Atlit tak perlu terbabit dalam pengurusan persatuan: Mumtaz

ATLIT diminta kembali memberikan tumpuan kepada prestasi dan membawa pulang pingat untuk negara serta mengelak meluahkan sebarang rungutan kepada media tanpa merujuk terlebih dulu kepada persatuan sukan.

Bekas atlit negara, Datuk Paduka Mumtaz Jaafar, berkata perlakuan atlit masa kini nyata jauh berbeza dengan atlit pada zamannya yang menyuarakan sebarang masalah mereka menggunakan saluran yang betul.

“Kita perlu kembali kepada kaedah yang digunakan sebelum ini iaitu andai atlit mempunyai masalah, mereka boleh meluahkan kepada persatuan. Andai mereka tidak puas hati berkaitan jurulatih, mereka boleh adukan kepada jawatankuasa jurulatih.


“Sepatutnya atlit memberikan sepenuh tumpuan mereka untuk meningkatkan prestasi dan membawa pulang pingat, bukannya mencetuskan suasana yang kurang enak dalam persatuan,” katanya.

Beliau mengulas mengenai rasa tidak puas hati pemimpin dalam Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) mengenai kelantangan beberapa atlit menyuarakan rasa tidak puas hati mereka terhadap persatuan kepada media baru-baru ini.

Mumtaz yang juga Pengerusi Yayasan Kebajikan Atlit Kebangsaan ditemui selepas majlis pelancaran Pameran Sukan dan Dagangan Antarabangsa Malaysia 2009 yang bakal diadakan Jun depan. Pelancaran disempurnakan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.

Mumtaz berkata, secara peribadi, atlit tidak perlu terbabit dalam pengurusan dan pentadbiran persatuan kerana tugas mereka sebenarnya adalah memburu kecemerlangan dan mencipta nama di pentas lebih tinggi.

“Bagi saya, atlit yang gagal memberikan persembahan terbaik di pentas antarabangsa akibat masalah disiplin dan sebagainya, boleh dianggap sebagai pengkhianat negara kerana segala perbelanjaan latihan mereka ditanggung kerajaan menggunakan wang rakyat

“Malah, bagi saya, mereka juga tidak wajar terbabit dalam pengurusan dan mesyuarat persatuan kerana itu bukan tugas mereka. Tugas mereka di balapan,” katanya.

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...

Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob (centre) speaks to athletes after giving away the Olympic qualifying incentives in Putrajaya yesterday. — Pic: RAMDZAN MASIAM Thomas Cup Equally Important, Says Ismail PUTRAJAYA, April 23 (Bernama) -- Although Malaysia want badly a badminton gold at the Beijing Olympics in August, winning the Thomas Cup in Jakarta in May is equally important, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ismail Sabri Yaakob. "My ministry deems all events participated by the national badminton squad as important including the Thomas Cup, which Malaysia last won in 1992. "Statements made that the Beijing Olympics takes precedence over other events is not the position of the ministry," he told reporters at his office here today. Ismail said no matter what events Malaysians competed, seeking glory for the nation should be the overriding priority. He said this when asked to comment on remarks by national badminton chief coach Yap Kim Hock on...
