Pahang sedia jadi tuan rumah

KUANTAN - Pahang bersiap sedia untuk menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) ke-14 yang dijadual berlangsung pada 2012.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia dan Sukan negeri, Datuk Wan Adnan Wan Mamat berkata, segala persiapan telah diatur sebaik sahaja Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) membuat keputusan tersebut pada awal April lalu.
"Kami sudah bersedia. Kepercayaan kali kedua yang diberikan kerajaan melalui Kementerian Belia dan Sukan akan dilaksanakan sebaik mungkin," katanya ketika dihubungi di sini, semalam.

Kelmarin, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menutup Sukma XIII di Melaka dan menyerahkan bendera Sukma kepada Menteri Besar Pahang, Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob sebagai tanda Pahang bakal menjadi tuan rumah temasya sukan dwi tahunan itu.

Pemilihan itu merupakan kali kedua selepas Pahang menganjurkannya kali pertama pada 1996.
Menurut Wan Adnan, bagi tujuan itu kerajaan negeri memperuntukkan sebanyak kira-kira RM300 juta sebagai perbelanjaan persiapan untuk membina dan menaik taraf stadium serta kemudahan sukan.
"Sebuah stadium tertutup akan dibina di Tanjung Lumpur di di sini, stadium hoki yang baru di sebelah Stadim Hoki Wisma Belia, Indera Mahkota dan lapang sasar menembak serta gelanggang silat di Temerloh," katanya.

Beliau memberitahu, beberapa kemudahan sedia ada seperti kolam renang, stadium tertutup, Stadium Darul Makmur dan balapan olahraga akan dinaik taraf untuk persediaan temasya itu.

"Kita akan menggunakan bajet yang disediakan bagi membaiki, membina dan menaik taraf fasiliti sukan di Pahang sebagai persiapan penganjuran Sukma ke-14 itu," katanya.

Bagaimanapun, tambahnya, pihaknya belum menetapkan jumlah acara yang bakal dipertandingkan namun menganggarkan ia bersamaan dengan Melaka iaitu kira-kira 33 acara padang dan balapan pada Sukma 2012 itu.

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 ...
