Shahidan akan pertahan jawatan




PRESIDEN Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM), Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim akan mempertahankan jawatannya pada mesyuarat agung tahunan persatuan itu bulan depan.

Bekas Menteri Besar Perlis itu berkata, dia masih berupaya memimpin persatuan itu walaupun ada pihak menunjukkan minat untuk merebut jawatan berkenaan.

Tanpa menyatakan calon yang berhasrat untuk merebut jawatan itu, dia menjelaskan bahawa perkara itu mungkin sukar dilakukan kerana mereka yang berhasrat masih berada di luar KOAM.

Bercakap kepada Bernama di Kangar semalam, Shahidan yang menerajui KOAM sejak 2006 berkata: "Timbalannya, Karim Ibrahim juga akan mempertahankan jawatan itu jika ada pertandingan.

"Kami telah membentuk gandingan mantap dan ini bermakna saya serasi dengan Karim. Oleh kerana kami serasi maka kami akan mempertahankan jawatan."

KOAM dijadualkan mengadakan mesyuarat agung tahunan pada 14 Disember ini dan pencalonan ditutup 5 Disember.

Shahidan berkata, KOAM adalah penyumbang pingat yang terbesar kepada kontinjen negara pada Sukan SEA edisi ke-24 di Korat, Thailand tahun lepas dan yakin akan terus memberi sumbangan besar kepada negara pada temasya yang sama di Laos pada tahun 2009.

Katanya, bagi memastikan persediaan rapi dan prestasi atlet berada dalam keadaan sempurna, KOAM memerlukan barisan kepimpinan yang mantap.

Shahidan berkata di bawah pindaan perlembagaan KOAM, semua jawatan akan dipertandingkan setiap tiga tahun.

Dalam perlembagaan KOAM sekarang, jawatan presiden dan dua naib presiden dipertandingkan setiap dua tahun manakala bagi jawatan timbalan presiden dan dua lagi naib presiden juga untuk tempoh sama tetapi ia bersilih ganti antara pemilihan jawatan presiden dan timbalan presiden.

Ini bermakna KOAM mengadakan pemilihan pucuk pemimpinnya setiap tahun.

"Pindaan perlembagaan ini akan memberi ruang kepada barisan pemimpin memberi perkhidmatan yang lebih sempurna," katanya. - Bernama'

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 ...

Organising Major Sports Events Can Inspire Sports Culture Among The People - Khairy

PUTRAJAYA, June 5 (Bernama) -- Organising major sports events can help inspire sports culture among the people and ensure a healthy lifestyle said Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin. Khairy said the Tour of Malaysia cycling race organised since 1963, for example, can encourage more people to take the sport in a more competitive way or just for recreation purposes. "A study carried out by a world renown medical journal, The Lancet, revealed that 61 percent of adults in Malaysia do not engage themselves in active sports. "A study by the Health Ministry revealed that only 25 percent of Malaysians exercise," he said in his speech when launching the 2013 Tour of Malaysia (Jelajah Malaysia) at the Youth and Sports Ministry, here, Wednesday. "Cycling, though not as popular here as in countries like Denmark, the activity is becoming popular among the people as can be seen through an increase in sale of bicycles for recreation," he sa...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...
