KUALA LUMPUR - Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) mahu menggunakan pendekatan baru dalam menghasilkan atlet berpotensi tinggi dan mewujudkan impak lebih besar di peringkat antarabangsa.

Menterinya, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, pendekatan baru yang mahu dilaksanakan oleh KBS itu adalah mencari bakat-bakat baru pada usia muda oleh badan tertentu.

Katanya, pendekatan yang digunapakai ketika ini adalah kaedah lama dan tidak lagi relevan dalam mencungkil atlet berbakat negara pada masa depan.

Jelasnya, jika pemilihan atlet pelapis hanya bergantung kepada kejohanan peringkat sekolah sahaja, ia sudah ketinggalan dan ia tidak akan memperbaiki tahap pencapaian sukan Malaysia di pentas antarabangsa.

"Kita tidak mahu lagi bergantung kepada kejohanan yang dianjurkan di peringkat sekolah (menengah) sebagai medan mencungkil bakat-bakat baru.

"Pemilihan atlet negara tidak seharusnya daripada cara tersebut. Ia adalah kaedah lama dan negara pasti tidak akan mencapai perubahan jika cara ini diteruskan.

"Saya melihat bahawa perlunya ada satu badan yang bertanggungjawab mengenalpasti bakat di peringkat umur muda lagi (enam atau tujuh tahun)," katanya selepas mengadakan tinjauan di Stadium Hoki Tun Razak, dekat sini semalam.

Ahmad Shabery berkata, untuk menghasilkan atlet berprestasi tinggi dan berdaya saing di peringkat dunia, golongan tersebut perlu dibentuk dan dikawal sejak dari kecil lagi.

Sebagai contoh katanya, pemain badminton Indonesia, Taufek Hidayat sudah mula mencipta kejuaraan ketika berumur 16 tahun dan mula dibentuk sejak usia muda, katanya.

Untuk itu katanya, jika Malaysia masih mengamalkan gaya pemilihan atlet kebangsaan menerusi kejohanan peringkat sekolah, ia sudah terlambat kerana golongan tersebut sudah berusia dan sukar untuk dibentuk.

Jelasnya, KBS perlu menggunakan mekanisme baru dalam menghasilkan atlet yang lebih berdaya saing dan berpotensi tinggi.

Ditanya sama ada badan tertentu itu akan diwujudkan di bawah KBS atau pihak swasta, Ahmad Shabery berkata, satu penyelidikan terperinci akan dilakukan.

Tambahnya, dia juga akan mengadakan perbincangan yang lebih mendalam bersama Kementerian Pelajaran mengenai sistem pembelajaran untuk golongan muda yang terpilih dalam pendekatan baru KBS tersebut.-UTUSAN MALAYSIA

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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 ...

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...
