Naim tidak berminat bertanding naib presiden

KUALA LUMPUR - Ura-ura mengenai Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Datuk Naim Mohamad akan bertanding jawatan Naib Presiden Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) terjawab apabila beliau menyangkal khabar angin tersebut.

Naim yang akan menjadi chef-de-mission Malaysia ke Sukan SEA Jakarta, November ini menolak ura-ura mengenai beliau akan bertanding dalam pemilihan MOM tatkala tempoh untuk menghantar senarai nama pencalonan masih dibuka dan akan berakhir Selasa depan.

"Tidak ada pencalonan dan jika ada sekali pun saya tidak berminat untuk bertanding. Sebelum ini Setiausaha Kehormat MOM, Datuk Sieh Kok Chi ada menawarkan kepada saya berikutan kekosongan yang ditinggalkan Datuk A. Sani Karim, tetapi menolak pelawaan tersebut," katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia, semalam.

Sani menawarkan diri untuk bertanding jawatan Timbalan Presiden MOM selepas penyandangnya, Tan Sri Dr. M. Jegathesan mengesahkan tidak akan mempertahankan jawatan.

Jelas Naim, walaupun ditawarkan oleh Kok Chi untuk bertanding jawatan tersebut dan dikatakan antara calon yang layak, beliau menolak dengan baik dengan memberi alasan untuk menumpukan sepenuh perhatian kepada sukan berbasikal yang disenaraikan dalam Program Road To London 2012.

"Tambahan pula saya perlu memberi tumpuan yang lebih menjelang November ini kerana menjadi CDM untuk kontinjen negara di Sukan SEA Jakarta, memang dalam tempoh dua bulan ini saya tidak sibuk tetapi menjelang September saya harus beri komitmen yang lebih.

"Jika ada orang yang mencalonkan saya bagi jawatan tersebut, saya akan menolaknya dengan baik, mungkin sekarang masih kurang sesuai buat saya memberi komitmen jika dipilih menjadi Naib Presiden MOM," katanya.

Selepas pencalonan ditutup pada 7 Jun ini, senarai calon yang bertanding bagi penggal 2011-2013 akan disediakan untuk membolehkan 105 wakil daripada 35 ahli gabungan mengundi pada mesyuarat agung 18 Jun.

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 ...
