Liga Malaysia lebih lumayan


ANNUAR (kanan) merasmikan logo baru Liga Malaysia sambil diperhatikan oleh Stuart di Wisma FAM, Kelana Jaya semalam.


PELANCARAN logo baru Liga Malaysia (Liga M) berserta logo baru Liga Super dan Liga Premier semalam menandakan titik perubahan untuk melonjakkan prestij saingan liga bola sepak kebangsaan itu.
Tajaan Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) selama tujuh tahun sejak 2004 berakhir secara rasmi semalam sekali gus menyaksikan penaja baru, Astro bakal mencorakkan Liga M dengan tajaan RM120 juta untuk tempoh 2011-2014.

Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Tan Sri Annuar Musa yang juga Pengerusi Malaysia Super League Sdn. Bhd. (MSL) ketika melancarkan logo baru itu turut membayangkan sesuatu yang mampu menjana kewangan setiap pasukan bertanding.

"Bermula musim ini, semua pasukan yang perlawanan membabitkan mereka disiarkan secara langsung akan diberikan sejumlah wang. Sebelum ini mereka tidak diberi apa-apa.
"Selain itu, geran tahunan setiap pasukan pula saya boleh beri jaminan akan melebihi jumlah yang mereka perolehi musim-musim sebelum ini (pasukan Liga Super RM250,000 dan pasukan Liga Perdana RM150,000).


"Bagi meningkatkan persaingan dalam Liga Super pula, jika sebelum ini hanya tiga pasukan teratas yang mendapat hadiah wang tunai, musim ini kesemua 14 pasukan akan terima hadiah wang tunai mengikut kedudukan dalam liga.

"Tapi semua jumlah ini saya tak boleh umumkan lagi kerana ia perlu mendapat kelulusan Jawatankuasa Kewangan yang dipengerusikan Sultan Ahmad Shah," kata Annuar pada sidang akhbar di Wisma FAM, Kelana Jaya semalam.

Pada majlis itu, Annuar turut memperkenalkan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) MSL yang baru, Stuart Michael Ramalingam menggantikan Kuhan Foo.

Beliau merupakan Konsultan Profesional Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) sejak tahun 2008 dan berpengalaman luas dalam melaksanakan penstrukturan semula dan pengkomersialan struktur bola sepak ahli-ahli badan induk itu.

KUALA LUMPUR, April 29 (Bernama) -- Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek remains confident that the national Uber Cup squad can spring a surprise when Malaysia hosts the Thomas and Uber Cup finals at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil from May 9-16. He said despite not being the favourite, the women's team was able to surprise everyone by winning the gold medal at the Laos SEA Games. "I am confident they (Uber Cup team) will be able to produce a similar surprise. Not only are they capable of reaching the semi-final, they can go further," he told reporters after having lunch with national shuttlers here Thursday. National badminton Team manager Datuk Syed Abu Bakar Abdullah who echoed the minister's confidence said: "In Laos, nobody expected the women's team to win the world, so why not the Uber Cup? All they need to do is try their very best." Women's team captain Wong Pei Tty said she and her team-mates have set a target of r...

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 ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
