Updates on the website

To all MALB Fans and supporters.

Thank you for your kind support through all these time. We've been facing difficulties in geting a full time webmaster to update the website, and we've just integrated a new self-made software to input all statistic data onto the stats section of the website. Hopefully, after this, there would'nt be anymore problems in regards to website updates. Latest by wednesdays.

MALB Secretariat would like to extend their greatest gratitude to all supporters and fans, that have shown their undieng support towards the league, with hope that one day, MALB will be equivalent to MLB. Hail MALB!!!

We hope to see more team participation next year. We are also trying to penetrate schools (secondary level) around the Klang Valley, targeting at developing Baseball at grass root level. We want to achieve maximum coverage so that we'd be able to start the Minor League for the 2007 season. Hopefully.

The Ball is in Play!!!

Last Sunday, we witnessed the historic moment for Malaysian Baseball when we launched the inaugural Malaysian All-Star League Baseball (MALB) for its first season of 2006. Y.Bhg Dato' Noh Abdullah, the President of the Baseball Federation of Malaysia gave an opening speech, addressed to almost all members of the participating teams, witnessed by a humble crowd of suppoters and fans.

Aces of Kepong, Stars of Selayang, All-Stars and Diamond of Kuala Lumpur turned up in full Baseball jerseys, with high spirits, played the inaugural 2 games. Aces created history when they won the 1st match of the 1st season, beating Stars of Selayang in a tough match, edging them 9 to 7. The second game was between siblings (All-Stars and Diamond team are owned by the Malaysian All-Star Baseball Club), which interestingly saw the 13 member All-Stars team trashing the 16 member Diamond team, 21 to 11.

League standings, All-Stars lead the race, closely followed by Aces, Stars and Diamond. This coming Sunday (5th March 2006) promises another exciting 2 matches, set between Bat Magnum vs Noble and Stars vs All-Stars. The second game could be an interesting one, watching the Coach going against its students (All-Stars and Diamond teams were jointly coached by Stars and Cougars, where they regularly hold centralized training sessions in Pandan and Keramat.)

On behalf of the Secretariat, I'm extremely proud to see the show of support by all participating teams, namely Aces (whom have never participated in any local Baseball tournaments before), Stars (one of the Baseball supremo teams in Malaysia), Bat Magnum (a team sponsored by Magnum Corporation), Noble (a new team consisting of senior and experienced players), Diamond (a young, eager team of players) and All-Stars (a good mix of artiste, junior, senior and professional citizens of Malaysia).

Remember, its not about who wins and who looses. Its about having fun, getting to know each other, tightening the bond between local teams, and dignifying Baseball in the eyes of Malaysia.

Full Responsibility of Claims

I hereby admit that I was the one that wrote the earlier posted now removed Clarifications of Opportunities. I was told by the MALB League CEO that various parties had been offended by the posting, thus I apologize of causing such greviance.

However, I do wonder, at which part of my posting that these parties feel offended. In my comments, there was no slander or malicious statements made. It was true that the party involved had initially agreed to participate verbally but retracted their commitment when the Department Head did not give the go ahead.

What concerns me is that the complaint made to the MALB League CEO was not directly from the party mentioned but through a third party in which I could not figure their line of relationship in the first place. Anyways, out of respect to the MALB League CEO and those hardworking people in the MALB Secretariat, I retract such malicious or slandering statement (if I had made any) and deeply apologize for any inconvenience caused.

However, let me remind everyone that Malaysia is a free country and freedom of speech is applicable except when sensitive issues such as racial or religious agendas are brought up. That, I myself will champion for keeping the harmony that Malaysia has preserved by telling them to shut up.

Definitely not the last from me.
