Here's wishing all the best to the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) in sealing their deal (initially for four years) to bring Singapore back into the Malaysia Cup circuit from next year. It has been 17 years in the wilderness, during which soccer here languished.
As TODAY (13 July, page 1) noted: "The MOU between the FAS and the FAM comes amid a breakthrough in bilateral relations which was first set in motion in May last year after a meeting between [PMs] Lee Hsien Loong and... Najib Razak.
As FAM deputy president Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah said: "With this move, we hope to relive the glory days."
Singapore withdrew from the Malaysia Cup in 1995. It won the inaugural tournament (then known as the Malaya Cup) in 1921, by beating Selangor 2-1.

Q: What is "boss" spelt backwards?
A: Double SOB!
That is an old joke. What's new is a recent study that provides evidence that fair (and presumably nice) bosses don't get as far as ruthlessly power-hungry (and presumably nasty) bosses. Read the article "Why fair bosses fall behind" in:
