MABA:
Introduce:
The past and
present of Malaysian Basketball can be seen on Jalan Hang Jebat leading to the
historical Merdeka Stadium. Here lies the two proudest achievements of the
Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA), namely MABA House and MABA-DBKL Stadium.
Fittingly, here is the home of Malaysian Basketball, its headquarters, a
permanent training place for the national teams and also the residence of
national players.
The renowned and quaint 12-story MABA House which took shape in May
1971, was the creation and dream of The Late Tan Sri Khaw Khai Boh, then the
Minister of Housing & Development.
Today, MABA
House is run by a team of full-time staff, provides a hostel for officials and
players, houses office premises, the MABA Secretariat and Conference room. In
early 1995, The Malaysia Basketball Association (MABA) finally saw their dream
of having a stadium of their own come true. Built at a cost of RM13.5 million,
the MABA-DBKL stadium as it is called, owes much to the foresight and
leadership of MABA Presidents like Dato' Chan Ah Chye and Dato' Loke Yuen Yow.
The stadium has facilities such as a world class basketball court, modern
gymnasium, Chinese Restaurant, multi-story car park and a roof top training
court.
History of MABA:
Basketball was
introduced into Chinese schools in Malaysia in the early twenties by teachers
who came from China, and the game was played on outdoor gravel courts. Later,
it spread to the Chinese Sports Clubs, and in the early thirties enthusiasm was
aroused by the visits of University and Club teams from China and Hong Kong.
Since then, the game has become one of the most popular sports among the
Chinese communities in Malaysia. In 1934 Inter State Tournament for Malayan
Chinese was organised.
Official
basketball rule books printed in Chinese were imported from Shanghai long
before the war. These were superseded in 1956 when the FIBA version of the
rules was printed locally in Chinese and English. In 1958 the national body for
basketball, the Malaya Amateur Basketball Association, was formally established
and Mr. Quek Kai Dong was elected the first President. The first annual
national championship meet, the Agong Cup Championship was launched in August
of the year. The organization was later re-named Malaysia Amateur Basketball Association
(MABA) to bring within its fold the states of Singapore, Sabah and Sarawak, on
the formation of Malaysia. In April 1965, the first Malaysian Youth Basketball
Championship was launched in Penang. MABA is now composed of sixteen affiliated
members, including thirteen State Associations, Federal Territory and two
groups members : the Malaysia Armed Forces and the Royal Police.
MABA became a
member of FIBA in 1957.
As one of the
founders of the Asian Basketball Confederation in 1960, MABA has been a strong
supporter of regional and international basketball championship meets, having
participated in most of the ABC sponsored Asian Championships since their
inception. In 1979 our Women's team took part in the XIIIth World Championship
for Women we were placed eleventh, ahead of Senegal. The Men's National team
took part in the Xth World Championship in Spain in 1986. We failed to qualify
for the second round.
In the SEAP and
SEA Games both Men and Women's team have done well. Our women's team has been
five times gold medalist from 1977 - 1985.
MABA organised
the 3rd, 9th, 13th Asian BAsketball Championships for Men in 1965, 1977, and
1986 respectively in Kuala Lumpur. Malaysia also host 3rd, 7th and 11th Asian
Basketball Championship for Women in 1970, 1978 and 1986 respectively. The 2nd
World Interclub Qualifying Round 1984 was held in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. We
were really honoured to be given the task by FIBA to organise the Pre-Olympic
Championship for Women from 5 to 19 June 1988 and also the 11th World Basketball
Championship for Women from 12 to 22 July 1990 and both the championships were
successfully completed. In 1989 we also hosted the SEA Games (Basketball) and
our men's national team won the gold after 10 years while the womens' team won
the silver. MABA hosted the 4th Commonwealth Games for Men and Women, Kuala
Lumpur, Sungai Petani, Kedah from 17 - 24 July 1995 and also the first South
East Asia Basketball Association (SEABA) Mens Championship in Segamat, Johore
from 10th - 16th April 1994. Malaysia won the Inaugural SEABA Men's
Championship.
