Unveiling True Leadership: A Call to Action for State Associations

In the realm of Malaysian hockey, the dawn of transformation beckons with the steadfast leadership of YBhg. Dato’ Sri Subahan Kamal and Dato' Majid Manjit bin Abdullah at the helm of the Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC). Amidst their tireless dedication and unwavering commitment, a glaring disparity emerges – the sluggish pace of progress at the state level. While these visionary leaders invest invaluable time, effort, and resources into the development of hockey, a chorus of critics persists in casting shadows of doubt upon the MHC. Yet, amidst the cacophony of dissent, true leaders emerge, forging ahead with a clear vision and unwavering resolve. It is time for state associations to rise to the occasion, to heed the clarion call for action and accountability. What has become of your development plans? Where are your tournaments, your leagues, your initiatives to nurture the next generation of hockey stars? In the face of adversity, true leadership shines brightest. YBhg. Dato’ Sri Subahan Kamal and Dato' Majid Manjit bin Abdullah and team epitomize this ethos, leading by example and inspiring a nation to rally behind their vision for Malaysian hockey. Now, the onus falls upon state associations to step up, to rise above complacency and inertia, and to embrace the mantle of leadership with courage and conviction. Let us not squander the opportunity to build a legacy worthy of our nation's sporting heritage. Now a question to the state: 1. Where’s your league? 2. Where’s your development plans? 3. Where’s are your camps and skills sharing? 4. Where are your youths, 2nd team, clubs and workshops? 5. What have you done to build the pool of players Malaysia needs now? 6. How many teams and players from your state played in the Junior or National Leagues? 7. How did the training for the Razak Cup come about? 1 week, 5 days or just pick and go for a holiday? 8. Do you actually have a blue print for development? 9. Is your committee committed to development or just for the show and dramas?
