Keselamatan Sukan Komanwel New Delhi Terjamin

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 Julai (Bernama) -- Atlet negara ke Sukan Komanwel Oktober depan tidak perlu bimbang soal keselamatan kerana pihak berkuasa di New Delhi memberi jaminan keselamatan semasa temasya sukan itu, kata ketua kontinjen negara Tan Sri Abdul Halil Abdul Mutalib.

Katanya atlet tidak seharusnya membiarkan perkara itu mengganggu tumpuan mereka kepada latihan, sebaliknya menyerahkan soal keselamatan kepada pengurusan kontinjen untuk memantaunya.

Menurutnya jika soal keselamatan menjadi serius, kerajaan melalui Wisma Putra pasti memberi nasihat.

"Sehingga kini, kami belum lagi menerima sebarang nasihat atau amaran dari New Delhi, hos bagi Sukan Komanwel ke-19 yang akan berlangsung dari 3 hingga 14 Okt.

"Tetapi kita sentiasa memantau tahap keselamatan di sana terutama nasihat dari pihak kedutaan Malaysia di sana. Sehingga kini, kita difahamkan segalanya lancar," katanya kepada pemberita di sini pada Khamis.

Isu keselamatan semasa temasya tersebut timbul berikutan banyak ancaman pihak tertentu untuk mengagalkan penganjurannya tetapi Jawatankuasa Penganjur Sukan Komanwel 2010 New Delhi (OCCWG) sering memberi jaminan mengenai tahap keselamatan di negara tersebut.

Terbaru, ialah ancaman daripada Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), satu kumpulan puak pemisah Sikh, yang didakwa mungkin menimbulkan kekacauan di New Delhi semasa Sukan Komanwel.

Abdul Halil berkata dua pegawai Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) kini berada di New Delhi untuk mengikuti seminar keselamatan sempena temasya itu dan untuk mendapat maklumat terkini berkenaan isu tersebut.

"Biarkan pihak berkuasa menentukan tahap keselamatan di negara tersebut. Yang penting atlet jangan terpengaruh dengan segala khabar tersebut sehingga mampu menjejaskan latihan," katanya.

Mengulas mengenai isu KLF, Pengerusi OCCWG, Suresh Kalmadi said: "Semuanya baik di New Delhi."

"Keselamatan merupakan komponen penting dalam kejayaan kejohanan. Kementerian Dalam Negeri India dan Polis Delhi akan memastikan kejohanan berlangsung dalam suasana selamat bukan sahaja di semua venue kejohanan dan bukan venu tetapi juga di seluruh bandar raya Delhi," katanya dalam laman web rasmi Sukan Komanwel.

Malaysia dijangka menghantar 190 atlet untuk menyertai 14 daripada 17 acara yang dipertandingkan.

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 ...
