questions for the Media, which are as follows:
Malaysian Body Building Federation
- What can smaller sport associations (or those where their sport is considered not
popular enough in Malaysia) can do to get regular coverage from the Media?
Malaysian Cricket Association
- What can we, minor sports like cricket, need to do so that we get regular coverage
in all print media/electronic media?
- Somtimes our reports are not carried at all. What are the reasons?
- What must we do so that the print media carries our reports?
- Is the print media being biased -- huge space for popular sports and some times
hardly any for minor sports?
- Isn't it the role of the media to promote all sports and make our society a sports
loving society?
- How can the media play a role in promoting a minority sport emphasising on society?
- Can the media play an effective role in influencing the government and society the
importance of sports so that "Sports become part of our lives" more so in an
diverse society of ours?
Malaysian Paralympic Council
- What is the right approach to get the media, in particular the print media, to be
involved in any sporting events or programmes organised by Malaysian Sports Council or
with any other disabled sports organisations?
- Most of the sporting events/programmes organised by the bodies insports for the
disabled, such as the Malaysian Paralympic Council hardly gets any coverage from the
media. Reasons given by most print media is that they have not enough space.
At times we feel that there is some sort of discrimination or at least lack of
media interest towards sports of the disabled. Please repond.
- Door gifts will be provided for the participants, which comprises of a sling bag with
the OCM and Astro logo and a coffee mug.
