Warga Kota Bertumpu Ke Restoran Mamak Saksi Perlawanan Akhir Piala AFF-Suzuki

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 Dis (Bernama) -- Sebilangan besar daripada warga bandaraya Kuala Lumpur akan bertumpu ke restoran mamak yang banyak terdapat di ibu kota malam ini bagi menonton perlawanan bersejarah peringkat akhir kedua Piala AFF-Suzuki edisi 2010 Malaysia-Indonesia.

Restoran ini menjadi 'port' yang menyediakan skrin besar di perkarangan bagi memudahkan ratusan khalayak menonton perlawanan sambil menghirup teh tarik kegemaran mereka, seterusnya tenggelam dalam suasana riuh rendah penonton yang melahirkan sokongan.

Mohamad Sharuddin, 32, berkata beliau dan rakan-rakanya memilih restoran mamak sekitar wangsa maju di sini.

"Bagi menghidupkan lagi suasana perlawanan saya dan beberapa rakan berpakat memakai jersi kuning-hitam sebagai tanda sokongan kami kepada pasukan kebangsaan," katanya kepada Bernama.

Bapa kepada dua anak itu berkata biarpun beraksi di gelanggang lawan beliau yakin dengan kemampuan skuad 'Harimau Malaya' menumpaskan skuad 'Garuda' 2-1 pada perlawanan itu yang berlangsung di Stadium Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta.

Mohamad Aiman Abdullah, 25, berkata beliau memilih restoran mamak kerana suasana menonton perlawanan di situ hampir sama seperti di stadium apabila dapat bersorak beramai-ramai.

"Sebagai tanda sokongan kepada pasukan negara saya tidak akan lupa membawa Jalur Gemilang bersama.

"Dengan pencapaian semasa saya fikir skuad negara mampu tumpaskan pasukan Indonesia dengan mata 3-2," katanya.

Siti Raihanan, 30, dan rakan-rakan juga memilih untuk menonton perlawanan itu di restoran mamak berhampiran kediaman mereka.

Perlawanan malam ini menjadi penentu sama ada Malaysia berjaya menamatkan kemarau penantian selama 14 tahun bagi menjulang Piala yang mula diperkenalkan pada 1996 itu.

Kejayaan terbaik pasukan Malaysia sebelum ini adalah menjadi naib juara pada edisi 1996 selepas tewas 0-1 kepada Thailand pada perlawanan di Singapura.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
