The History of the Borneo Games

By Roslan Yunos

December 1, 2009

I was asked to research on the history of the Borneo Games by Brunei Times. The 3rd Borneo Games is currently on at various venues throughout Brunei at the moment. I found out many things including the fact that one of my uncles was the first Brunei Borneo Games athletes.

My article was published yesterday on Brunei Times:

Remember these names? Sinin Metali, Aloysius Sibidol, Zainab Kadir, Junaidi Hamdan, George Chong, Abdullah Mustafa, Sanah Tamit, Pengiran Md Zain, Katherine Teo and Marina Metali? If these names do not jog your memory, then what about Latif Olen, Kuda Dita or Dilbaugh Sinkler?

Bruneians in the 1950s and 1960s interested in sports would remember that these were Brunei’s and some of our neighbouring states’ best athletes competing in the Borneo Games. Borneo Games was the most prestigious athletics competition that we had at that time.

Not many people remembered the first few Borneo Games nor did people remember the first Brunei athlete who took part in the first Borneo Games. Yet, our athletes competed very well. Sinin Metali when he was in the army, training in Negeri Sembilan in 1961 bested the Malaysian soldiers by winning the Malaysian Army’s mile run. Sibidol held world veteran records in his age group for discus and javelin throwing.

The very first Borneo Games was held at Seria Recreation Club (SRC) in 1954. The three British Borneo states, Brunei Darussalam, Sarawak and North Borneo took part in that first game. The Games was sponsored by Brunei Shell Petroleum Company. Practically every single one of the ‘Brunei’ athletes was BSP employees but only one was a true Bruneian.

Ahmad Kahar was the sole Bruneian in the entire ‘Brunei’ team. The other team members were expatriates. It was not surprising as it was very difficult for other athletes from around Brunei to come to Seria to practice and compete. There were no connecting bridges then and vehicles had to use the beach and a ferry just to get from Belait District over to Tutong.

According to Ahmad Kahar, Brunei did very well, topping the first three Borneo Games in 1954, 1955 (held in North Borneo) and 1956 (held in Sarawak). Ahmad Kahar won gold medals in the first few games. His specialties were in the 880 yards, 1,760 yards and 440 yards 4x4 relay. The Brunei quartet comprising of Ahmad Kahar, RJ Clark, TC Matthews and Scott was well known among the athletes.

He remembered that for the second Borneo Games in North Borneo, the team went to Kota Kinabalu on board the steamer MV Bolkiah. The athletes were put up at the Kapayan Police Barracks. By then Brunei had two local athletes but the rest were still expatriates. His Royal Highness Sultan Haji Omar Ali Saifuddien himself dropped in on the team when they were in North Borneo.

In the third Borneo Games, the Brunei team once again went on the steamer MV Bolkiah and stayed at a hotel in Kuching before winning the Games for the third time running. By then there were a few Brunei athletes in the contingent.

By 1957, the Brunei team was no longer managed by the Shell Company. It was now managed by the Brunei Amateur Athletics Association. Unfortunately without the expatriates, the local athletes could not compete against the athletes from Sabah and Sarawak and has never won the games since.

Sinin Metali (real name Sinin Tuba) recalled that the 1957 Borneo Games was not held at SRC but at the Arena, a field near Seria Town. He also recalled that the subsequent Games in Sabah was held at Tanjung Aru and in Sarawak at Tanjung Lintang. The ship taking the Brunei team was MV Rajawali instead of MV Bolkiah. He remembered the grass covered tracks compared to the nicely rubber covered tracks of today. The spikes in their shoes were long compared to today’s short spikes.

Brunei Darussalam was a British protectorate at that time. North Borneo was a British protectorate before the Second World War but was a crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1946 to 1963 and was subsequently renamed Sabah when it joined Malaysia in 1963. Sarawak too after the Second World War was a crown colony until 1963. It too joined Malaysia.

By the 1960s, the annual event of the 1950s became a biennial event but still held over the weekend.

