another tough match against the wounded East Malaysian side after the mauling in Terengganu.

PETALING JAYA, 29 Aug – Six-times champion, Johor Darul Takzim maintained their unbeaten record with a narrow 3-2 win over Pahang at the Darul Makmur Stadium in Kuantan when the Super League resumed on Friday.
However, Perak lost their unbeaten record when the Bos Gauros fell to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Melaka United at the Perak Stadium in Ipoh with Ferris Danial netting the winner in the 52nd minute.
Felda United was another home team to taste defeat on Friday – losing 1-0 to UiTM at the Tun Abdul Razak Stadium in Jengka.
UiTM played their cards right to put pressure on the Fighters and came with full points when Mark Hartmann hammered the winner after 39 minutes.
The plum tie in Kuantan saw JDT taking the lead as early the fifth-minute Argentine midfielder Leandro Velazquez blasted a freekick and Ramadhan Saifullah, promoted to the senior team from JDT II found the net after 15 minutes.
Ramadhan had a hand in JDT’s third goal in the 35th minute when he earned a penalty. Another of JDT’s Argentine imports Gonzalo Cabrera made no mistake from the spot to give the Southern Tigers a commanding 3-0 lead.
However, the Elephants, despite being ill-prepared for the match due to various factors, showed tremendous fighting spirit to pull two goals back in a spate of five minutes to give themselves a fighting chance of saving the match.
Faisal Halim took full advantage of a horrendous error by JDT goalkeeper Farizal Marlias on 41 minutes to roll the ball into the net and deep into injury time before the halftime break French defender Herold Goulon got the second.
Pahang fought hard to get a third goal but JDT held out for a narrow win to keep their place at the top with 13 points after five matches. Despite the defeat, Perak retained their second spot with eight points with Terengganu (four matches) in the third spot with seven points – the same as UiTM.
Melaka and Pahang are in the fifth and sixth spots with six points each from five matches.

BWF TO ADJUST TOURNAMENT CALENDAR FOR WORLD TOUR 2020

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Aug – The Badminton World Federation (BWF) will implement and adjusted tournament calendar for the HSBC BWF World Tour in 2020.

Given the ongoing COVID-19 situation, BWF main concern is to ensure the health and safety of all personnel participating in planned international tournaments.

“We are confident in creating a safe environment around all HSBC BWF World Tour tournaments, however, the main challenge with the existing tournament calendar is our capacity to move participants between different territories where different entry and safety restrictions apply.

Therefore, in light of the exceptional circumstances we find ourselves in, an adjusted tournament calendar has been developed to replace the present HSBC BWF World Tour tournament locations and dates.

In addition, the TOTAL BWF Thomas and Uber Cup Finals in Aarhus, Denmark will remain part of the international tournament calendar and will proceed on the planned dates of 3-11 October 2020.

Thus, following the completion of the TOTAL BWF Thomas and Uber Cup Finals in Weeks 40 and 41 of the tournament calendar, the HSBC BWF World Tour will resume with a two-week European leg in Odense, Denmark to be staged across Weeks 42 and 43.

Both of these tournaments – DANISA Denmark Open I and Denmark Open II – will be Super 750 events.

There will then be a two-week transition time to move the tour and all participants to Asia safely – factoring in the necessary quarantine period – for two Super 1000 tournaments in Weeks 46 and 47, and culminating with the HSBC BWF World Tour Finals in Week 48.

The locations of the three Asian leg tournaments are yet to be announced.

All remaining HSBC BWF World Tour tournaments on the calendar will no longer take place at the dates and locations originally listed.

BWF is working with different Member Associations to explore the feasibility of staging the Asian leg tournaments and a final announcement is expected soon to allow all participants to plan their travel arrangements.

BWF has shared its Safety Protocols and Operating Procedures document outlining the safe return to international badminton to all Member Associations, and will make this document publicly available in a separate announcement tomorrow.

Any breach of these guidelines can result in accreditations being revoked and participants not permitted to enter the venue.

BWF Secretary General, Thomas Lund said: “Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was not possible to implement the revised international tournament calendar for the HSBC BWF World Tour as originally envisaged.

“Managing travel logistics between different territories where different entry and safety
restrictions apply has been the biggest challenge. Therefore, an adjusted tournament calendar was developed.

“Our main concern has always been the health and safety of all participants and we have created a BWF Safety Protocols and Operating Procedures document to guide us in this process.

“We look forward to the return of international badminton and we thank all parties and
participants involved in the planning process.”

Tournaments completed in 2020 will accumulate world ranking points, although such points will only be included with the unfreezing of the World Rankings.

The exact model for the unfreezing of the World Rankings, and how subsequent rankings are structured and valued, will be released shortly.

The updated BWF Tournament Calendar 2020 is now available online.
