Post mortem khas cari kelemahan lahir pelapis

KUALA LUMPUR - Masalah ketiadaan pelapis yang mampu menonjol di peringkat antarabangsa bakal terjawab pada post mortem khas oleh Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) tidak lama lagi.

Pengurus Besar BAM, Kenny Goh berkata, post mortem khas itu dilaksanakan, selepas ramai pihak termasuk Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek mempersoalkan kelemahan BAM melahirkan pemain pelapis berbakat seperti China, Jepun dan Korea Selatan.

"Ketika ini kami masih meneliti punca sebenar masalah ini.
''Kita akan mengetahui jawapannya selepas proses ini selesai," katanya pada sidang media Kejohanan Grand Final Sirkit Remaja Kebangsaan 100PLUS, semalam.

Jelasnya, semua pihak masih tertanya-tanya mengapa pemain pelapis kita hanya mampu muncul juara dunia di peringkat remaja, namun tenggelam apabila di peringkat senior.

"Kita perlu menunggu hasil post mortem ini bagi mengetahui apa punca sebenar pemain pelapis gagal menyerlah sebaik sahaja dinaikkan menjadi pemain senior," katanya.

Sementara itu, Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pertandingan, Datuk Ir. Mohamad Al-Amin Abdul Majid berkata, ramai pemain pelapis yang muncul sebagai pemain hebat sekarang ini antaranya ialah Jeremy Gan, Chan Choong Ming, Tan Boon Heong dan Koo Kien Kiat.

"Bagaimanapun sesuatu perlu dilakukan oleh persatuan kerana masalah yang dihadapi sekarang ialah kekurangan pemain perseorangan yang mampu menggantikan Datuk Lee Chong Wei pada masa akan datang," katanya.

Kebimbangan tiada pemain pelapis berwibawa turut menarik perhatian ketua jurulatih perseorangan, Rashid Sidek.

Bekas pemain perseorangan kebangsaan itu berkata, walaupun gagal meraih kejuaraan di Piala Thomas 2010, dia tetap positif bahawa masih ada sinar di hujung jalan.

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...
