RM8j untuk Yayasan MOM dilulus

MAJLIS Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) meluluskan dana permulaan RM8 juta untuk Yayasan MOM yang ditubuhkan bertujuan membantu latihan dan kebajikan atlit serta persatuan sukan yang menghadapi masalah kewangan.

Setiausaha Kehormat MOM, Datuk Sieh Kok Chi, berkata dana permulaan itu dikeluarkan daripada simpanan tunai MOM dan berharap syarikat korporat serta penaja dapat membantu menambah dana yayasan itu atas tanggungjawab sosial mereka

Kita dalam usaha mendapatkan persetujuan tiga panel bebas dari luar untuk menjadi ahli jawatankuasa bagi menguruskan yayasan ini, selain tiga ahli lembaga MOM bagi memastikan ia diuruskan dengan baik dan tidak disalahgunakan

Keputusan melantik tiga panel bebas itu bertujuan mengelakkan berlaku pilih kasih dan menangkis tanggapan pihak tertentu dalam MOM saja yang akan memperoleh manfaat daripada yayasan ini,” katanya semalam.

Mesyuarat Majlis MOM yang bersidang 25 Julai lalu meluluskan penubuhan yayasan itu, sekali gus mencontohi yayasan yang sudah wujud di negara maju seperti Amerika Syarikat dan Australia.

Kok Chi berkata, pihaknya sedang berusaha menyelesaikan beberapa perkara sebelum melancarkan secara rasmi yayasan itu sekali gus membolehkan ia beroperasi tidak lama lagi.

Sementara itu, Kok Chi berkata, sejak tahun lalu pihaknya memberi bantuan tahunan RM6,000 kepada 35 ahli gabungan dan RM4,000 kepada 15 ahli bersekutu, membabitkan peruntukan RM270,000 setahun.
“Ini adalah antara usaha kita membantu meringankan beban kewangan ahli gabungan dan bersekutu, terutama dalam perbelanjaan mengurus serta mentadbir persatuan masing-masing,” 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 ...
