There has been much debate of the lack of coverage of Malaysian sports on tv. Yes we have a Malaysian version of Sportscenter on ESPN but thats not enough…apparently.  By end of this year, we will have our very own tv channel over Astro that focuses on Malaysian sports. So now we might be able to watch tournaments that Nicol David plays in or even maybe the world sepak takraw series which we used to be champs in.

Tunku Imran said a tv sports channel was the “missing link” in the country’s efforts to develop sports to higher levels.

Tunku Imran also said that what many people did not realise was that Malaysia was actually a successful sporting nation although the country had yet to win its first ever 0lympic gold medal

Hopefully with the introduction of this new channel, there will be more interest in Malaysian sports and hopefully this puts more pressure on the sports man and women to deliver medals,tittles that can really put us on the sporting map.

I’m hopeful that this is NOT the only aspect that is taken under consideration because its personally i wont be tuning into a channel to only watch our sports men and women constantly being bashed by other competitors