Many sports were competed by the three Borneo states including Football, Badminton, Hockey and, Basketball. There were several sports meets that involved Sabah, Sarawak and Brunei such as the Borneo Cup, which is for football and another is for hockey, but the Borneo Games was purely on athletics.

The Games, however, finally lost momentum in the mid 1970s due to lack of participation from Brunei often resulting in Sabah and Sarawak battling it out for the champions’ trophy. According to the Daily Express of Sabah, the last Borneo Games overall champions were Sabah when the meet was hosted by Sarawak in 1984 and the Borneo Games went into abeyance after that.

However, according to Haji Abdul Razak Bongsu who was then the Secretary of the Brunei Amateur Athletics Association, the Borneo Games was resurrected as the short lived Merdeka Games. Brunei Darussalam soon after its independence invited all six ASEAN countries to send representatives to the games. The first games comprising of 10 sporting events took place in March 1985. The second and final games took place in March 1990.

Despite the demise of the Borneo Games series, some games continued to be organised by the sports associations of particular games.

The current series of the Borneo Games was revived in 2005 with Sabah being the first host.

The states that took part in the inaugural Borneo Games in 2005 were Brunei, Sabah, Sarawak, Labuan (ceded by Sabah to be a federal state in 1984) and Kedah, host of the Malaysian Games, SUKMA XI the following year. The games were held from 17th to 21st December 2005.

A new logo was agreed made up of four multicoloured interconnecting circles and a torch at the top. The four colours, yellow, red, blue and green represented the colours of the four states.

The 2005 Borneo Games included badminton, men’s football (under 23), women’s football, top spinning, hockey, athletics, rugby, sepak takraw, tennis, tenpin bowling and boxing. Brunei won 7 golds, 11 silvers and 17 bronzes and finished third in the five state games.

In 2007, the Second Borneo Games with the theme of ‘The Spirit of Borneo’ from 27th November to 1st December took place in Sarawak. Sabah, Labuan, Sarawak and Brunei with the addition of the Borneo Provinces of Indonesia - East Kalimantan and West Kalimantan and Terengganu, the 2008 host of SUKMA XII took part. Brunei won 9 golds, 8 silvers and 16 bronzes.

The Third Borneo Games will be hosted by Brunei from 29 November to 6 December 2009.

The Games will consist of 12 sports of which four are compulsory; athletics, hockey, football and sepak takraw. Seven are optional, namely badminton, billiards, fencing, futsal, lawn bowling, pencak silat and tennis. In addition, gasing (top spinning) will also be contested under the ‘traditional sports’ category.

The 2009 Borneo Games will be contested by Brunei, East Kalimantan, Labuan, Melaka (the host of 2010 SUKMA XIII), North Kalimantan, Sabah, Sarawak, South Kalimantan and West Kalimantan.

Now, truly the Borneo Games will be contested by all the Borneo states. It has come a long way since 1954.

* PS. I wrote this article about 3 weeks before the Borneo Games started. I thought it will be published much earlier, but Brunei Times decided to hold it and publish it when Borneo Games had started. By then, it was confirmed that 3 events had been dropped and that 2 states did not take part, so my last 3 paragraphs were no longer accurate including the last paragraph. We have to wait for another Borneo Games to get everyone in Borneo to participate.

Concern over placing Jakim staff in every government department

August 13, 2024

By Nikko Fabian

David said the reported placement of religious officers in government departments could compromise the secular nature of institutions meant to serve all Malaysians impartially, irrespective of their religious beliefs.

KOTA KINABALU: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Vice-President David Ong, raised concerns regarding reports officers from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim), will be placed in every government department to ensure decisions align with Islamic principles.

David highlighted the potential implications of such a move on Malaysia’s democracy and constitutional principles.

He also highlighted Malaysia’s diverse population, comprising individuals of various faiths and ethnicities and stressed the importance of upholding the constitutional guarantee of freedom of religion for all.

