JOHOR sudah bersedia menjadi tuan rumah terbaik Kejohanan Hoki Piala Dunia Remaja 2009 yang menyingkap tirai pada 7 sehingga 21 Jun ini.

Keyakinan itu terbit daripada nada suara Menteri Besar, Datuk Abdul Ghani Othman yang nyata berpuas hati dengan perkembangan terkini persiapan penganjuran sukan hoki bertaraf dunia tatkala melakukan lawatan singkat ke Stadium Hoki Taman Daya, petang semalam.

Beliau berpendapat betapa tempoh singkat yang diberi untuk memastikan segala kemudahan, terutama padang kedua seperti yang ditetapkan oleh Persekutuan Hoki Antarabangsa (FIH) sudah siap sepenuhnya dan tidak akan timbul masalah untuk pasukan yang bakal beraksi di gelanggang berkenaan.

“Dalam tempoh tiga bulan padang kedua yang membabitkan perbelanjaan RM5.6 juta sudah siap malah saya amat berpuas hati terutama kerja-kerja pembinaan itu begitu cekap dan yakin semua akan siap sepenuhnya dalam masa dua atau tiga hari lagi.

“Matlamat utama adalah ingin sekali lagi memastikan Johor menjadi tuan rumah yang terbaik selepas berpengalaman pada penganjuran sukan bertaraf antarabangsa dan saya yakin keperluan dari aspek teknikal terutama kepada pasukan beraksi dan pegawai kejohanan menepati kehendak masing-masing,” katanya.

Abdul Ghani menambah betapa kapasiti tempat duduk untuk kedua-dua gelanggang mampu memuatkan sehingga 2,500 penonton manakala jumlah perbelanjaan untuk kos pembinaan stadium dan penganjuran hampir mencecah RM23 juta.

Katanya, pembinaan stadium utama adalah RM16 juta dan untuk padang kedua yang memiliki padang rumput tiruan bermutu tinggi bernilai RM5.6 juta selain perbelanjaan penganjuran yang membabitkan RM1 juta.

Sementara itu, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia dan Sukan Negeri, Md Jais Sarday yang melakukan lawatan pada sebelah pagi turut berpuas hati dengan status stadium itu malah memaklumkan sejumlah 1,000 kain rentang dan tiga papan iklan sudah dipasang di sekitar jalan-jalan utama di Johor Bahru.

“Bagi memastikan kelancaran kejohanan hoki bertaraf dunia, sejumlah 300 pegawai dan sukarelawan akan terbabit selain penubuhan pasukan sorak yang terdiri dari pelajar sekolah bakal memeriahkan lagi saingan hoki itu,” kata Md Jais.

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 ...
