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...

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...
