MSN arah BAM kaji program


Zolkples


MAJLIS Sukan negara (MSN) mendesak agar Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) mengkaji semula program-program yang telah dirancang sepanjang tahun 2010.
Menurut Ketua Pengarah MSN, Datuk Zolkples Embong, BAM harus lebih selektif dalam memilih kejohanan yang harus disertai oleh pemain-pemain negara.
Semalam, Zolkples mengumumkan untuk mengurangkan peruntukan yang akan diberikan kepada BAM dan juga persatuan-persatuan sukan lain di Malaysia meskipun sedar terdapat banyak kejohanan sukan yang akan berlangsung sepanjang tahun ini.


"Memang kami telah mengurangkan peruntukan tetapi bukan untuk BAM sahaja tetapi juga untuk sukan-sukan lain," kata Zolkples selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat jawatankuasa kerja bersama (JKK) antara MSN-BAM di Bukit Jalil semalam.
"Saya tahu terdapat banyak kejohanan buat pasukan badminton negara tahun ini tetapi MSN memberi keutamaan pada Sukan Asia dan juga Sukan Komanwel selain Piala Thomas.
"Daripada apa yang saya lihat, penyertaan buat pemain beregu negara pada kejohanan-kejohanan antarabangsa agak munasabah tetapi tidak begitu praktikal buat pemain perseorangan.
"BAM harus lebih selektif agar jangan ada pemain yang mengalami kecederaan. Tambahan pula, kelayakan untuk ke Sukan Olimpik London 2012 juga masih belum bermula.
"BAM juga harus kaji strategi mengapa pemain handalan dunia, Lin Dan menarik diri daripada beberapa kejohanan penting. Mungkin mereka ada strategi dan inilah yang harus dikaji oleh BAM."
Begitupun, MSN menjelaskan, kelulusan peruntukan telah diberikan kepada BAM untuk program sehingga hujung Mac ini sebelum satu lagi mesyuarat JKK bersama BAM diadakan sekali lagi selepas Tahun Baru Cina bulan depan.
Dalam pada itu, MSN turut menjelaskan, pihaknya tidak mempunyai peruntukan untuk menanggung jurulatih beregu baru negara, Tan Kim Her untuk membantu persediaan skuad Piala Thomas negara April ini.
"BAM ada mencadangkan Kim Her tetapi bagi kami, keperluannya tidak perlu dalam persiapan skuad Piala Thomas negara tahun ini," tambah Zolkples.
"Kita tiada peruntukan buat Kim Her. Saya harap persediaan skuad Piala Thomas yang telah dijalankan sejak tahun lepas tidak diganggu."
Awal tahun ini, Kim Her yang juga semi finalis Sukan Olimpik Atlanta 1996 bersama Soo Beng Kiang, telah dilantik untuk membimbing pemain beregu negara.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...
