NSAs that have not filled up and return their Survey forms to OCM are requested to do so as soon as possible.  The completed Survey forms submitted after Mr. Brian Minikin has left Malaysia will be emailed to him to analyse.  Mr. Brian Minikin will return to Malaysia during the first week of July 2011, when he will meet representatives of NSAs to discuss in depth the capacity and functioning of NSAs.

Prof. Leigh Robinson, the lead researcher of the team, will be in Kuala Lumpur from 18th to 22nd July for meetings and discussions with OCM, NSAs and other organizations involved in sports development in Malaysia.

OCM’s Relationship with BFM 89.9FM

BFM 89.9FM, has been broadcasting news from OCM/NSAs in their weekly programme –
"Sports Un-illustrated" - hosted by Ross Yusoff on Sundays from 10.00am to 12 Noon.  The
National Associations of Ice Skating, Water Skiing, Hockey and Lawn Bowls and have been
providing news and information to Encik Chris Syer, a member of the OCM Media Committee and
in turn BFM 89.9FM has provided the above sports some coverage.

NSAs, that wish to have their up-coming events and personalities featured on the BFM 89.9FM
“Sports Un-illustrated” programme, are requested to make contact with Encik Chris Syer, a member
of the OCM Media Committee by e-mail < scianda@yahoo.com > or mobile 012 3895950.  The
publicity from having their news aired on BFM89.9FM would certainly benefit NSAs concerned,
their sports and their athletes.
