Bukan rezeki saya - Aminuddin

Oleh MUSTAPA LAKAWA

PENGURUS Besar Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM), Aminuddin Nasir mahu semua pihak menerima secara positif peletakan jawatannya dalam badan sukan olahraga negara itu.

Sambil menyifatkan ia sebagai keputusan terbaik demi masa depan sukan tersebut, Aminuddin bagaimanapun enggan menyalahkan mana-mana pihak di sebalik keputusan mengejut yang dibuatnya itu.

"Dalam sukan, apa-apa boleh berlaku dan mungkin rezeki saya tiada di sini (KOAM)," jelas Aminuddin kepada Kosmo! semalam.

"Secara jujurnya, biarlah saya tinggalkan kesatuan ini dengan cara baik tanpa mahu menimbulkan sebarang masalah kepada pihak lain.

"Mungkin juga dengan keputusan ini, pertelagahan yang sering berlaku dalam KOAM akan menjadi semakin kurang."

Aminuddin dilantik sebagai Pengurus Besar KOAM bagi menggantikan Lt. Kol (B) Hamid Barkat pada Januari 2007.

Menurutnya lagi, surat peletakan jawatan telah dihantar kepada Presiden KOAM, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim pada 17 November lalu.

Begitupun Aminuddin enggan mengulas keputusannya itu walaupun wujud laporan yang mengaitkan ia berpunca daripada isu Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Angkatan Tentera (POAAT).

"Saya tidak mahu menyalahkan mana-mana pihak dan biarlah keputusan ini dipandang dari sudut positif.

"Saya tidak mahu bermasam muka dengan sesetengah pihak hanya kerana isu ini kerana dunia sukan kita cukup kecil dan bila-bila masa kita boleh berjumpa.

"Namun, saya boleh katakan bahawa hati saya cukup dekat dengan masalah-masalah atlet kerana saya juga adalah bekas atlet.

"Jadi, jika timbul sebarang masalah, saya begitu terasa dan mungkin juga kerana saya pernah melalui perkara yang sama," jelas Aminuddin yang juga bekas atlet lumba basikal negara.

"Apa pun, saya tetap terima semua situasi ini sebagai asam garam dalam dunia sukan dan saya boleh katakan bahawa rezeki saya sudah tiada di sini."

Sementara itu, Aminuddin juga berharap penggantinya selepas ini mampu menjalankan tugas dengan baik demi memajukan sukan olahraga negara.

"Posisi ini (pengurus besar) cukup bagus kerana kita akan berhubung terus dengan semua pihak termasuk atlet dan pihak pengurusan. Apa yang penting individu terbabit perlu bijak menyesuaikan diri dengan situasi dalam KOAM," tambahnya.

"I am confident they (Uber Cup team) will be able to produce a similar surprise. Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup?

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...

Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’

Saya setuju. We are working on more coaches! “ @ManOlimpik : Malaysian junior athletes are just too ‘lembik’ http://t.co/7D7wmHWaNy ” — Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) June 10, 2014 The benchmark. Can our junior athletes train as hard as Malaysia's world No.1 badminton player, Lee Chong Wei? “IT IS okay lah. The training is not too bad lah. I will try lah … Wah, so hard lah today.” These are some of the common statements I hear from our juniors nowadays. It is not only in badminton. It is the easy-going, laid-back attitude and lack of competitiveness at grassroots level that we have problems producing quality players. I have travelled quite a bit. After ending my decade-long career with the national team, I went to play in the league in Europe. It’s different there. The European athletes know what they want. And they do it with real focus. Even the young ones possess admirable self-control and show a high level of commitment. During my time in the ...
