Terbang tinggi




SYARIKAT penerbangan tambang murah, AirAsia akan terus terbang tinggi. Mereka bakal menjadi rakan karib kelab bola sepak terkemuka England, Manchester United.

AirAsia kini dikatakan sedang mengadakan perbincangan dengan United mengenai kemungkinan untuk menjadi penaja jersi kelab dari Old Trafford itu.

Ketua eksekutifnya, Tony Fernandes dilaporkan berada di London kelmarin untuk berjumpa dengan pegawai United bagi membincangkan kemungkinan itu.

“Memang tidak dinafikan langkah ini akan membawa banyak kebaikan kepada United dan ia dilihat pelaburan yang berbaloi,” kata Fernandez dalam laman blognya.

“Kami tidak akan menjadi jenama global hari ini jika kami tidak membuat pelaburan awal. Persoalan sekarang, adakah kami perlu menambahnya dan itu yang akan dinilai terlebih dahulu.”

United sebelum ini memberitahu, segala prospek penajaan baru berkemungkinan besar perlu membayar lebih daripada 19 juta pound (RM101 juta) setahun yang merupakan nilai tajaan semasa oleh AIG.

“Secara jujurnya, saya tak tahu apakah keseluruhan nilai harga yang ditetapkan untuk keseluruhan pakej penajaan ini.

“Tapi perlu dinyatakan semua komitmen penjenamaan kami agar ia memberi impak kepada kami sendiri.”

Justeru, timbul tanda tanya sama ada AirAsia dan Fernandes sanggup mengeluarkan jumlah wang melebihi RM101 juta setahun bagi memenuhi kehendak penajaan yang ditetapkan United itu. – AP

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 ...
