Pakistan not invited for Sultan Azlan Shah hockey cup by Malaysia due to...
Malaysian Hockey Federation has not extended invitation to Pakistan for Azlan Shah Cup. New Delhi: Due to outstanding payments of $10,349 owed by the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) to the Johar Hockey Association, Malaysia has not invited Pakistan to participate in this year's Azlan Shah Cup. The Johar Association has formally notified the PHF of this debt, which covers expenses incurred during a team visit to Malaysia in October 2023. The Pakistan hockey team, accompanied by PHF officials and their families, traveled to Malaysia to participate in the Johar Hockey Cup. 'While the team's stay and expenses were to be borne by the organisers, the PHF officials which included the former President were told clearly they would have to clear all expenses themselves. These officials also stayed at the same luxury hotel where the teams were staying,' said the source. The Johar association has raised concerns with the Malaysian federation regarding outstanding dues, and has warned of further action with the FIH if the payments remain unsettled. 'The current PHF President and his team are in a fix because the federation is already cash strapped and they were not aware of these expenses by former PHF officials,' the source said. The Sultan Azlan Shah Cup hockey tournament will take place in Ipoh from November 22nd to 29th.

Pakistan Not Invited For Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey Cup By Malaysia. Reason Is...
The Malaysian Hockey Federation has not extended invitation to Pakistan for the annual Azlan Shah Cup in the wake of non-payment of dues to the tune of USD 10,349 to the Johar Hockey Association. A source in the Pakistan Hockey Federation (PHF) said the Johar Association has sent a stern official letter to the PHF regrading the dues it needs to pay for the accommodation, travel and other expenses of PHF officials and their families who went to Malaysia with the team in October 2023. The Pakistan team had gone to Malaysia to play in the Johar hockey cup and the PHF officials including their families also accompanied the team. "While the team's stay and expenses were to be borne by the organisers, the PHF officials which included the former President were told clearly they would have to clear all expenses themselves. These officials also stayed at the same luxury hotel where the teams were staying," said the source. The Johar association has already taken up the issue with the Malaysian federation and has threatened to take the matter to the FIH if dues are not cleared. "The current PHF President and his team are in a fix because the federation is already cash strapped and they were not aware of these expenses by former PHF officials," the source said.

Farewell Mazlan Ahmad, true sports leader who was tough, fair, and unforgettable
'Troublemaker sudah sampai.' (The troublemaker has arrived). That was how the late Datuk Wira Mazlan Ahmad once greeted me when I attended one of his press conferences over 20 years ago. Mazlan was then the director-general of the National Sports Council (NSC), and I was working with one of the English dailies. But far from being vindictive or angry, Mazlan chided me with a wry smile. Although I didn't do the 'NSC beat', I had many disagreements with Mazlan about how the government agency handled hockey. He took offence at several articles, especially those concerning NSC and Malaysian Hockey Federation (now Malaysian Hockey Confederation). But despite his displeasure, Mazlan never held a grudge. Sure, there were times he would call to lambast me for the reports, but we were back to friendly terms the next time we met. We were the best of 'frenemies'. Unlike modern-day officials who are hati tisu (overly sensitive), or have big egos and no qualms about threatening legal action if they don't like an article – or even kicking reporters out of WhatsApp groups – Mazlan respected and understood what journalists did. He could dish it out and take it on the chin if the criticisms were warranted. The news that Mazlan passed away yesterday, aged 76, hit hard. It has been years since we last spoke, and I regret not going to see him. Malaysian sports has lost a leading light – someone who led from the front and was instrumental in reshaping how we approached sports. He joined NSC in 1983 and was its fifth director-general, serving from 1993 to 2005. He was one of those who developed the successful Jaya '98 programme to prepare national athletes for the 1998 Commonwealth Games. The five-year programme saw Malaysia win 10 gold medals at the 1998 Games. Jaya '98 was the precursor to other programmes like the Road to London, Road to Rio and now Road to Gold, aimed at winning gold medals at Olympic Games and other multisport games. Jaya '98 was by far the most successful elite sports programme Malaysia has ever seen, as its spillover effect remains evident today. Mazlan was laid to rest this morning at Tanah Perkuburan Islam, Section 9, Kota Damansara, Selangor. Goodbye, dear sir. May you rest in peace.
