00:00 The 2024 Asian Dodgeball Championship in Riyadh has been a huge success with a strong national team,
00:06 winning the gold, two silver and three bronze medals in this edition.
00:10 Although it did not reach the actual target, the president of the Malaysian Dodgeball Association,
00:14 Nozika Faisal, is still satisfied with the action shown.
00:17 She is aware that Malaysia is lagging behind other countries,
00:20 which is more dominant, and wants all parties to take the responsibility together to develop the Dodgeball sport in this country.
00:27 I was a little surprised when I first saw the Pakistan team.
00:39 If we used to play with them, maybe 22-0, 24-0, but now they can get better scores.
00:51 I think if Malaysia does not have a better training method, it is impossible to lag behind in the future.
01:04 In addition to the goal of qualifying for the 2025 Dodgeball World Cup,
01:09 it is hoped that the justice system can be improved as some incidents that are not wanted often happen,
01:15 especially when the game is getting tough.
01:19 We also hope that the Dodgeball sport can bring more referees.
01:27 Because what we see is that the problem in this new sport is the quality of the justice system.
01:34 Even if you look at Asia or the World Cup last year in Egypt, the problem is the justice system.
01:41 Their quality is a bit lacking and it may affect the whole of the game.
01:48 For me, the biggest challenge is the referees.
01:53 Without good referees, the quality of the justice system will result in a decision that will not satisfy all parties.
02:03 So, for me, in Malaysia, I will also push for the development of referees to bring in Malaysian referees.
02:14 Thank you.
