'Jangan terlalu mengejar prestij'

Skuad bola sepak negara meraih anugerah khas hasil kejayaan memenangi pingat emas pada Sukan SEA 2009 di Laos.


PEMIMPIN persatuan sukan diingat supaya tidak terlalu mengejar prestij sehingga mengabaikan pembangunan sukan dan atlet.

Peringatan itu dikeluarkan oleh Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin pada sidang media selepas menyampaikan Anugerah SAM-100Plus 2009 anjuran Persatuan Penulis-Penulis Sukan Malaysia (SAM) di Hotel Hilton, Petaling Jaya semalam.

"Sesetengah pemimpin sukan melihat kedudukan mereka dalam persatuan-persatuan sukan tertentu sebagai batu loncatan dan mengharapkan faedah untuk diri sendiri... dapat pergi makan angin, dapat duduk di hadapan sebagai presiden.


"Tetapi jangan sampai bila kita mahukan prestij itu dan kedudukan kita dihormati, kita langgar prinsip-prinsip semangat kesukanan dan akhirnya yang rugi ialah sukan negara," tegas beliau.

Beliau juga meminta amalan politiking dalam persatuan perlu dihentikan segera kerana pembangunan sukan yang dirancang akan terus dikaburi dengan permasalahan yang timbul.

"Masalah politik dalam persatuan sukan sudah wujud sejak lama dulu. Zaman saya dulu pun (ketika menjadi Menteri Belia dan Sukan), saya banyak berhadapan dengan banyak persatuan sukan yang menghadapi masalah kepimpinan.


"Kalau soal pokok ialah bukan masalah kepimpinan tetapi persoalan untuk memajukan sukan, maka tak perlu ada perebutan jawatan," katanya.

Muhyiddin berkata, Akta Pembangunan Sukan sedia ada sekarang tidak dapat menyelesaikan semua permasalahan berhubung isu sukan selagi pemimpin persatuan masih lagi wujud amalan politiking.

"Apa yang kita lihat sekarang yang menjadi mangsa ialah sukan dan atlet. Soal pokok kini ialah pemimpin perlu ada disiplin, nilai kepimpinan, akhlak, persefahaman dan bertolak ansur," katanya.

Akibat daripada itu, beliau berkata, banyak bakat baru sukan tidak dapat diketengahkan.

Terdahulu, dalam ucapannya Muhyiddin berkata, pemimpin sukan perlu mengurangkan amalan politiking dalam persatuan, sebaliknya memberi tumpuan penuh kepada usaha memaksimumkan peningkatan tahap atlet supaya mampu menggegar pentas dunia.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
