Pos aim to deliver

04/07/1997

POS Malaysia, a hockey power back in the 60s and 70s, will be making their
debut in the Malaysia Hockey League tomorrow at the Bukit Jalil Hockey
Stadium with a simple aim.
"In sport, winning is not everything. Dedication, discipline and
commitment are also vital. I hope the Pos Malaysia team will bear that in
mind when they take to the field," said Pos Malaysia sports council deputy
president Khalil Daud at their signing ceremony yesterday.
"We have been active in sport for a long time and have tried our hand in
soccer but were not very successful. I hope the hockey team will fare
better.
"Although we are making our debut, we have a strong lineup with a host
of former national and Yayasan Negri Sembilan players to carry the Pos
Malaysia flag."
At the ceremony, Pro-Specs brand manager Manmohan Singh handed over
hockey attire to the players.
"We are also co-sponsors for Tenaga Nasional, Engineering and Electrical
Corps and Kuala Langat. They are not the top teams in the League but then
we are not interested in instant results. We are more than happy to
contribute towards the development of hockey in Malaysia," said Manmohan.
"In the Junior League, Pro-Specs sponsored Old La Sallians of Klang and
they rose from the sixth placing in 1996 to become League champions. That
is the sort of development we are interested in."
