Better for Pandelela to have scholarships, says doting mum
For one, The Star will honour her with RM100,000, while Inti College Sarawak Campus is offering her a full scholarship if the athlete decides to continue her studies.
Adding to this, the diver will receive RM150,000 under Youth and Sports Ministry’s incentive scheme and a monthly pension of RM2,000.
Some of her supporters, even suggested that Pandelela should be conferred a datukship like national sportsmen Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Datuk Nicol David.

| On cloud nine: Hartini, who still chokes up at the mere mention of her daughter’s Olympic achievement, showing the media her children’s many medals. |
“We’re very happy and grateful to the Government and those from the private sector for acknowledging her achievement.
“Tertiary education is very important for her to better secure a career in any field that interests her when she no longer competes in the sport,” she told The Star when contacted yesterday.
Hartini, a housewife, was flown to London by Dutch Lady Malaysia on Aug 5 to watch Pandelela dive on Aug 8.
“We only managed to secure one ticket for the diving event and it was very memorable to watch my daughter in action. I’m so proud of her,” she said.
Hartini said she had to miss Pandelela at the semi-finals and finals but she added that it was alright because her daughter delivered a medal for the country. “I’m so happy and surprised when my husband (Pamg Joheng) told me about the good news over the phone as I was picking up my luggage at the arrival hall moments after I arrived at Kuala Lumpur last night (Friday).
“I only reached my home this morning (yesterday) nearly 1am,” she said.
Hartini said there was a lot of excitement in the house as there were many well-wishers and journalists going to their house.
On her London trip, Hartini who travelled with the parents of other athletes, said Dutch Lady Malaysia arranged a city tour for them on Aug 6 and 7.
“Among others, we went to the London Eye and Kensington Palace. We had a very lovely trip and the organiser took very good care of us. It was my second trip overseas after Palembang, Indonesia last year,” she said.
Pandelela is just your regular girl next door
“I love K-Pop. I’m also a big fan of Japanese anime,” Pandelela, 19, toldThe Star over the phone from London yesterday.
And when asked about her favourite anime show or character, she pondered for a while then answered: “I like so many, I can’t single out just one. That would be unfair to the other anime.”
An ardent K-Pop (short for Korean Pop), the Bidayuh girl said she had always enjoyed watching Super Junior — a boy band that at one point, comprised as many as 13 young, good-looking Korean men) and girl-power ensemble, Wonder Girls.
Right now, Pandelela is having a ball in London.

“After the results came in, I was all emotional. I just couldn’t help it.
“I cried. I was happy that so many others were also happy. I spoke to my father almost immediately. He congratulated me and told me that all my aunties and uncles were at our home in Kuching watching,” she said.
After her bronze night, Pandelela said she then spent another “very, very emotional day”.
“I really felt a bit sad that my parents weren’t around. My mother was only here until the quarter-finals, and I didn’t get to speak to her immediately after. She had left for the airport.”
Her mother, Hartini Lamin, 44, was on a Dutch Lady Malaysia’s sponsored trip to London between Aug 5 and 9. Her mother was actually on a return flight when Pandelela was competing in the finals.
The family, from a village near Bau, about 40km from Kuching, is not from a wealthy background.
Pandelela’s father Pamg Joheng, 46, is a daily paid labourer. She toldThe Star that the family is trying to venture into the restaurant business.
“My dad is trying it out. If it works out well, then I think the family will move back to the village.”
On what she missed about Sarawak, Pandelela said she missed her favourite dish — her mother’s fried sambal petai with shrimps.
She also mentioned of one being given the opportunity to talk with national shuttler and Olympic silver medallist, Datuk Lee Chong Wei.
“He is an inspiration to me. I watched him live on television.
“If I get to meet him, I just want to tell him this: ‘Don’t cry for your losses because I’ll cry too. It’s alright if you didn’t play a perfect game; we all have done our best.”
“Lulu” to her friends, Pandelela said she planned to continue her studies alongside her diving career. Insisting that she was far from being as good as she aimed to be, she would consider training overseas — if better opportunities hadn’t presented itself to her — using funds from her own earnings.
Following her bronze medal clinch in the women’s 10m platform diving final at the London Olympics, Pandelela has been a hit online.
On Facebook, photos of her are plastered all over the social network, with countless “likes” and “shares”. On Twitter, a fake Pandelela account has even been set up.
Across the front page of local dailies yesterday, photos of Pandelela were accompanied with headlines like “Diving Darling”, “Sarawak’s Pride” and “Sarawak hearts Pandelela!”
Over the weekend, Inti College Sarawak Campus announced that it would offer a sports scholarship to Pandelela, while Welfare, Women and Family Development Minister Datuk Fatimah Abdullah said her achievement was proof of Sarawakians being just as capable as Peninsular Malaysians when it came to sports.
Fatimah also urged the Federal Government to consider building a full-fledged sports school in Kuching, similar to the well-equipped Bukit Jalil Sports School in Kuala Lumpur, to further im-prove sports development in the state.
Meanwhile, Kuching South City Council declared that entrance to its swimming pool at Jalan Padungan would be free of charge on Sept 1 to commemorate the Pandelela’s landmark Olympic medal.
A Father’s Olympian Sacrifice

