‘Don’t use Ngap Sayot for politics’
KUCHING: Former state football coach Awang Mahyan Awang Mohamad is against the proposed use of the famous Ngap Sayot battle cry for political purposes.
The man credited with coining the football battle cry in the late 80s said he was unhappy with Democratic Action Party (DAP) secretary-general Lim Guan Eng’s suggestion of combining Ngap Sayot with its existing Ubah slogan as the party’s strategy for the next state election.
“I oppose any plan to have it being used for political purposes. It is not proper. Though Ngap Sayot has universal purposes apart from a battle cry in sports, I do not agree with this battle cry being used by others with political agendas,” he said when contacted.
Awang Mahyan said the battle cry is a combination of local words to psych up sportsmen.
“The word Ngap is used locally by anyone be it Chinese, Iban or Malay to signify makan (eat). The word Sayot refers to sayur (vegetables) as some of the traders then pronounced it. So, the phrase Ngap Sayot means to eat vegetables. It is to signify that it is easy for you to take down your opponent if you do not let fear get in your way.
“This battle cry is certainly meant to psych up or motivate your athletes and sportsmen during games, but it is certainly not meant for politics. They (DAP) did not use such a battle cry when they won the state of Penang so why should they need this battle cry for their strategy in Sarawak,” he said.

Football still needs human touch
by Matthew T. Umpang, reporters@theborneopost.com.
KUCHING: Competitive sports especially football still needs the human touch when it comes to refereing and judgement-based decision making during the game.
“I don’t think football will be exciting if we use technologies such as goal-line detection and video replays to replace referees. The game might even gets too rigid and very boring,” said state assistant minister of social development (youth development) Abdul Karim Hamzah in his speech at the Sarawak Football Referee’s Association (SAFRA) annual dinner.
Abdul Karim added that decisions made by referees are still very much needed in the game and he sees that it is very difficult for technology to ever phase them out.
“Football must always retain the “human” aspect of refereing the game to preserve its essence. I remember when Diego Maradona scored the “hand of God” goal against England during the World Cup in 1986 where the referee during that time seemed to have made the wrong decision. However, it was a memorable game and it remained as a debate until today. That is what makes football a beautiful game,” enthused Abdul Karim.
“If we enforced technology, perhaps the game would be different. The players might not feel free to “express” themselves in the pitch during a match due to very strict authority,” added Abdul Karim.
Karim also praised the contribution made by SAFRA in elevating the standard of football refereing in the state as matches are getting more competitive. “SAFRA must ensure its members are always at the very high level of integrity. Referees deal with people so the human aspect of the game is important. They must also constantly updating themselves of the laws of the game,” said Abdul Karim.
Pengadil ‘orang penting’ dalam bola sepak
KUCHING: Pengadil mema-inkan peranan penting dan menjadi orang bertanggungjawab dalam membuat keputusan dan penguatkuasaan peraturan sukan bola sepak.
Menteri Muda Pembangunan Belia, Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah berkata, pengadil merupakan ‘orang penting’ dan masih relevan untuk sukan bola sepak meskipun kini terdapat sistem teknologi dalam pengadilan.
Beliau berkata, penggunaan teknologi dalam penghakiman terutamanya sukan bola sepak hanya akan merosakkan mutu permainan terbabit.
“Justeru, kita masih menganggap pengadil perlawanan bola sepak adalah ‘orang penting’ dan bertanggungjawab membuat keputusan,” katanya pada majlis jamuan malam Persatuan Pengadil Bola Sepak Sarawak (SAFRA) di sini malam kelmarin.
Hadir sama Presiden SAFRA, Awang Mahyan Awang Mohamad.
Abdul Karim berkata, kita tidak yakin bola sepak boleh menjadi menarik jika menggunakan teknologi seperti pengesanan ‘talian matlamat’ dan ulang tayang video seperti yang dicadangkan Persekutuan Persatuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA).
Katanya, pengadil masih diperlukan dalam sukan bola sepak dan kita melihat bahawa tidak ada cara teknologi yang boleh mengarahkan pemain-pemain ‘keluar padang.’
