PUTRAJAYA - Sukan Paralimpik akan mempunyai pusat pembangunan mereka sendiri yang serba canggih dan memenuhi keperluan atlet orang kurang upaya (OKU) bernilai RM40 juta.

Ketika mengumumkannya, Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, ia bertujuan mengiktiraf sumbangan atlet paralimpik dengan menyediakan kemudahan terbaik untuk mereka.

"Pusat pembangunan Sukan Paralimpik berhampiran Kompleks Sukan Kg. Pandan itu nanti apabila siap nanti, boleh dianggap model yang terbaik di Asia Tenggara.

"Ia memiliki semua kemudahan yang mesra atlet paralimpik di negara ini serta kelengkapannya yang serba canggih seperti asrama dan pelbagai gelanggang untuk OKU," katanya.

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

Sehingga ini katanya, kerja-kerja konsultan dan lakaran bangunan sudah siap dilaksanakan dan hanya menunggu kebenaran daripada Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) untuk meluluskannya.

Sekiranya semuanya berjalan lancar kata beliau, Pusat Pembangunan Sukan Paralimpik itu akan siap dua tahun dari sekarang.

"Pembinaan pusat yang boleh dianggap cukup sempurna itu merupakan satu lagi langkah ke depan buat atlet paralimpik negara," katanya.

Mengenai seminar pembangunan sukan paralimpik yang julung-julung kali diadakan, Ahmad Shabery berkata, ia sebagai antara persiapan untuk menghadapi Sukan Para-ASEAN di Kuala Lumpur, Ogos ini.

"Kita bukan sahaja mahukan publisiti tetapi ingin mewujudkan kesedaran di kalangan rakyat negara ini untuk bersama-sama menjadi sukarelawan bagi temasya sukan tersebut," tegasnya.

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 press clippings on the 24 April 2008

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...