And if Malaysia’s new darling Pandelela Rinong drew even a little from her father’s drive and sacrifice, those were the things that started her journey towards Olympic bronze, a journey which by all indications, is far from over.
Pamg never went far in his studies.
Knowing just how tough life was without education, he vowed his children would never have to go through what he went through during his younger days. Staying close to his father’s principles, Pamg always reminded his children to plan ahead in life.
“My father used to tell me to plan two days ahead, so that we can live today,” Pamg told the New Sunday Times. It could be said that Pamg took his father’s words and built on it. Instead of planning two days ahead, he planned years ahead.
It was 12 years ago, when Pandelela was 7, that Pamg would take her and her elder brother, Pardika Indoma, 8, for diving lessons.
Despite earning only RM45 a day, the contract worker knew he had to sacrifice for his children’s future.
So, Pamg would hop on his trusty old Yamaha 80 motorcycle to send the siblings for training at the Stampark swimming pool in town, even breaking traffic rules to ensure they didn’t miss out. “I wanted them to be somebody.
I wanted them to be better than me and I am willing to do everything for them.”
When only Pandelela was picked for the state diving team then, Pamg was devastated.
The state coach told him that only Pandelela had the physique of a diver and her brother lacked that.
"I was very sad for my boy but I am happy for her at the same time. But at that young age, she needed support. She will never go far if she is separated from her brother," said Pamg.
Again, Pamg did what he had to do for his children; he spoke to the coach to let Pardika train together with the team, so that he could be close to his sister. The coach agreed.
As his family grew bigger with the birth of his third daughter, Pici Parnia, 14 years ago, Pamg saved some money to buy a car.
At that time, he could only afford a second hand Mitsubishi Trident to transport his family.
"It was nothing to shout about. It was a bit rusty, but it ferried us. Every time I had to send Pandelela to the airport or to pick her up, I felt a little shy coming with a car like that, but that was what I could afford then."
For a man who went through hardship in life, Pamg had never once given up on his children. Instead, he stayed close to them and gave them whatever support he could.
His drive and support proved vital for Pandelela on Friday.
On the 10m platform, a poor first dive saw her starting off in 10th position. But Pandelela fought back and eventually earned the bronze.
In doing so, she became the first Malaysian woman to win an Olympic medal and also the first to win a medal other than badminton.
But before the final, Pandelela had a case of the jitters. Who could blame her, especially when she had to compete against some of the best divers in the world?
It was the thought of her father that calmed her down.
"I told her to remember my teachings and that I will pray for her every hour until she goes through her events. I also told her to shout out my name if it helps her to feel better before her jump."
Pandelela did cry out his name, as she told her father on the phone when she won the bronze medal.
That was the happiest telephone call for Pamg and his two younger daughters, Pici and Parcelia Renyelia that morning, after watching her on the podium live on television.
Pamg said the family could only talk to Pandelela through the telephone since she became a national athlete. It was, he said, the heaviest price for the family to pay -- being apart from her.
"Over the past years, we have missed celebrating Gawai Dayak and Christmas with her. It is a sad thing for us, but we understand that she has a strict training regime to follow and we do not want to disturb that."
The only time Pandelela would be home with them was when there was an official event. After that, she had to go back to Kuala Lumpur on the same day.
The sports council did sponsor flight tickets for Pamg and his wife, but he said the expenses of staying in Kuala Lumpur would be too much for him to bear.
"Let her be with her mother... I can always talk to her on the phone and drive her around when she comes back. It would be like the old days when she was home.
"I hope the sports council will give her some sort of leave so we can spend time with her as a family. That is all I ask for," said Pamg.
Pamg no longer drives his old Mitsubishi Trident to pick Pandelela from the airport.
Last year, his daughter bought him a brand new silver Proton Exora to do that.

A Father's Sacrifice For His Olympian Daughter
KUCHING: His father's words and his own tough life. Those were the things Pamg Joheng drew upon to push him to sacrifice everything for his children.
And if Malaysia's new darling Pandelela Rinong drew even a little from her father's drive and sacrifice, those were the things that started her journey towards Olympic bronze, a journey which by all indications, is far from over.
Pamg never went far in his studies. Knowing just how tough life was without education, he vowed his children would never experience what he went through during his younger days. Staying close to his father's teaching, Pamg always reminded his children to plan ahead.
"My father used to tell me to plan two days ahead, so that we can live today," Pamg told the New Sunday Times.
It could be said that Pamg took his father's words and built on it. Instead of planning two days ahead, he planned years ahead. It was 12 years ago, when Pandelela was 7, Pamg would take her and her elder brother, Pardika Indoma, 8, for diving lessons.

Pandelela: Reward To Fund Studies And Career
“Wow, thank you very much. I'm so grateful,” the Olympic bronze medallist said when contacted over the phone yesterday.
The 19-year-old diver created sporting history by being Malaysia's first woman to win a medal at the Olympics. She came in third in the 10m platform event on Friday.
The group also announced a similar RM100,000 reward to Datuk Lee Chong Wei who won an Olympic silver medal in the badminton singles event.
The Youth and Sports Ministry praised The Star Media Group for offering the rewards to both Lee and Pandelela.
Deputy Minister Gan Ping Sieu said it was good to see corporate bodies contributing towards the country's sports development, and called for more help from the private sector.
“Incentives and rewards will spur them on and also encourage others to do better,” said Gan.
Pandelela will also receive RM150,000 under the Youth and Sports Ministry's incentive scheme and a monthly life pension of RM2,000.
Pandelela Just A Normal Teen
“I love K-Pop and enjoy Super Junior and Wonder Girls. I'm a big fan of Japanese anime,” the 19-year-old diving sensation said in a telephone interview from London yesterday.
Adding that she was having a ball at the London Olympics, Pandelela is just beginning to come to terms with her historic bronze medal feat in the 10m platform event on Friday.
“After the results came in, I was all emotional and cried. I spoke to my dad (over the telephone) almost immediately. He congratulated me and said all my aunties and uncles watched my feat on TV in Kuching,” she said.

| Full of pride: (From left) Pandelela’s sisters Parcelia Renyelia, 12, and Pici Parnia, 14, together with their parents browsing through newspapers featuring Pandelela on every cover. |
Hertini Lamin, 44, was on a sponsored trip to London from Aug 5 till Thursday, and was on her return journey when her daughter was competing in the final.
Pandelela said her family, who lives in a village near Bau about 40km from here, was trying to venture into the restaurant business.
Having been raised in near poverty, she spent her younger days following her dad Pamg Joheng, a daily paid labourer, from one construction site to another.
The flag bearer of the national contingent at the London Olympics opening ceremony has a burning desire: to speak to Malaysia's other London Olympic medallist, shuttler Datuk Lee Chong Wei, who broke down after failing narrowly to win the gold medal in the men singles final.
“Chong Wei is an inspiration to me. I watched that game live on TV. I want to tell him it's okay if we cannot be the best, but just that we should give it our all.”
Fondly called LuLu by her friends, Pandelela said she planned to continue with her studies and stay focused on her diving.
“I plan to follow my coach Yang Zhuliang to Australia. He has told us that he wants to return to his home in Australia,” said Pandelela, who had appealed to the National Sports Council to retain Yang's services.
Pandelela said Yang had told her that it would be possible for her to study and continue her training in Australia.

Patience Pays For Pandelela
The 19-year-old Bidayuh from Bau near here cried her heart out when she was reprimanded by her coach following her performance in the women’s 10m platform synchro event. She partnered Leong Mun Yee.
She was not angry. Instead it motivated her to make amends and she did just that during the women’s 10m individual platform.
When the ripples settled at the Aquatics Centre in London, Pandelela became the first Malaysian woman to win a medal in the Olympics, and the first medallist in an Olympic event other than badminton.

“I also advised her to try hard to win a medal in her individual event and I’m proud that she did just that,” Pandelela’s father Pamg Joheng toldThe Star yesterday.
He said starting from the preliminary round of the 10m individual platform event, he had been praying for his daughter’s success.
“I prayed every hour to ask God to show my daughter the winning way and thankfully, my prayers have been answered. I also told her to call me every time she wanted to make her jump,” he said.
“I’m very happy and very proud of her achievement. She has already fulfilled her dream to win an Olympic medal although it wasn’t gold.
“I’m thankful that she has won the bronze. I want every Malaysian to be thankful also because it’s not easy to compete against world-class divers.
“To qualify for the Olympic Games is also not easy,” said Pamg.
Pandelela called him early yesterday soon after she won the bronze.
“She was so happy although before the final, she also called me, saying that she was tired after the semi-finals.
“And I believe she won a medal because all Malaysians had prayed very hard for her success. As her father, I would like to thank all Malaysians for their support and prayers,” said Pamg.
However, Pandelela’s mother, who went to London on Aug 4, did not get the chance to see her daughter jump in the final as she had already left London at the time.
Pamg, when asked why his wife left early, said her trip to London was sponsored by Dutch Lady, which also arranged her schedule.
Hurrah For Pandelela From Her Alma Mater
Deep in their hearts, they knew the former student could deliver a medal and make the nation proud.
Principal Hassan Wa'Gani said Pandelela's achievement was an inspiration to many athletes in the state.

“We're all very proud of her. I have always reminded students that their success will always be the pride and joy of the school, state and country,” he said.
Pandelela created history by winning Malaysia's first-ever Olympics medal in a sport other than badminton. She is also the first Sarawakian to win an Olympic medal.
Hassan said Pandelela studied in Form One and Two at the school before leaving for Bukit Jalil Sports School in 2006.
“I taught her visual arts. She was a good, quiet and disciplined student,” he recalled.
He said another national diver Bryan Nickson Lomas also studied in the school before being transferred to Bukit Jalil, adding that SMK Tabuan Jaya acted as a feeder school of athletes for the country.
He hoped the Government would pay more attention to rural schools' needs in improving sports development.
Diver’s Dad Beams With Pride
It was to honour a promise made to his daughter, national diver Pandelela Rinong.

Pandelela then made history by becoming the first Malaysian to clinch a bronze in women's 10m platform individual final in the early hours of Friday (Malaysian time).
It was a magnificent medal, considering the pressure the 19-year-old was under after a poor first dive left her in 10th place in the 12-diver field.
Pamg, 46, was proud of his 19-year old daugther, the eldest in a family of four. , had contributed to Malaysia's sporting history by being the non-badminton player to win an Olympic medal.
“I promised her before the Olympics that I would not go to work the next day if she won a medal. She wanted me to rest at home and share her glory.
“Watching television this morning, at first I thought she had no chance. But surprisingly, other divers also did not do well and I am proud that she fought her way back.
“She has always had a mind of her own and did not let the pressure get to her. The whole Bidayuh community is also proud of what she has achieved,” said Pamg, who added that he would have loved to go to London to watch her compete but had to work to support the family.
His wife Hartini Anak Lamim, 44, had gone to London to be with Pandelela - a trip made possible by Dutch Lady Malaysia, which sponsored her flight and stay there.
“Pandelela has helped the family from the incentives she earned over the past two years. I'm glad to see her rewarded. She has been training very hard and has not returned to stay with us all this year.
“There was once when she came to attend a function but flew back to KL immediately. But I understand as she needs to prepare for competitions,” he added.
Pandelela is expected to return home to a big reception by the Sarawak government and her community next week.
On what awaits Pandelela when she gets home, Pamg said she was a simple person.
”She does not ask for anything but usually asks her mother to cook her favourite dish - fried sambal petai with prawns.”
There are rumours that she would be rewarded with a Datukship by the state government.
Meanwhile in SEPANG Hartini said she could not hold back her tears when her daughter received the bronze medal.
“I am so proud of her. She injured her back during a training session before leaving for London, yet she was so determined to give her best,” she said at the at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport upon returning from London last night.
Hartini said Pandelela, who began training since she was eight, was a very disciplined and motivated girl, who never gave up on her dreams.
“I knew she was in pain, but she did not want to give up,
“I just kept praying very hard for her to win,” she said, adding that the family's humble background had never been a obstacle for Pandelela.

Olympic-bound Diver Ken Nee Has Started Planning For His Retirement
But you won’t find him flipping through fancy car magazines or comics, though. He is more interested in business related and self-improvement books.
 |
“I also like to read magazines on properties and stock options ... things like that,” said Ken Nee, the oldest of three siblings.
“It is not boring you know. I find it interesting and stimulating as it teaches us lessons to apply in real life.
“My parents have been property consultants for a long time and their influence has rubbed off on me.
“I was taught the value of properties from young.”
Ken Nee has also attended a few seminars on self-improvement in the past.
“I was inspired by former top swimmer Alex Lim (Keng Liat) a few years back to attend one of these seminars,” said Ken Nee, who lives with his family in Cheras.
“He said that the seminars showed him what one can do to improve one’s quality of life.
“He applied it to his life and invested in properties with the money he received under the incentive scheme so that he would have something to fall back on when he retires from swimming.
“Now he is coaching but he also has properties of his own.
“Many athletes do not know what they are going to do once they retire and I hope I won’t be caught in that situation.”
But Ken Nee, who drives an orange-coloured MyVi, also knows how to enjoy life. One of his favourite past times is watching movies with his friends.
“I’ll watch any movie as long as it is entertaining. Training takes up a lot of our time and there isn’t much spare time left for ourselves,” he said.
“Sunday is the only time we have to catch up on what’s happening outside of our sport.”
While many of his team-mates have called it a day, Ken Nee continues to slog on simply because of his passion for diving.
Ken Nee is one of only two divers left from the pioneer group of trainees first identified and trained for the 1998 Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur.
The National Sports Council (NSC) started the Jaya ’98 diving project in 1994, when Malaysia got the Commonwealth Games host job.
Ken Nee bagged his first diving gold medal for Malaysia at the 1999 SEA Games in Brunei and has since gone on to achieve a couple of historic firsts.
He was the first medal winner for Malaysia at the Commonwealth and Asian Games as well as one of the first Olympians for diving.
London will only be his second Olympic outing. He was among the four divers who qualified for their first Olympics in Sydney in 2000. He then took a two-year break to concentrate on his studies and missed out on Athens four years later.
Ken Nee again missed out when he failed to make the cut for the last Olympics in Beijing.
“This will be my last Olympics as there are younger divers coming up.
“I am keen to take up a coaching role but if that doesn’t work out, I’ll have to look at other options. I will decide after the London Games,” said Ken Nee, who will compete in the men’s 3m springboard at the Olympics.
Ken Nee admits that he is not a medal hope as Malaysia have other divers – like Pandelela Rinong, Bryan Nickson Lomas and Huang Qiang – with realistic chances of finishing on the podium for the first time in Olympic history.
“We have three chances to fight for a medal as we have qualified for three out of the four synchro disciplines where the finals are held straight away,” said Ken Nee.
“I am just going for the individual springboard, where I hope to sign off by reaching the semi-finals this time.
“We only started diving at the Olympics in Sydney and none of us have made it past the preliminary rounds of the individual competition until now.”
Malaysia have eight divers heading for London, the biggest squad going to the Olympics this time.
The divers have been training in China for the last two months and will only return home for two days this weekend to pick up their Olympic accreditations before heading for London.

DIVING: Bad Times Only Motivate Jun Hoong

For Cheong Jun Hoong, it was only one more obstacle to overcome in her quest to become a successful national diver.
It was only six years ago that Jun Hoong was in tears while watching her teammates in action on TV at the Doha Asian Games.