He said the reported placement of religious officers in government departments could compromise the secular nature of institutions meant to serve all Malaysians impartially, irrespective of their religious beliefs.

David also stressed the importance of decisions being based on facts and the best interests of all Malaysians, rather than religious considerations.

Of particular concern is the potential for discrimination against non-Muslim citizens and civil servants, as well as the risk of religious considerations overshadowing merit and equality in government operations.

He cautioned against policies that could undermine equal opportunity and non-discrimination, fundamental to a just and harmonious society.

While acknowledging Islam as the religion of the Federation, he reiterated the need for a clear separation between religious affairs and the secular functions of government to safeguard the rights and freedoms of all Malaysians.

Towards this end, he called on the government to clarify the reported policy and urged reconsideration if the reports are accurate.

LDP reaffirmed its commitment to democratic values, diversity and equal treatment for all citizens under the law.

Ong stressed the importance of upholding Malaysia’s plurality and scrutinising actions that may jeopardize this delicate balance.

Kota Kinabalu: Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Vice-President David Ong, raised concerns regarding reports officers from the Department of Islamic Development Malaysia (Jakim), will be placed in every government department to ensure decisions align with Islamic principles.

Mob violence in Bangladesh after Hasina’s ouster stirs fear within the country’s Hindu minority

By Krutika Pathi, Al Emrun Garjon and Shonal Ganguly

Aug. 16, 2024

KHULNA, Bangladesh — When a mass uprising forced Bangladesh’s longtime prime minister to step down and flee the country last week, a 65-year-old retired auditor who had worked for her political party feared for his life.

Arobinda Mohalder, who is part of Bangladesh’s Hindu minority, had just learned that a Hindu official working for the Awami League party in the country’s Khulna district was forced to flee his home when an angry mob set it on fire.

Mohalder and his wife quickly packed their clothes and passports and left their home to stay with a relative nearby. Later that evening, they found out their home had also been torched. The attackers first stole almost everything inside, including their television, refrigerator and two air conditioners.

Ever since former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina resigned and fled to India, her supporters and associates have faced retaliatory attacks by mobs who have been met by little, if any, resistance from authorities. Members of the country’s Hindu minority feel the most vulnerable because they have traditionally backed the Awami League — seen as a secular party in the Muslim-majority nation — and because of a history of violence against them during previous upheavals.

Aug. 5, 2024
Since Hasina was ousted on Aug. 5, there have been hundreds of attacks against Hindus and other religious minorities across much of the country, according to the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, a minority rights group that has been tracking incidents.

But experts caution it is hard to establish the extent of and motivations for the violence in this South Asian country of 170 million.

“There may be an element of minorities, particularly Hindus, being targeted due to their faith. But many Hindus had links to the Awami League, because historically it has been the party that protected minorities, so they may have been targeted for their political affiliations,” said Thomas Kean, a senior consultant on Bangladesh and Myanmar at the Crisis Group.

Hasina’s ouster was triggered by student-led protests against a quota system for government jobs. After clashes between protesters and government forces that led to hundreds of deaths, the movement grew into a broader rebellion against the leader and her government.

Mobs rampaged across the country after Hasina fled. Some of the violence was just criminal activity, Kean said, and “we shouldn’t assume they are all due to race or religion.”

The interim government put in place after Hasina’s ouster has condemned the attacks as “heinous” and said it was working with community leaders to ensure Hindus’ safety.

Hindus, who make up 8% of the population and are the largest minority group, “are shivering,” said Kajal Debnath, a vice president of the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council. “They are closing their doors; they are not opening it without confirming who is knocking. Everybody [in the Hindu minority] … from the Dhaka capital to the remote villages are very scared.”

For many, the violence has evoked painful memories of Bangladesh’s 1971 war of independence against Pakistan during which Hindus were targeted. Hindus were also attacked during the rise of Islamic groups in the 1990s, which Hasina stamped out.

Hindus have held large protests in the last week drawing thousands, demanding protection and condemning the recent spate of attacks.

