Habuan tambahan emas Olimpik

TM tawar imbuhan RM100,000 sebagai pembakar semangat atlit

ATLIT negara yang meraih pingat emas di Sukan Olimpik London 2012 bakal menerima tambahan RM100,000 daripada RM1 juta ditawarkan di bawah Skim Hadiah Kemenangan Sukan (Shakam) susulan persetujuan Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) memberi imbuhan berkenaan.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, ketika mengumumkan perkara itu berkata kesudian TM menawarkan imbuhan tambahan kepada pemenang emas Olimpik London itu boleh menjadi pembakar semangat untuk atlit negara merangkul emas pertama.

“Ini juga satu lagi kejayaan usaha membabitkan pihak swasta dalam membantu kerajaan memaju dan membangunkan sukan negara,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas menyaksikan majlis menandatangani perjanjian persefahaman (MoU) antara TM, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) serta melancarkan “Team Malaysia” di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

MoU itu dimeterai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan TM, Datuk Seri Zamzairani Mohd Isa bagi pihak TM, manakala MSN dan MOM masing-masing diwakili Ketua Pengarah MSN, Datuk Zolkples Embong dan Presiden MOM, Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Jaafar.

MoU itu bagi memulakan kempen sukan TM yang dinamakan Team Malaysia yang bertujuan menghimpunkan sokongan peminat sukan di Malaysia kepada atlit negara tanpa mengira bangsa, agama, jantina dan umur. Menerusi MoU itu juga, TM diberi hak ekslusif ke atas jersi Panthera MSN dan juga Lingkaran Olimpik yang terkenal untuk digunakan sepanjang kempen Team Malaysia termasuk dalam aktiviti pemasaran dan promosi, cenderamata serta hak perniagaan untuk menghasilkan dan mengedarkan barangan yang mempunyai logo MSN dan MOM.

“Sebelum ini sudah ada diperkenal jersi untuk menyokong sukan negara tetapi sambutannya kurang menggalakkan dan sekarang kita mahu jadikan jersi Panthera Team Malaysia ini sebagai fesyen baru menyatakan sokongan terhadap pasukan negara yang bertanding dalam apa juga kejohanan sukan,” kata Ahmad Shabery.

Jesi Panthera Team Malaysia terdapat dalam saiz dewasa dan kanak-kanak dan boleh didapati di premis TMpoint terpilih serta di acara dan siri jelajah TM pada harga RM79.90 sehelai dan harga online istimewa iaitu RM69.90 bagi pembelian menerusi laman web korporat TM iaitu www.tm.net.my, TM Rewards (www,tmrewards.com.my) dan Everyone Connects (www.everyoneconnects.net) mulai hari ini.

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 ...

Sports press clippings on the 24 April 2008

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...
