FAM hope to see results in 10 years !

I read with amusement - Star Sport on the 26th. May 2006 (Page S66) of the national team bearing fruits in 10 years !!
'The FAM,working hand-in-hand for the first time with the National Sports Council(NSC),
FEEL that they have got the right plan to put Malaysian football back on the right track for glory again.'
Come on you guys, WHAT glory are we talking about here ?? and you mean only now football has been included(by way of a MoU) as a core sports under the national agenda to qualify for a HUGE monetary boost ?
Footballing is not something 'NEW' as the FAM general secretary Datuk Dr. Ibrahim Saad said. It's been played from the earliest memories of our childhood lah,in schools right back from even the childhood days of your dads' lah... come onnnnlah !!!!
The deal of RM 5.5 million sure can't get these 30 odd boys in good shape and morale for long as complacency sets in from the word "Go". And why 10 years ? In our country , policies and mooted ideas change with every wave of elections(be it in local or at national level)
Then some nagging questions creeps up to me,"Can we actually make racehorses out of asses" ??? (NO pun intended !)

Howdy Mr Stephen (are you Mr Stephen Dey of LaSalle, by the way?),
The problem with the people at the Fam is that they are NOT beer drinkers. If you ask me, Sir, I they should quit their wine and cigars and mix with the Rakyat more. That way they CARE more for what people think of how they are wasting the taxpayers' MONEY!

lo! another beer drinker on the house!! you sound quite sloshed, shanghai man. as for the EF-AM, you are right. 10 years! and what/which right track? if 10 years needed to win gold at the Sea Games, wah, not bad what. but i have a feeling they mean 10 years from now we will qualify for the World Cup. or maybe they are talking about our girls' team. out girls sure can kick ass!! let sisters in islam play, they'll make mincemeat of MyTeam, the KJ outfiet. EF-AM is a, EF-stands-not-for-Fabulous, man. let fencing take the initials FAM (Fencing Association of Malaysia), that's the first thing we should do to better Malaysian football.
In other words, it's impossible.
Drink on buddy. Cheers.

Everytime FAM gets flak, they either say that they are listening to all the comments or that they will implement a plan ( like the 10 year plan). Hey! who are they kidding? I am sure that they would have seen the support they received vs My Team last week.That is the rakyat protesting against FAM!
After 2 defeats to Singapore in the Causeway Challenge, although on penalties, they now say that our target is the Asian Cup next year!! So...