Munni Ghosh, a Hindu housewife in Dhaka, said that attacks have grown since Hasina fled. “The reason is because she used to support us,” she said.

According to the minority groups organization, the attacks have included vandalizing and robbing of Hindu homes and businesses. A few temples have been damaged.

Details remain scarce, and police — whose members were also killed during recent violence — went on strike last week.

Some analysts say many of the attacks against Hindus are politically driven and reflect resentment against Hasina’s party.

Hindus have suffered, but most attacks have been “politically motivated because the Awami League has been targeted,” said Zillur Rahman, executive director of the Dhaka-based Center for Governance Studies.

In Mohalder’s village, dozens of other Hindu homes were unscathed. And his brother-in-law’s house, which is attached to his own, was not vandalized. A temple in their family compound was also untouched.

Mohalder believes he was targeted because of his ties to the Awami League. He doesn’t know when it will be safe for him to return home. “I want to go back, but goons looted my home, and because of that, I am scared.”

The issue has become increasingly sensitive for India, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed concern Thursday over attacks.

A lack of investigations is fueling misinformation about the attacks, much of it coming from Indian news, social media and leaders, said Kean.

On Aug. 5, the day Hasina fled, a leader belonging to Modi’s party in West Bengal state, which borders Bangladesh, claimed without providing evidence that Hindus were being slaughtered. Television news channels ran headlines saying the attacks were “an act of genocide” and a “pogrom.” In another example, an Indian outlet claimed a temple had been set on fire, but Prothom Alo — a leading Bengali-language daily newspaper — found that was false, and reported that an Awami League office behind the temple had been burnt down.

Nahid Islam, one of the leading student protesters who was sworn in as a minister in the interim government last week, said the violence was more politically than religiously motivated and was meant to divide the country, but that the government would protect them.

“The responsible will be brought to justice. ... Be assured that the people of Bangladesh, the government of Bangladesh will stand by you.”

But for many Hindus, the biggest worry has been the lack of police since they went on strike in many parts of the country after Hasina fled.

“Anything can happen at any moment of time because there is no law and order,” Debnath said. “There is no place to complain. If they kill me, if they burn my house, there is no one I can complain to.”

This week, several police stations reopened and many people hope that will help ease tensions.

But while police were on strike, students and other volunteers in Dhaka and elsewhere banded together to patrol neighborhoods and keep watch, sometimes carrying sticks and umbrellas.

Tahsim Uzzaman, a 26-year-old student in Dhaka, is one volunteer who has been patrolling neighborhoods in the capital late at night.

“I no longer feel all right just sitting at home. I’ve been going out at night to guard places, especially in minority neighborhoods. We took bullets to reclaim our country. It shouldn’t be for nothing; we must now keep it safe for all,” he said.

Ever since Bangladesh's prime minister was forced to step down and fled the country, her supporters and associates have faced retaliatory attacks.

Fernandes’ flight of fancy: Demands compensation from Microsoft but ignores plight of his own passengers

By Jonathan Liew

July 26 2024

TAN SRI Tony Fernandes, the flamboyant and controversial CEO of Capital A Bhd (previously AirAsia Group Bhd) is once again making headlines.

This time, he is demanding compensation from Microsoft for a recent CrowdStrike outage that disrupted his AirAsia airlines operations. The irony here is almost too perplexing to digest.

Here we have a top executive known for his airline’s less-than-stellar record on customer compensation now clamouring for reparations. It’s a plot twist worthy of a tragic comedy!

Fernandes’ demand for compensation from Microsoft would be amusing if it weren’t so hypocritical. Under his leadership, AirAsia has garnered a damning reputation for its reluctance to compensate passengers – in real cash terms– for delays, cancellations and other service disruptions.

Has Fernandes suddenly discovered the importance of customer service when he’s on the receiving end of lousy performance?

