Kita tak sasar lebih - Shabery



MALAYSIA tidak mensasarkan pungutan emas yang tinggi pada temasya Sukan SEA di Laos kerana banyak acara yang menjadi kelebihan kepada negara tidak dipertandingkan.

Demikian tegas Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek (gambar) semalam.

"Laos tidak mempertandingkan acara yang menjadi lubuk emas bagi Malaysia seperti gimnastik, gimrama, tenpin boling, skuasy, terjun, ekuestrian, hoki lelaki dan wanita, boling padang, polo, pelayaran dan triatlon," katanya kepada selepas merasmikan Persidangan Dunia Belia Kesatuan Jaringan Antarabangsa-Global di ibu negara semalam.

Untuk rekod, Malaysia telah pun kehilangan 32 pingat emas daripada acara yang digugurkan oleh Laos pada temasya sukan itu yang akan mempertandingkan 384 pingat emas menerusi 25 acara sukan termasuk sukan tradisional seperti renang sirip, timang bulu ayam dan muay thai.

Kontinjen negara hanya mensasarkan kutipan antara 30 hingga 35 pingat emas menerusi 21 acara sukan yang disertai.

Malaysia akan mengambil bahagian dalam acara renang dan terjun, taekwondo, memanah, olahraga, badminton, snuker & billiard, tinju, lumba basikal, bola sepak, golf, judo, karate, silat, petanque, sepak takraw, menembak, ping pong, tenis, bola tampar, angkat berat dan wusyu.

Ahmad Shabery berkata, pada tahun depan atlet negara akan berdepan dengan kejohanan sukan yang lebih besar iaitu Sukan Komanwel di New Delhi, India (3 hingga 14 Oktober 2010) dan Sukan Asia di Guangzhou, China (12 hingga 27 November 2010).

"Harapan dan sasaran yang lebih besar perlu diletakkan pada Sukan Komanwel dan Sukan Asia pada tahun depan kerana lebih banyak acara yang dipertandingkan pada kedua-dua temasya tersebut," katanya.

Sementara itu, Ahmad Shabery turut meluahkan rasa kecewanya dengan sikap segelintir akhbar tempatan yang kurang melaporkan berita sukan tempatan berbanding dengan laporan sukan luar negara.

"Ada akhbar tempatan langsung tidak menyiarkan berita sukan tempatan dan perkara seperti ini tidak sepatutnya berlaku kerana ia akan merosakkan pembangunan industri sukan negara," katanya. - Bernama

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 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...
