NGO desak rombak ‘kabinet’ BAM

Kami mahu badminton kembali seperti zaman kegemilangannya dahulu’

KEKALAHAN skuad badminton negara pada saingan Piala Thomas, dua minggu lalu semakin mencetus rasa tidak puas hati peminat dan pertubuhan badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang mula mendesak supaya barisan kepimpinan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) berundur.

Semalam, bertempat di ibu pejabat BAM di Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara, hampir 200 ahli pertubuhan Gabungan NGO Malaysia berhimpun sambil membawa sepanduk menuntut pengurusan tertinggi BAM meletakkan jawatan secara terhormat dan memberi laluan kepada pentadbiran termasuk jawatan utama, Presiden BAM (Datuk Nadzmi Salleh)

Kami tidak mewakili mana-mana pihak atau individu tertentu dan kami juga tidak ditaja oleh sesiapa,” kata Setiausaha Pusat Dua Gabungan NGO Malaysia, Mohd Arafat Muhammad selepas menyerahkan memorandum kepada Pengurus Besar BAM, Kenny Goh



Kami adalah ahli pertubuhan NGO yang prihatin dengan masalah badminton. Kami mahu badminton kembali seperti zaman kegemilangannya dahulu. Sekarang kita lihat tidak ada pemain pelapis berbakat dan kami meminta supaya pengurusan BAM berundur.”

Memorandum yang diserahkan kepada BAM mendesak persatuan induk badminton negara supaya bertanggung jawab sepenuhnya tanpa menyalahkan mana-mana pihak terutamanya pihak media di atas kegagalan skuad Piala Thomas. Tindakan menyalahkan media dan pihak lain tidak dapat diterima pakai sama sekali ‘ibarat membaling batu sorok tangan.’

Memorandum itu juga menuntut BAM mencari inisiatif baru bagi melahirkan lebih ramai pemain pelapis yang berpotensi untuk diketengahkan dan kaji selidik kegagalan skuad badminton haruslah dari pelbagai sudut.

“Demi sukan badminton Malaysia, Gabungan NGO Malaysia mendesak perubahan di dalam kepimpinan tertinggi BAM terutama presiden harus dilakukan segera, dan tiada lagi perebutan jawatan dan pergeseran dalam persatuan,” kata Mohd Arafat.

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 ...