One can’t help but recall the numerous complaints from AirAsia passengers left in the lurch. These are stories of traveller’s stranded for hours – if not days – with little to no communication from the airline and even less hope of compensation.

Attitude smacks of hypocrisy

This is especially so for those whose flight plans were cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic. Four years have lapsed but there’s still no light at the end of the tunnel for those aggrieved.

They were denied cash refunds but forced into receiving vouchers instead. Not only that, many couldn’t use their vouchers for the original destinations. No explanation was given.

Yet, here we have Fernandes expecting swift compensation for the inconvenience and financial loss caused to him and his company.

This episode highlights a glaring double standard in Fernandes’ approach to accountability. When it’s AirAsia at fault, the airline is notoriously slow to acknowledge its responsibilities.

But when he and his company are on the receiving end of poor customer service, he suddenly transforms into a consumer activist.

His indignation at Microsoft’s service disruption would be more convincing if it weren’t for his airline’s abysmal track record. AirAsia passengers have long endured delays and cancellations, often without satisfactory explanations or timely compensation.

It’s a bitter pill for them to swallow, watching their CEO now demand what they’ve been denied for so long.

Let’s not forget that AirAsia has been fined multiple times for failing to comply with compensation regulations. In 2019, the Malaysian Aviation Commission (MAVCOM) penalised the airline for failing to disclose its additional airfare charges to customers.

Passengers have taken to social media countless times, sharing their frustrations over delayed flights and unfulfilled compensation promises. These incidents paint a stark contrast to Fernandes’ current demands.

Perhaps this experience will give Fernandes a taste of what his passengers have long endured. It’s easy to demand compensation when you’re the aggrieved party but far more challenging to offer it when you’re the one at fault.

Fernandes’ recent outburst should serve as a wake-up call, a reminder that the principles of fairness and accountability apply to all – including himself and his airline.

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, the flamboyant and controversial CEO of Capital A Bhd (previously AirAsia Group Bhd) is once again making headlines.

Which teams can qualify for round of 16 finishing third?

Netherlands became the first third-placed team to secure a spot in the round of 16, despite suffering a 2-3 loss against Austria in its last group stage match.

Jun 26, 2024

Netherlands, with a loss, a draw and a win in its group stage, qualified for the round of 16 as one of the third-placed teams, from Group D.

The 2024 European Championship is in its final matchday of the group stage games, with teams from Group F in action in Germany on Tuesday.

From Group E, Ukraine became the first team in the tournament’s history to fail to progress from the group Stage with four points while all other teams, Belgium, Romania and Slovakia made it to the knockouts. Slovakia became the third team to qualify as a third-placed side in Euro 2024.

In the Group C matches on Tuesday, England drew 0-0 with Slovenia while Denmark and Serbia also played out a goalless draw. As a result, Slovenia confirmed its place in the last 16 as one of the best third placed-teams, behind England and Denmark in first and second.

Earlier, Netherlands became the first third-placed team to secure a spot in the round of 16, despite suffering a 2-3 loss against Austria in its last group stage match.

WHAT IS THE FORMAT OF QUALIFICATION INTO ROUND OF 16 OF EURO 2024?

This edition of the European Championship had 24 teams participating, who were divided into six groups of four teams each. Of them, the two best teams from each group and the four best third-placed teams will enter the round of 16.

HOW THE FOUR BEST THIRD-PLACED TEAMS ARE DECIDED?

To determine the four best third-placed teams, the following criteria are applied, in the order given:

* Higher number of points;
* Superior goal difference;
* Higher number of goals scored;
* Higher number of wins;
* Lower disciplinary points total based only on yellow and red cards received by players and team officials in all group matches (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);

Position in the overall European Qualifiers rankings, or if Germany, the host association team, is involved in the comparison, drawing of lots.

Once the four best third-placed teams have been determined, Article 21.05 of the regulations explains which third-placed team plays in which tie. Only after all four sides are known could the allocation to each round of 16 match be made.

Following is how the standings for third-placed teams in Euro 2024 look:
