About Us

What is Borak-Borak Floorball?

Borak-Borak Floorball (BBF) was initiated by a group of three avid floorballers from Penang, Malaysia. The interest sparked off due to a certain passion for the sport and a keen desire to share that passion to others. With that, came the idea of 'borak-borak'.

What does the term "Borak-Borak" actually mean?

"Borak-borak" is a Malaysian lingo that equates to the English word "chit-chat". The phrase is commonly used and has somewhat the power to identify one's identity as a Malaysian. BBF is passionate to 'chit-chat' about the happenings and events of floorball, first in Penang and then the other parts of Malaysia. With that in mind, Borak-Borak Floorball came into existence.

Who are we?


BBF comprises mainly of three suspects under the pseudonyms of Jose, Bendy and Spritzer. However, BBF has also taken in hired-for-free reporters in their effort to cover as many grounds as possible.

NOTE: BBF is not an official website to any organization or governing body. We are merely a group of passionate floorballers who seek to share this passion to others. We strive to be courteous, neutral and honest in our opinions, thoughts, reviews and analyses.

Our vision?

BBF sought to 'talk big' and 'talk much' about floorball. We hope to represent the floorball community in Penang as well as the nation, Malaysia, in the bigger picture. We want to be a voice for floorball in the present and future generation, a voice to be heard not for recognition but for the ultimate growth and development of floorball in Malaysia.

APAC 2009: Team Roster

After much anticipation, the National Malaysia Men's Floorball Team will indeed be going down to Korea next week! Months and months of practice all boil down to this defining moment.
The Asia Pacific Floorball Championships (APAC) 2009 will be a challenge for the Malaysian Squad to raise the level of floorball standard of our country.

The National team will be guided by head coach Denise and assisted by player/coach Edward "The One" Lim.
The team consists of the following players:

JERSEY NO. PLAYERS POSITIONS CLUBS/ AFFILIATIONS
2 Sjaiful Anuar(C) Defender Selangor FA
4 Chiam Ter Min Centre Ztec 8cers FC
5 Edward Lim Forward Contact Sports FC
8 Sam Teoh Forward Innebandy! Co FC
10 Kenny Khoo Defender Contact Sports FC
11 Deswyn Wan Centre Innebandy! Co FC
13 Low Chong Guan Forward NTU Hurricanes
14 Christopher Koh Defender Minden Unihawks FC
17 Loh Jo-Wyee Forward Ztec 8cers FC
23 Mohd Hafidz Defender Selangor FA
27 Khor Kuan Yang Defender Frontliners FC
29 Tan Kok Ee Forward NTU Hurricanes
31 Kao Lin Ken Goalkeeper Innebandy! Co FC


There's about 2 and a half line max of players. All those "killers" and running up the hill training will sure do come in handy now. It will be a daunting task for the players as well as the coaches to come up with a better result this time around. After last year's embarrassing APAC outing in Perth, Australia, there is reason to bounce back harder this time.

Team Malaysia will be going up against Singapore, Korea, Japan, Australia and India. All of which are formidable opponents.
Can the Malaysia team prove something different this time?
Will they be a change in the Floorball scene in Malaysia?
Can they stand the test of pressure, expectation and fear?

Let's cheer the national team as they muster every bit of courage they have to go onboard this competition.
