Menteri mahu muktamad isu jurulatih

MENTERI Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery mahu tampil mendengar cerita semua pihak dalam usaha menyelesaikan perbalahan yang tampak tercetus di antara jurulatih dan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) mengenai misi menghadapi Piala Thomas, Mei ini.

Dengan sasaran merangkul kejuaraan Piala Thomas seperti dalam bahaya akibat perselisihan pandangan antara BAM dengan jurulatih, Ahmad Shabery berkata, adalah tidak adil untuk mendengar cerita sebelah pihak saja.

“Saya akan dengar penjelasan daripada ketiga-tiga pihak iaitu pemain, jurulatih dan juga pihak pengurusan,” katanya pada sidang akhbar ketika meninjau persiapan skuad badminton negara di Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara, semalam. “Saya nak dapat maklumat daripada semua pihak jika ada sebarang perbalahan.

“Saya tidak boleh bergantung kepada (laporan) media saja, saya hendak dengar dulu daripada semua pihak.”

Ahmad Shabery berkata, jurulatih memainkan peranan penting kerana mereka bukan saja pelatih tetapi juga dianggap sebagai ‘bapa” atau pun mentor oleh pemain dan dia memberi jaminan akan meneliti peranan dimainkan pengendali terbabit.

Perbalahan antara BAM dan jurulatih bermula apabila badan induk badminton itu memberi amaran bahawa jurulatih bakal berdepan tindakan seandainya pasukan lelaki gagal meraih kejayaan cemerlang di Piala Thomas, menjadikan mereka sebagai 'kambing hitam.' 



Bagaimanapun, ketua jurulatih perseorangan, Rashid Sidek menganggap BAM tidak wajar meletakkan tanggung jawab sepenuhnya kepada jurulatih sebaliknya harus memikul bersama-sama jika skuad negara gagal, Mei ini.

Mengenai pengurusan BAM, yang kini tampak banyak diuruskan seorang pegawainya saja, Ahmad Shabery berkata, ia satu andaian yang tidak adil.

“Presiden BAM sekarang uzur dan dalam tempoh menjalani rawatan, sudah tentu akan ada orang yang bertanggung jawab. Kita tidak boleh buat andaian sedemikian.”

Ahmad Shabery berkata, dia akan turut mendapatkan penjelasan pihak pengurus mengenai dakwaan BAM berhutang dengan pemainnya.
“Saya ada dimaklumkan mengenai perkara itu,” katanya.

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 ...