Following the
official introduction of the game of mini-basketball by FIBA after a decision
taken at the Mexico Congress in 1968, the MABA took the initiative of
translating the official rules into the Chinese and Malayan languages. It then
reproduced 10,000 copies in three languages ( English, Chinese and Malay) for
extensive distribution to ABC member organizations and all the primary schools
throughout Malaysia. The first mini-basket championship was held in Malaysia at
the end of 1970. The inauguration of this championship complete the three-phase
promotion of basketball activities with organised development and competition
at primary immediate, and advanced levels. The policy and programmes of the
MABA Executive Council are implemented by nine committees, i.e. international
and Invitational, finance, technical, women's basketball, youth basketball,
technical aid, referees' and coaches' committeess. In collaboration with the
ABC and assisted by the FIBA, MABA organised the Asian Seminar for Referees and
Coaches in Kuala Lumpur in April 1970. The Seminar, conducted by R.W Jones,
Secretary-General of FIBA was attended by ninety-eight perticipants from
Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand, the
Philippines, Singapore and Malaysia. Since 1972, Coaches' and Referees' Cinics
have been regularly held at West and East Malaysia through the financial
assistance of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and sports. National sports
Council Council and International Olympic Council. To date hundreds of coaches
and referees from various part of the country have undergone such training.
In 1975 the
first advance basketball coaching course was conducted by three top American
coaches : Coach Bobby Knight, Coach Bon Boyd and Coach Ellenburger. Another
advance coaching course was held in 1984. From then on the coaches committee
never look back as far as training coaches is concerned. Three coaches, Wee
Cheong Phor, Tan See Wah and Yeoh Choo Hock were sent to Rome to attend the
first International Olympic Solidarity Basketball Coaching course for two
months in October and November 1977. MABA was given the honour to host the
Regional IOC Basketball Coaching Course in 1984 and 1987. The experts for the
1984 course were Coach Herd Livesay and Coach Jay Hillock from USA and the 1987
were Coach Terry Schofied (USA) and Burna Arrigoni ( Italy ).
IOC Coaching
Clinic was organised from 12 - 21 October 1992. Experts are Mr. Jim Calvin and
Mr. Stephen Barr of Australia.
Dato' Yeoh Choo
Hock, Secretary-General, MABA was appointed by IOC as expert for conducting
coaching course in Vientiane, Laos and Phnom Phen, Combodia in 1993. Dato' Yeoh
Choo Hock, Secretary General of MABA was appointed by the Secretary General,
FIBA as an Ex-officio in the World Basketball Technical Committee in 1990.
MABA has 33 FIBA
Referees and 450 MABA Referees. The referee committee has been organising
clinics to keep up with the changes of the rules.
In order to
encourage players of other communities apart from Chinese to take on active
part in basketball, the first non Chinese Championship was launched in Kuala
Lumpur in December 1973. But sad to say that due to poor response the
competition lasted only until 1975. In 1995 the revival of the non-chinese
tournament known as National Basketball Championship 'Sedap Cup' saw 13 teams
from 10 states taking part. The National Youth Cup Championship and the
National Agung Cup Championship in April and July / August respective has been
the two most important events in MABA Calendar every year. Besides these two
major events MABA League was introduces in 1984 and 1985. Due to financial
constrained faced by all the teams it was temporary discontinued.
In order to have
permanent headquaters of its own. MABA has launched its long cherished plan of
constructing a twelve storey building. The project, completed in May 1971,
provides hostel accommodations for officials and players, a canteen, library
and conference hall for the basketball fraternities, as well as a venue for
clinics and training seminars.
The 12 storey
MABA headquaters is an imposing landmark in the heart of the busy city of Kuala
Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. Its establishment in 1970 was mainly to the
efforts of the late Tan Sri Khaw Kai Boh, a former president of MABA and the
Asian Basketball Confederation (ABC) and former vice-president of the world
body FIBA.
The building
also houses the secretariat of the Asian Basketball Confederation The Late Mr.
