WHAT'S NEWS, WHAT'S NOT

Much has been reported over the past few weeks with regards to the Champions Youth Cup (CYC), the Sepang International Circuit (SIC), the cash flow problems at the National Sports Council, the Chelsea Tour with the two Jews in the Chelsea Team, the departure of Dato Punch Gunalan from WBF and not forgetting the Bribery Scandal that affects Malaysian Football.

Ironically some of the facts stated were not the truth of what actually transpired and while we applaud the exposure of wrong doings by some quarters, the facts must and out to be stated. Lets try to digest each of the issue and weigh the merits of the argument put forward with maturity.

CYC
Why is Jonathan Price so quiet after the FAM had said that they were not going to sanction the event? Is there something that he is not telling us yet? Was there an approval of 3 years granted in the first place? Is it true that what FIFA gave was tournament rights and not sanction? Did the former FAM office bearers sign any document to state a three year sanction was granted? Has this got to do with the fact that someone is not telling the truth? Why are the Cabinet Committee being implicated when their Terms of Reference does not cater for approvals on hosting events?

SIC
Why did the Minister of Youth and Sports not decline the invite in the first place? Could he have delegated the matter to his Deputy if it was a party issue? Why has Dato Mokhzani not quit as a gentleman? Why give an undated letter of resignation to the PM if the issue today is that the post is not a party matter?

NSC
Is there an agenda to remove Dato Zolkples Embong as NSC DG because he is not playing to the tune of some quarters? How is it that confidential information from NSC is being leaked out? Is it true that a Director harbours the hope of replacing Dato Zolkples hence the revelation of these so called expenditure? Why is the finger being pointed at Dato Dr. Ramlan? Remember the Kennedy assassination - the guilty ones hide in the misty woods...

Chelsea Tour
Will the group of the 21 Muslim Associations now turn up for the match since the two Jews are no longer in the team? Will Chelsea have Mancini on the bench when they play in Malaysia? Why is the match not being played at the Bukit Jalil Stadium?

Dato Punch Gunalan
Et Tu Brutus? Dato Punch has fallen victim to the Indian Crab Syndromme as his exit was planned by Malaysians? If he has done so many wrongs, why has he not being sent to face the DB?

Cabinet Committee
Why has no one published the Terms of Reference of the Committee in the first place when it was made public after the first meeting hed on November 8 at Putrajaya? Why blame the DPM when the truth as to who is behind it in the first place being ignored?

So there goes, so many unanswered questions and one day hopefully the truth will prevail, it always does.
