'Bukan masa cari pengalaman'



JANGAN ada istilah sekadar ingin menimba pengalaman apabila pada Sukan SEA ke-25 di Laos bulan depan.

Itu amaran Ketua Kontinjen negara, Datuk Dr. Ramlan Abd. Aziz kepada semua wakil negara yang akan beraksi pada temasya terbesar di Asia Tenggara itu bermula 9 hingga 18 Disember ini.

Menurut Ramlan, Sukan SEA bukan lagi medan untuk menimba pengalaman sama ada seseorang itu atlet muda yang membuat penampilan pertama.

Dr. Ramlan yang juga Ketua Pengarah Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) mendesak agar setiap atlet yang diberi peluang beraksi di Laos memberikan yang terbaik dan cuba untuk meraih keputusan yang paling memuaskan.

"Bagi saya, istilah menimba pengalaman atau medan pendedahan bukanlah istilah yang sesuai digunakan pada temasya Sukan SEA ketika ini," katanya ketika melawat skuad petangue negara menjalani latihan di Kompleks Sukan Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Taman Keramat semalam.

"Meskipun terdapat ramai atlet muda yang baru pertama kali mewakili negara ke Sukan SEA, namun mereka harus menggunakan peluang ini sebaik mungkin.

"Mereka tidak boleh menganggap bahawa penampilan mereka di Laos hanyalah untuk menimba pengalaman. Mereka tidak harus mempersiakan peluang yang ada.

"Mereka sepatutnya menjadikan Sukan SEA ini sebagai permulaan untuk mencatat kejayaan. Apa yang paling penting, mereka harus berikan aksi terbaik kerana hanya dengan itu sahajalah, mereka akan mempunyai peluang untuk membuat kejutan."

Sementara itu, Ramlan turut berharap setiap atlet yang akan beraksi pada Sukan SEA tahun ini mengamalkan gaya hidup yang positif selain cuba untuk menyelesaikan sebarang masalah yang boleh mengganggu tumpuan ketika beraksi di Laos.

"Sebagai atlet, mereka seharusnya mempunyai tanggungjawab terhadap diri sendiri dan juga kepada negara," tambah Dr. Ramlan.

"Saya bukan ingin mencampur urusan peribadi tetapi selaku atlet yang bakal membawa nama negara di pentas antarabangsa, kehidupan mereka sudah tidak menjadi hal peribadi.

"Mereka harus bijak menjalani kehidupan sesuai dengan taraf mereka selaku atlet berprestasi tinggi. Jangan jalani gaya hidup yang berisiko seperti meminum arak, berkunjung ke kelab malam ataupun merokok.

"Saya juga harap setiap atlet menyelesaikan semua masalah yang ada sebelum berlepas ke Laos kerana saya tidak mahu tumpuan mereka terjejas ketika beraksi." KOSMO

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...

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...
