JUST as they are tinkering to get their own house in order, Malaysian National
Cycling Federation (MNCF) is now faced with a contrasting tale of two
affiliates.
While Kedah is set to see a new State association being formed and activated
after the Kedah Cycling Association was recently deregistered, MNCF is
dumbfounded over what is happening in Kelantan.
This is because the Kelantan Cycling Association (KCA), inactive apart from
last years Malaysia Games, has been automatically suspended as an MNCF
affiliate for failure to settle its dues for the past three years.
MNCF secretary Ibrahim Mustapha said a pro-tem committee led by former national
coach Omar Saad has already submitted their application to register a new body
for Kedah to the Sports Commissioners Office.
"From my own checks with the Sports Commissioners Office, I believe the new
association is in the process of being approved," said Ibrahim.
"Once that is done, they will apply to become an affiliate. Of course, if the
registration is approved then we will have no objections to its affiliation."
Kedahs former association was among 27 sports bodies deregistered for various
reasons by the Sports Commissioner in a list made available on Aug 15 mainly
for inactivity and failure to respond to instructions from the authorities.
As for Kelantan, Ibrahim said the association had been automatically suspended
for failure to pay its annual dues as an affiliate since 2002.
"There has also been no correspondence because our letters seeking explanations
from them for the past three years have not been answered," said Ibrahim.
Dates for MNCFs own annual general meeting and for its constitutional
amendments, as instructed by the Sports Commissioner, have also not been set.
It is understood that the Sports Commissioners Office have instructed MNCF to
put it on hold in order for several new policies to be made part of a
standardised constitution.//NST 31 August
