The dinner also saw a speech by Haidar one of Malaysia's top cyclist who is a member of Le Tua, the most successful cycling group in Malaysia.
Haidar has achieved a whole lot - the introduction included a string of awards that went by too fast for me to take down. He is a true blue anak Kemamam, and spoke on how he had succeeded, hopefully inspiring the young people there, many of them orphans, disabled or from very poor families.
He did a good job although he was very bashful.
From a communications perspective our sportsmen need to be trained to speak well. They've done the country proud and need to be equipped to get that message across well and inspire the next generation. Also speaking well will help them when it comes to securing sponsors, and making the sport more marketable. This is what I've noticed from attending sports launches - our sports people except for a notable few are not able to explain their sport, their strategy or support their sponsors well. This is an area that needs lots of work.
If I spell his name wrongly or not in full, please let me know -I've learnt that Keegoisman Membawa Padah, and can accept correction.
Here's Haidar during the speech.
