H1N1: KBS bertindak bawa ke kabinet


PUTRAJAYA - Kecewa dengan apa yang berlaku, Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek bertindak membawa isu pertelagahan berhubung wabak selesema babi atau influenza A (H1N1) antara empat kementerian ke kabinet tidak lama lagi.

Kementerian yang dimaksudkan adalah Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS), Kementerian Kesihatan, Kementerian Pelajaran dan Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi.

Sambil mengakui ada perbezaan pandangan dan masalah penyelarasan dalam membuat keputusan, Ahmad Shabery mahu perkara ini dapat diselesaikan segera agar atlet negara tidak menjadi mangsa.

"Saya akan bawa masalah ini untuk mendapat perhatian kabinet supaya selepas ini akan ada pelarasan dalam membuat keputusan.

"Memang ada pandangan berbeza antara empat kementerian ini dalam membuat keputusan berhubung penyertaan atlet elit dan pelapis negara ke kejohanan di luar negara," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian selepas merasmikan Seminar Pembangunan Sukan Paralimpik Prestasi Tinggi Malaysia di sini, semalam.

Penyertaan atlet negara menjadi caca merba sejak kebelakangan ini berikutan wabak selesema babi yang melanda dunia ketika ini.

Sehingga ini dua penyertaan kontinjen negara terpaksa dibatalkan pada saat akhir iaitu ke Sukan Universiti Dunia di Serbia dan terbaru Sukan Remaja Asia di Singapura.

Ia berlaku disebabkan Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi dan Kementerian Pelajaran mengeluarkan arahan tidak membenarkan mereka mengambil bahagian.

Sedangkan Kementerian Kesihatan dan KBS pula tidak mempunyai masalah untuk memberi lampu hijau kepada dua kontinjen negara asalkan bukan ke negara yang berisiko tinggi.

Dalam hal ini, timbul persoalan tentang arahan kementerian mana yang mahu dipatuhi dan didengar?

Siapa pula yang akan menanggung kerugiannya selepas belanja besar dikeluarkan untuk melatih atlet negara, memberi vaksin, mengadakan pemilihan dan sebagainya?

Tiadanya penyelarasan dalam membuat keputusan menyebabkan atlet negara yang telah melakukan persiapan berbulan-bulan menjadi mangsa perbezaan pandangan empat kementerian ini.

Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup?

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 ...
