At times, or rather most of the time, the MHC administration is accused of being so slow in acting on matters.
But
take a look at the circular they sent out on the 2013 Malaysian Hockey
League. Yup you read it right, the letter is dated January 1, 2013 but
was emailed out today.
And
that is not all, the circular is so shallow that a club actually
emailed asking the following questions, which are valid points.
How many teams to play in Premier and Div 1
Which are team to play in Premier
How will the game be played –home and away or only at KL
Games to play only on weekend or even during normal days
What is the subsidy for the Premier Div Team
What is the subsidy for the Div One team
Price money for each category
Umpiring improvement plan, same as this year or we have any changes such as video or third umpire as reference
Media publicity for the participating teams
Players insurance due to injury during game
Who will sit in the organizing committee, will the team repsentitive will be included in the organizing committee
What is the plan for MHC to make this tournament the success one
Plans to attract crowd to watch games, we r playing in empty stadium
Medical assistance for teams from MHC
Will this league be better league than the last few previous year or just another calendar date to fulfill.
Ironically
that is not all the inadequate issues the circular is guilty of for it
is mentioned that each club will receive the RM2,000 as subsidy for
using the sponsors logo. But whatever happened to the RM2,000 for the
2012 season which teams have yet to receive till today?
The
President of MHC Tengku Abdullah promised a revamped MHL, but what the
clubs are getting is recycled circulars as the Competitions Committee
under the new leadership of M. Gobinathan seems to have gone into a
slumber if they are dishing out re-runs.
The
MHL is a marketable product but when you let personalities that could
not care less about the sport, then you get have baked ideas as well.
Over
to you President, live up to your word of improving the MHL. These
questions beg for an answer and there are more then doubts your people
know what they are saying right now.,