Lum Mun Chak was Secretary General of the ABC from 1983-1991 and Mr. Yeoh Choo
Hock was his Technical Assistant.
MABA House is a
symbol of the progress and development of the game of basketball in Malaysia
and also in the region.
The completion
of the MABA / DBKL Basketball Stadium and the Multi-Storey Car park plus the
basketball training court and two level domitories on top of the car park
speaks well for the leadership of MABA. The stadium project consists of a
basement which is rented out as a restaurant, a mezanine floor which has a
medical room, two office rooms and an open space of about 5,000 sq.ft. which
can be rented out for exhibition purposes. The top level of the stadium is the
basketball court which is fully air-conditioned.
During the
construction period Mr. Wong Chee Kooi, Mr. Lim Yew Jin and Mr. Yeoh Choo Hock
were appointed to represent MABA in the Stadium Board Building Committee.
Another 3 representative were from DBKL.
Today MABA
stands tall with its own MABA Building, Basketball Stadium and Car Park.

Ministry of Youth and Sports is:

society that is united, morally upright and progressive in the social and
economic context as well as to develop a society that is healthy, energetic
and one that adopts sports culture, towards the nation’s unity and
development.“
|
Background
Early years
The early formation of the
Ministry of Youth and Sports begun in 1953 with the incorporation of the
Culture Division under the Department of Public Welfare. At that time, The
Culture Division was given the role and responsibility of handling all matters
relating to the youth affairs in Malaysia.
Later in 1964, the Culture
Division was placed under the Ministry of Information. At the same time, as a
consequence of the growth of organizational activities among youths, a Youth
Division was formed to inculcate and supervise these activities under the
ministry. Besides that, a Sports Division was also formed under the Ministry of
Information.
The Ministry of Youth and
Sports was only formed on 15 May 1964 in conjunction with the National Youth
Day celebration of that year. In 1972, the Culture Division was established,
and this has lead the Ministry of Youth and Sports to change its name to the
Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports until 1987, as the Culture Division was eventually
relocated under the Ministry of Culture, Arts and Tourism. Since then, the
Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports was reverted to its original name which,
today, known as the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
Ministry of Youth and Sports
(MYS) was given the mandate to implement the policies of the Malaysian
government, particularly in the areas of Youth and Sports development.

History-Men
In ancient Ireland, Persia…Selangor, Malacca, Ipoh and Penang…
Hockey, the stick and ball game, was played in antiquity, as far back as 4,000
years ago, the origins mired in myth and fact, from ancient Ireland to the Nile
Valley, to Ethiopia and Persia of old.
A form of the game, according to evidence offered by several museums, was
played by Romans and Greeks and by Aztec Indians in South America well before
explores from the “Old World” set foot on the “New World”.
A bas-relief, discovered in Athens in 1922 on a wall built about
500BC and a fresco, found inside a Pyramid in Egypt, show two men crossing
sticks over a ball like how a “bully” was made before the start of the modern
game.
By 1886, the game was sufficiently played in England for it to be organized
with a set of rules and the Hockey Association was formed in England.
It didn’t take long for the game to make its way to Malaya, and the first
formal match played was between Harris’ XI and Whitley’s XI on Nov 30, 1898 in
Kuala Lumpur.
Inter-Club matches were played between Selangor and Singapore as early as 1904,
and other British-dominated clubs in Malacca, Ipoh and Penang also had their
matches. By the 1920s, there were more Malayans playing the game. The Federated
Malay States versus Colony series was started in 1925.
Penang claim to have formed the first State Hockey Association, though all
records were lost during the World War, the “memory of the old-timers” says the
association took shape about the 1924-25 season.
Perak, however, were the first to officially form a State Hockey Association in
October 1927, and so too Negeri Sembilan. And in Perak, the Constitution was
amended in 1936 to provide for District Hockey Association. Six districts
formed their Hockey Association the same year.
Records show that the game was
played at the club level in 1931 by Tamilians’ Physical Cultural Association,
Selangor Malays and Selangor Chinese Recreation Club in Kuala Lumpur.
