PSM tidak wajar perbesarkan isu pemotongan geran: MOM

Oleh Lukman Salleh

PEMOTONGAN geran seharusnya tidak dijadikan isu oleh Persatuan Sepak Takraw Malaysia (PSM) sebaliknya adalah lebih bijak berfikiran rasional dengan mengkaji secara mendalam sebab kekalahan skuad di Laos untuk tampil lebih cemerlang di Sukan Asia 2010 di Guangzhou.

Setiausaha Kehormat Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM), Datuk Sieh Kok Chi, berkata adalah lebih baik PSM dan juga Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) bertenang dan mendahulukan kepentingan sepak takraw kerana kurang setahun saja lagi skuad negara akan berdepan cabaran lebih sengit di Guangzhou.

“Tidak ada guna untuk berbalah... ia tidak akan membawa keuntungan,” kata Kok Chi. “Adalah lebih baik bagi PSM menggerakkan semula jentera mereka, mengkaji di mana silapnya perencanaan di Laos dan kemudian bangkit lebih hebat dan bersemangat di Sukan Asia.


PSM tidak mempunyai banyak masalah lebih, biar kita fokus kepada isu sebenarnya iaitu kegagalan skuad di Laos dan cari jalan untuk memperbaiki keadaan.

“Malah saya yakin bahawa PSM boleh mencontohi skuad bola sepak, yang sering diperlekeh dan dikritik termasuk di Sukan Sea tetapi bangkit membuktikan sebaliknya dengan kejayaan gemilang di Vientiane.

“PSM boleh mencontohi. Justeru, tumpukan sepenuh perhatian untuk bangkit dan menafikan segala kritikan di Guangzhou nanti,” katanya.

Malah, Kok Chi turut mencadangkan supaya PSM melihat kepada kemungkinan untuk menumpukan kepada hanya satu acara sama ada berpasukan atau pun regu di Guangzhou nanti.

“Mungkin kita boleh mencuri salah satu pingat emas di Guangzhou sama ada dalam berpasukan atau pun regu bergantung di mana kekuatan skuad,” kata Kok Chi. “Jika kita berkeyakinan dalam regu, kita perlu memfokuskan untuk gandingan yang kuat... mungkin peluang kita meraih emas lebih cerah.”

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...
