KUALA LUMPUR - Persekutuan Badminton Melayu Malaysia (PBMM) perlu membuka lembaran baru dalam usaha meningkatkan prestij penganjuran Kejohanan Badminton Melayu Malaysia 2011 pada masa depan.

Timbalan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Razali Ibrahim berkata, kejohanan tersebut boleh dijadikan platfrom untuk melahirkan lebih ramai pemain badminton Melayu yang berbakat dan mampu memberikan saingan pada peringkat yang lebih tinggi.

"Sebelum mencapai ke peringkat itu, PBMM perlu melakukan perubahan terutamanya dalam soal pengurusan sesebuah kejohanan.

"Selain itu bagaimana untuk kita mencari pasaran yang lebih baik agar kejohanan yang dianjurkan menerima sambutan yang positif daripada pelbagai pihak," katanya.

Beliau melancarkan Kejohanan Badminton Melayu Malaysia 2011 Piala DYMM Sultan-Sultan dan Raja-Raja Yang ke-53 yang bermula 21 hingga 25 September ini di sini, semalam.

Menurut Razali, untuk menjadikan ia lebih kompetitif, PBMM boleh mengambil inisiatif dengan menganjurkan kejohanan siri badminton terbuka yang turut membabitkan penyertaan bangsa lain.


Jelasnya, tidak salah jika PBMM mahu mengundang akademi-akademi badminton luar untuk menyertai kejohanan tersebut yang mungkin boleh dijadikan sebagai medan bagi melahirkan pemain-pemain muda berbakat.

"Tidak kira siapa yang bakal menang kerana apa yang penting kejohanan itu kelak lebih bersifat kompetitif, berkualiti dan mampu menarik pembabitan syarikat-syarikat korporat sebagai penaja," ujarnya.
Beliau memberitahu, penyertaan pasukan dari negara jiran seperti dari Jakarta dan Medan, Indonesia serta Singapura membuktikan kejohanan yang telah memasuki usia 53 tahun itu mampu menarik peserta-peserta dari luar.

"Saya harap PBMM berusaha lebih gigih lagi untuk menarik penyertaan lebih ramai dalam kejohanan ini khususnya pemain peringkat negeri," katanya.

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 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...