The game went “international”
with the visit of the Indian Olympic team in 1932. The Indians treated the
local fan to a delightful display of hockey on their way to a 7-0 win over the
Malayan XI.
By the 1930s, regular
Inter-State matches were held. The 1939 records show that Selangor were a hot
number, beating Negeri 9-0 on Nov 4, Malacca 2-0 on Nov 18 and Penang 1-0 on
Dec 2.
Hockey was up and running in the country and the game was played at club and
district levels nationwide by the late 30s (Taiping HA organized the first
district league in the country in 1946-47) with Hockey Association having been
formed in many states.
The Quadrangular hockey matches over three days were regular features of
Malayan hockey and it “made possible for teams situated in the extremities of
the country to meet each other in friendly matches”.
The hockey season ended with the classic North v South match. North was made up
of Kedah, Penang, Perak, Pahang and Selangor while South had Negeri Sembilan,
Malacca, Johor and Singapore.
In the first season – 1940-41 – North beat South 4-1 in Kuala Lumpur. When the
series resumed after the War, North and South drew 0-0 in Kuala Lumpur. North
either won or drew the next six in the series, with South posting their only
in, by 3-2, in 1953-54 in Singapore.
A national hockey body was the
next logical step.
After the North v South Hockey Match at the end of the 1947-48
season in Kuala Lumpur, delegates from the Hockey Associations of Penang,
Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca, Johor and Singapore met.
Singapore HA President Sir George E.N. Oehlers formally proposed, “That a body
governing the game of Hockey in the Federation of Malaya and in the Colony of
Singapore be formed and that such a body be called the Malayan Hockey Council”.
Sir George was elected the first president.
Regular Quadrangular Hockey over the weekend during the hockey season and the
introduction of the Malayan Championships in 1951 put the game on a higher
level in the country.
The exploits of the legendary Indians in the Olympics – they had won five
titles since the 1928 Amsterdam Games, and the fifth was at the 1952 Helsinki
Games – fired the Olympic imagination of hockey enthusiasts in Malaya.
Olympic participation is through the Olympic Council and the Malayan Hockey
Council did the needful, with the Amateur Athletics Union of Malaya. They met
at the PWD Sports Club in Cheras, Kuala Lumpur on Aug 15, 1953 at 11.20am. The
meeting ended 35 minutes and the Federation of Malaya Olympic Council was
formed.
The Malayan Hockey Federation, with Singapore going their separate way, was
formed in 1954 with Herman Marie De Souza was elected president and Kandiah
Aryaduray the secretary. Sir Gerald Templer, the supremo of Malaya and Sir
Donald MacGillivray the High Commisioner of the Federation of Malaya, were
roped in as Patrons.
Malaya were ready for their first international outing, the 1956 Melbourne
Olympics and have never looked back since.

History-Women
In Malaysia Women’s Hockey has come a long way since it was
first played in the 1920s. Formerly, competitions were organized at Inter-Club
and Inter-State level, and it was not until 1956 that it was felt the game
should be put on a properly organised basis. A meeting of enthusiasts from
Penang, Perak, Negeri Sembilan and Singapore held in February of that year laid
the groundwork of this governing body. Mrs. E. Houstoin was elected Protem
Chairman and Miss Chuah Guaik Hoon was Protem Hon. Secretary.
The history of Women’s Hockey in Malaysia began with the
inaugural meeting of the Pan-Malayan Women’s Hockey Association on 16th
December, 1956. Mrs. V. Marsh became the first President with Miss. C. Thomasz
(Vice President), Mrs. S. Sundram (Vice President), Miss Chuah Guaik Hoon (Hon.
Secretary), Miss. R. Emuang (Hon. Treasurer), Mrs. M. Scully, Mrs. D. Sibert,
Mrs. The Gin Sooi, Mrs. P. Chelliah, Mrs. W. Drake, and Mrs. Z. Bryant making
up the first Executive Committee.
