'Mengapa Misbun tidak respons, itu saya tidak pasti'

KUALA LUMPUR - "Kalau saya jadi Misbun, saya akan pulang ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan dan membimbing (Datuk) Lee Chong Wei sampai Sukan Olimpik 2012,''. Itu kata ketua jurulatih perseorangan negara, Rashid Sidek ketika ditanya mengenai abangnya, Datuk Misbun Sidek.

Rashid mengakui langsung tidak mempunyai petunjuk apakah Misbun sedia menyambung kerjasama dengan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) selepas meletak jawatan pada 31 Disember lalu.
"Pada saya sekarang semua terpulang kepada BAM untuk buat keputusan. Selepas tiga bulan memberi tempoh dan Misbun terus menyepi, sebaiknya BAM sendiri yang memutuskan apa tindakan mereka.
"Mengapa Misbun masih tidak respons? itu saya tidak pasti, mungkin... beliau masih menunggu balasan surat yang pernah diberi kepada Presiden (Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd. Salleh) tetapi ia cuma teori saya, tidak pasti betul atau tidak.

"Saya tidak berani komen panjang kerana saya tidak tahu apa yang difikirkan Misbun, beliau tidak pernah menjelaskan kepada saya apa yang diinginkan untuk kembali ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan," katanya ketika ditemui di Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara semalam.

Rashid mengakui, andai Misbun kembali ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan, keadaan mungkin sudah sedikit berbeza dengan persekitaran yang tidak lagi selesa berbanding dulu selepas semua yang berlaku dalam tempoh tiga bulan ini.

Namun, tegasnya, itu bukan masalah besar yang menghalang jurulatih itu daripada pulang, jika beliau benar-benar mahu kembali.

"Persekitaran mungkin tidak berapa selesa selepas ini, tetapi Misbun boleh meneruskan kerjanya seperti biasa. Saya fikir beliau tidak akan terganggu.
"Bagaimanapun kalau beliau benar-benar mahu balik ke BAM dan bersama Chong Wei, sudah tentu beliau akan respons, kalau bukan sekarang dalam tempoh terdekat, kita lihat saja,'' ujar Rashid lagi.
Ditanya apakah ketiadaan Misbun menjejaskan latihan skuad perseorangan kebangsaan, terutama Chong Wei, Rashid menegaskan, ia sama sekali tidak berlaku.

Jelasnya, mungkin di peringkat awal ketika Misbun mengumumkan tidak mahu memperbaharui kontrak, ia mengejutkan Chong Wei namun selepas tiga bulan, mereka mengharunginya dengan baik.
"Merangkul tiga kejuaraan daripada empat kejohanan dan satu lagi masuk final, ia keputusan yang sangat baik. Saya tidak nampak persiapan Chong Wei untuk Sukan Olimpik terjejas, dia pemain yang profesional dan sudah matang.

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 ...
