Public invited to witness no holds barred simulation ties

KUALA LUMPUR: The squads for the Thomas and Uber Cup Finals will be involved in simulation ties at the Juara Stadium in Bukit Kiara tonight (6pm).
And national singles coach Misbun Sidek is hoping that the public will turn up to show their support for the players.

Malaysia are hosting the Finals of the world men’s and women’s team championships at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from May 9-16.

Tough task: Reserve Tan Chun Seang will take on Lee Chong Wei in the simulation match today.
“We are staging the simulation ties in the evening to follow the schedule for the Finals and it is also to get the public to come and see our players action,” said Misbun.
“We have assembled the best players we have for the event. I hope the Malaysian fans will turn up to fill the stadium to help us create the environment to get the players into the mood before the Finals.
“I am sure the shuttlers will hold nothing back as we are also giving cash incentives to the winning team.
“The simulation ties will involve all the selected shuttlers for the Finals and some of the back-up players. We will use the same format of three singles and two doubles.” Malaysia will only be allowed to use the actual competition venue from May 5 as the Badminton Association of Malaysia were unable to secure bookings for the teams to train there earlier.


For the Thomas Cup simulation tie, world No. 1 Lee Chong Wei will be going up against reserve singles player Tan Chun Seang in the first match.
The other singles matches involve Wong Choong Hann and Mohd Hafiz Hashim against back-up players Chan Kwong Beng and Liew Daren.
The top doubles pair Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong will take on Ong Soon Hock- Hoon Thien How while Mohd Fairuzizuan Mohd Tazari-Mohd Zakry Abdul Latif will play against Mak Hee Chun-Tan Wee Kiong.

The match-ups for the Uber Cup ties will be decided today.

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...

KBS realistik

TERUJA...Shabery (dua dari kanan) melancarkan Logo Tahun Industri Sukan 2011-2012 di Casa 1, MSN, semalam.    KETIKA beberapa sukan utama diletakkan sasaran meraih pingat khususnya emas di Sukan Olimpik 2012 London, penyertaan bola sepak dan hoki sebagai keluarga baru program Road To London pula dilihat sekadar membantu mereka melepasi kelayakan. Mungkin bersikap lebih realistik dengan keupayaan kedua-dua sukan itu di pentas lebih tinggi, Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek mahu segala bantuan diberikan kepada sejumlah 50 pemain bola sepak dan hoki kebangsaan bagi membolehkan mereka tersenarai sebagai kontinjen ke London. “Bagi acara hoki dan bola sepak, kita tidak boleh melihat bantuan perlu diberi selepas mereka layak tetapi kita akan cuba bantu mereka supaya mereka layak. “Tiada kompromi terhadap misi mendapatkan emas pertama tetapi sasaran kita tahun ini ialah mendapatkan seberapa ramai atlet ke Sukan Olimpik,” katanya selepas mempen...
