Bakar blogs...

I knew him only by reputation until the day we were formally introduced in 1991. Having seen him in action, I was in awe of Abu Bakar Atan. His wedding was attended by football luminaries - Zainal Abidin Hassan, Fandi Ahmad...he was in the thick of the action during KL's heydays under Tan Sri Elyas Omar...and his picture attending a press conference during the 1990 World Cup appeared in World Soccer! Bakar too remains an active sports enthusiast. A footballer, a tennis player and now an avid golfer. The TV3 sports editor and former Sportswriters Association of Malaysia (SAM) president is also...a blogger. He calls it first serve, second serve. Perhaps the first serve is to attack with maximum power, the second is to cushion the impact since second serves in tennis are safety-first in nature. Read it here. Victims of his crticism - NSC and fellow journos. Hah!
