Hit the road Joe, says OCM

Former Utusan Malaysia sports editor-turned-blogger Joe Marcose who works part-time as the media officer at the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM), has been told that he is surplus to requirements. Joe's last day is supposed to be on July 15 but he is at liberty to leave sooner. I wonder whether or not he has been made a scapegoat by certain sections of OCM in the wake of the recent elections. Curiously the love letter issued to Joe came two weeks after his posting here.

Kesian Joe kena `pecat' oleh OCM. All the best to him and maybe, lepas ni dia boleh fokus more on his blog.

Anyway, OCM still need to have a media officer. Kebanyakan persatuan sukan yang bernaung bwh OCM difahamkan tak ada media officer, jadi OCM kena bantu esp in media handling. Skrg kerja-kerja media byk dibuat oleh sec or gm persatuan, tak pro. NSC ada seorang media officer, tapi dia jaga kepentingan kerajaan.

Media and sports industry getting bigger and media officer main peranan penting bg pastikan semua maklumat persatuan dan sukan, dapat dikongsi bersama.

Tapi yang lebih penting, OCM wajib ada media officer agar pegawai OCM tak salah guna pas `press attache' utk big games. Accreditation card tu sepatutnya diguna kpd pegawai media yang menjaga keperluan press yg buat liputan, bukan diberi kepada anak atau saudara yg dtg nak enjoy tgk olimpik, asian, commwlth atau sea games.

p/s: Agak-agak, anak sapa yg pi games sblm ni pakai pas press attache kontinjen? Renung-renungkan, selamat beramal.

Ape kerja media office.

1.pastikan reporter semua cukup makan minum pada hari PC
2.Pastikan goodie bag cukup.(tidak nanti ade yg meradang)
3.Pastikan yang patut terima wang saku semua beres.

itu je lah ape lagi. Reporterkan mightier than the sword, kata dia orang - pen is mightier. Ade yang sampai tanya " eh takde ape ape ke?"

kepada yang makan cili...pedas lah.

tapi loose canon tak macam tu kot.?

jadi kerja media officer ni tak akg susah sangat.