Another progressive step was taken when the Association became
affiliated to the International Federation of Women’s Hockey Association in
1957. In 1961, the Association became the Malayan Women’s Hockey Association.
From the original member Associations of Penang, Selangor and Perak, the
Association slowly grew to include Negeri Sembilan (1962), Johore, Malacca and
Singapore (1964), Sabah(1965) and Sarawak (1967). Perak who had resigned
in 1964 returned to the fold in 1967. Since 1967 the Association welcomed the
membership of Pahang (1975). In keeping with political trend Singapore resigned
in 1965.
Malaya made its debut on the International scene when she played
host to Australia and Singapore in 1962. This was through the initiative
of Mrs. Zena Jansz, President at the time.
The Malayan Women’s Hockey Association changed its name to the
Malaysian Women’s Hockey Association in keeping with political trends in 1963.
The Malaysian Team made its maiden overseas tour as guest of the All-Australian
Women’s Hockey Association in 1965, during which they played friendly games
against various states and one Test Match against Australia.
In 1967 was the year of the International Federation of Women’s
Hockey Associations Conference and Tournament in Cologne, Germany. Mrs. V.
Marsh and Miss P. Navarednam were the Malaysian delegates to the Conference.
The Malaysian team did not participate as finances were low. The team however
played the Australian team which was enroute to the tournament. Two years later
the Malaysian Women’s Hockey Association was affiliated to the All-England
Women’s Hockey Association.
Another major step was taken with the staging of the 1st
National Championship in Seremban in 1970 for the Tengku Budriah Trophy. Perak,
Selangor, Negeri Sembilan, Malacca and Sabah competed. Since then
the Championship has been played in Perak (1971), Malacca (1972), Selangor
(1973), Penang (1974), Negeri Sembilan (1975), Perak (1976), Malacca (1977),
Pahang (1978), Penang (1979), Negeri Sembilan (1980), Kuala Lumpur (1981) and
Penang (1982).
In 1971 the Malaysian Women’s Hockey Association took part in
the 10th International Federation of Women’s Hockey Association’s Conference
and Tournament in New Zealand. The team was favourably mentioned in the
World Magazine in its report on the tournament. Before their departure from
Malaysia the team was given its first insight into the standard of play
expected when they met Germany in a match in Malacca. The team played Belgium
and Singapore in the Pesta Sukan Singapore enroute to New Zealand. The
Second Malaysia XI had its share when it met the Americans in Penang after the
tournament. The Malaysian Team met Ireland once again in Seremban on their
return in September.
In 1972, with the setting up of the National Sports Council,
women’s hockey was given a boost when the Association was recognised as the
governing body of women’s hockey. The official recognition put the
Association on par with all other sports and led to its being affiliated to the
Olympic Council of Malaysia 1973. In 1974 the Association turned out its first
batch of women coaches who qualified at the end of the basic course held in
November and in the late 1976 the Association registered its first woman
umpire.
Although Malaysia had hosted foreign teams like Australia,
Germany, America and Ireland and taken part in the International Federation of
Women’s Hockey Association’s Tournaments. It was in 1974 was the first time
that the Malaysian Women’s Hockey Association organised such a prestigious
competition as the Asian Women’s Hockey Tournament with Japan, Sri Lanka,
Singapore, Hong Kong and host Malaysia taking part.
Malaysia was represented by two
delegates, Miss Vivian Soars (Vice President) and Mrs. Dororthy Sibert Bailey
(Hon. Secretary) at the Asian Women’s Hockey Federation Council Meeting at
Madras, India from 25th to 27th January, 1975.
In September 1975 Malaysia participated in the IFWHA 1st Women’s
World Cup Tournament in Edinburgh, Scotland. Enroute Edinburgh Malaysia visited
Denmark where the team played three matches with State and Club sides and which
were all won by Malaysia.
At the IFWHA Conference in Edinburgh in 1975 Malaysia was
represented by Mrs. P.T. Lingam, PJK and Mrs. Dorothy Sibert Bailey, PJK.
Malaysia was requested to look into the possibility of organizing the 3rd World
Cup Tournament and Conference and after due consideration Malaysia informed
IFWHA in 1976 it would accept the invitation to stage the Tournament and
Conference in 1983.
In December 1976 the 7-a-side Inter-States Championship for the
Tunku Ampuan Negeri Sembilan Trophy was inaugurated. The 1st 7-a-side meet was
an “open tournament” held in Seremban in which Perak, Malacca, Johore,
Terengganu, Selangor and Negeri Sembilan participated. Selangor emerged
Champions with Negeri Sembilan the Runners-up. The 2nd 7-a-side meet was
restricted to affiliates only and it was held in Kuala Lumpur in February 1978
with eight teams participating: Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Pahang (2 teams
each) and Perak and Malacca. Selangor A were Champions with Selangor B
Runners-up.
The Association was formally admitted as a member of the
International Hockey Federation (FIH) on 27 July 1976 at the Statutory Congress
in Montreal, Canada.
In 1975, a new bread of women officials decided to put the Asian
body into shape. Under the dynamic leadership of Tok Puan Zainon bte Datuk
Hussain, a meeting of representatives from Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia
met and a protem committee was set up to draft the Constitution for FALHA.
In December 1976 Malaysia participated in an “International
Invitation Tournament” in Hong Kong held in conjunction with the inaugural
meeting of the Federation of Asian Ladies Hockey Associations (FALHA). Other
participants were Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia
participated and the Championship was an FIH approved meet. Malaysia finished
first, with Japan second and Singapore third. The late Prime Minister of
Malaysia, YAB Tun Abdul Razak, donated the Challenge Trophy.
1979 saw the introduction of the Under-23 Tournament for the Tok
Puan Zainon’s Challenge Trophy. Five affiliates – Perak, Negeri Sembilan,
Penang, Malacca and Pahang participated in the 1st Tournament in Ipoh in
December 1979. Perak won the Tournament with Negeri Sembilan Runners-up. In
December 1980 five affiliates participated – Perak, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan,
Pahang and Penang. Perak retained the first position with Selangor the
Runners-up. Indoor hockey was also introduced in 1979 and the game has gained
popularity in Kuala Lumpur. Over the years, the Malaysian Women’s Hockey
Association has continuously researched the domestic tournament structure to
introduce new and important elements. In the year 2001 two major domestic
tournaments were introduced. Both were realized by the strong support from the
National Sports Council and Nestle. The tournaments were the National Junior
League and the Raja Noora Ashikin Cup. Both tournaments were introduced
to cultivate and encourage the development of a strong club based platform.
In 1982, Malaysia participated in the Asian Games, New Delhi,
India. It was the first time the women’s hockey event was introduced in the Asian
Games. Malaysia had an impressive outing in the tournament and won the bronze
medal. In 1991, Malaysian participated in the Indra Gandhi Cup,
Chandigarh, India. The South East Asia (SEA) Games have always been an
important tournament for Malaysia. The Malaysian women’s team have managed to
have a commendable record in these Games which includes winning the Silver
medal (Singapore (1993), Chiang Mai (1995)) and the Gold medal in the following
three consecutive years (Jakarta (1997), Brunei (1999) and Kuala Lumpur (2001).
Malaysian sports had experienced a shift of management paradigm
in 1994, when Malaysia was given the honour to host the Commonwealth
Games. The preparations for the national teams were converted into
full-time programs. The Malaysian women’s team were part of this large
project. In the year 2001, the Malaysian team qualified for the World Cup
Qualifiers in Amiens, France. Another important tournament is the junior
and elite Asia Cup. Malaysia was promoted from the Division 2 to Division 1 in
1997 (Singapore). Since then Malaysia has featured in all Asia Cup tournaments.
The Association played host for the 1983 Continental and World Cup, 1992 and
2000 Regional World Cup Qualifiers (Asia Cup).
The Malaysian Women’s Hockey Association received recognition
for the efforts to promote hockey among girls and women. The
International Olympic Committee (IOC) awarded the Women in Sports Award for
Asia to the Malaysian Women’s Hockey Association in the year 2001.
