We have world class divers but it's a pity that for months they had to practice in dangerous conditions - one slip and they could have said goodbye to their careers...
Thankfully all that are now matters of the past but there remains one thing. The diving platforms do not meet the international standard for syncronised diving set by world aquatic body FINA.

Merdeka Board Stadium (MSB) chairman Wan Nor Azninah Zaniby Wan Hashim, who previously was ever willing to talk, doesn't want to talk.
Among her lines which humoured me before were - "Our government has no money" and "If The Malay Mail gives us money, we'll start work immediately".... hmmmm....
Anyway here's the latest from this episode.
I wonder when will our synchonised divers be able to practice on international standard platforms - locally!
Bare in mind with the current situation, yet, Pandalela Rinong and Leong Mun Yee are already world class acts. Maybe they can be better... Maybe.
Hilarious! The one thing that I have realized about governing bodies of Malaysian sports is that the facilities will indeed be world class if the government allocates a budget that is triple of what is actually needed to upgrade. Its not just diving, its whole kit and caboodle! From football to athletics, that's just how it is.
