Critic warns M-League football fans will turn to other sports
KUALA LUMPUR: The M-League is in danger of being labelled as a tainted product. That means it can lead to fans drifting away from the league and sponsors not having anything to do with it. There have been repeated sanctions from Fifa on M-League clubs, and this is tarnishing the image of Malaysian football. In recent years, the world body has slapped transfer bans on nine Malaysian clubs — Terengganu FC, Kelantan Darul Naim, Kelantan FC, Kelantan FA, PT Athletic FC, Sarawak United, Perlis, Melaka United FC, and Perlis — over financial issues and regulatory breaches. Sports observer Sadek Mustaffa said these continuous issues besetting the M-League will turn both the fans and potential sponsors away. "Issues like this affect the M-League's market value. "How would the sponsors feel with these issues? This happens almost every year," said Sadek. "The broadcast value (for matches) will be affected too and all this will result in lesser income to M-League clubs. "Foreign players will also be reluctant to play in the M-League due to this bad image." He warned that the fans will shift to other sports, and football popularity will go down and the football industry will be impacted. Sadek said the FA of Malaysia (FAM) and the Malaysian Football League (MFL) need to improve their efforts to safeguard Malaysia's football image. "The stakeholders need to be accountable for this problem, they need to look at the gate collections or fan attendance at the stadiums. "The crowd is no more like before and it's dwindling every season," said Sadek. "If you look at the overall numbers, it's not really positive. Even at the last Malaysia Cup final in Bukit Jalil, the tickets were not sold out. "FAM and MFL need to look at this seriously, they need to come out with measures to deal with these issues. "Clubs just cannot be repeat offenders, there's club licensing but we still have the problem of unpaid wages. "Things need to change with monitoring and enforcement on errant teams."

Mohamed Sadek's ‘Taha Al-Ghareeb' to Be Adapted for the Big Screen
The novel, which explores themes of youth and identity, will be turned into a film starring Hassan El Raddad and Mai Omar. Apr 11, 2025 Egyptian novelist Mohamed Sadek's third published work, 'Taha Al-Ghareeb', is being adapted into a feature-length film, following in the footsteps of his previous novels 'Hepta' and 'A Few Hours in One Day'. The new adaptation will be directed by Othman Abou Laban and produced by prominent Egyptian producer Ahmed El-Sobky. Lead roles will be played by Hassan El Raddad and Mai Omar. First published in 2023, Taha Al-Ghareeb examines the psychological and emotional complexities of its protagonist, Taha, as he navigates isolation, the weight of his dreams, and the profound impact of change. In Sadek's signature style, the story weaves a deeply introspective narrative that touches on themes of depression, hope, and the resilience of the human spirit. The film marks a renewed collaboration between Sadek and director Abou Laban, who previously teamed up for the adaptation of 'Beda'a Sa'at Fi Yawmen Ma' ('A Few Hours in One Day')—a romantic drama that found success at the Egyptian box office. Sadek first rose to prominence with his breakout novel 'Hepta', which became a bestseller before being adapted into a highly acclaimed film in 2016. The success of that adaptation cemented his reputation as one of the few contemporary Arabic authors whose works consistently translate to the screen. Production for Taha Al-Ghareeb is expected to begin later this year

MP Waddah Sadek to LBCI: Hezbollah stands isolated within Lebanon, with its community frustrated
MP Waddah Sadek confirmed his decision to grant confidence to the new government but cautioned that his stance could change if the administration fails to fulfill its promises. In an interview with LBCI, Sadek stated that 80% of the ministerial statement aligns with his political demands. However, he warned that he and his allies would transition to the opposition if the government did not implement its commitments. Addressing Hezbollah's political role, Sadek criticized the group for signing an agreement that he believes has placed Lebanon in a difficult position. He described this as a series of miscalculations contributing to the country's collapse. Sadek emphasized that the core issue with Hezbollah lies in its imposition of decisions by force on the Lebanese people. He further argued that Hezbollah now stands isolated within Lebanon, with its own community increasingly frustrated by the consequences of its past decisions.
