Errant athletes VERSUS Exams
Whoa .. I really don't know what to make of this .. NST, July 12, 2006 (by Ranjini Thangaraju) - "ATHLETES who have to date benefited from the Doha 2006 programme but decline to compete in the Asian Games to concentrate on year-end exams will be axed from the programme immediately.The National Sports Council (NSC) has decided to get tough with these athletes as they signed the contracts fully aware that national exams, such as the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM), coincide with the Sea Games and Asian Games. NSC director-general Datuk Dr. Ramlan Aziz added that prior to renewing their contracts, athletes should first be aware of their calendar for the year." Hmmm .. this is a tough one. Can one CHANGE their mind? and decide otherwise ... Is this person paying from his OWN pocket for the training of these athletes? Is this a catastrophe? This are normal occurances of life ... BUT ... nooo ... the authority must act tough .. it is ALL about officialdom again ... and on small and little things .. No doubt it is a contract of sort, but not a biblical one, it is human made, and contracts can be altered and amended, based on circumstances, what is the big deal here ... Let us get tough on BIG things, like sugar smuggling, illegal logging, abuse of power by people in power, big fat ego of officials, the little Napoleans ... aiyaa, tak tau lah ...
