00:00Back in the Nadi Arena, with R Sharmendran, who I admit was shocked by the request of the Malaysian Karate Federation
00:12who wanted this former national captain, the empty slot left by Tamer Abdul Rauf after his contract was not continued.
00:19Two weeks ago, it was a surprise for Sharmendran who had never expected this opportunity to come early.
00:25However, he took up the challenge a few years ago, starting as a former national captain,
00:29who recently paid attention to three important events until March 2025.
00:39It's a shocking news for me, but it's a good opportunity for me to share my knowledge.
00:54They told me verbally one or two weeks ago, so I couldn't jump in right away.
01:02So I came and monitored them for a week.
01:05And this week, officially this week on Monday, I took over and everyone trained together.
01:11For now, it's good. At most, it was good. We'll see how it goes.
01:17Regarding Thailand's Sukansi target, it is considered too far.
01:20Sharmendran put his personal target to make a positive decision in the first three months.
01:29I have no problem at all. If some coaches come, I'm still willing to learn from them, help them.
01:36If we can do something good, they said they will continue our contract until the end of 2025.
01:46So that's the initial plan they gave me.
01:51So definitely they didn't give it to me straight away.
01:54They said, okay, I want to see the performance first. I said, okay, no problem.
