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 ...

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...
