'Jangan hanya harap bantuan pihak kerajaan'

PERSATUAN dan kelab sukan di negara ini diminta mencari sumber kewangan sendiri dan tidak hanya mengharapkan bantuan kerajaan bagi menjalankan aktiviti masing-masing.

Menurut Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, banyak persatuan dan kelab sukan tempatan didapati masih bergantung kepada peruntukan daripada pihak kerajaan.

"Pengurus sesebuah kelab dan persatuan yang perlu mengambil inisiatif untuk mencari sumber kewangan untuk kelab mereka.

"Sehubungan itu, mereka boleh mengadakan promosi produk kelab sendiri dengan menjual barangan, antaranya jersi, topi, beg dan lain-lain lagi untuk menjana pendapatan bagi memajukan kelab masing-masing," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar selepas majlis perasmian Kejohanan Taekwondo Peringkat Kebangsaan anjuran Malaysia Global Taekwondo Federation di Stadium Chin Woo di Kuala Lumpur semalam.

Pada masa yang sama, Ahmad Shabery juga meminta masyarakat tempatan bergiat aktif dalam acara sukan dan menjadikan aktiviti tersebut sebagai tabiat dalam kehidupan seharian mereka.

Dalam majlis berasingan, Ahmad Shabery berkata, Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) mencadangkan institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPT) awam dan swasta mewujudkan kursus kewartawanan dan fotografi sukan sebagai salah satu pengkhususan dalam jurusan pengajian media.

Menurutnya, cadangan itu bertujuan menghasilkan wartawan tempatan yang mempunyai kemahiran khusus untuk membuat laporan sukan, sekaligus meningkatkan impak yang diberikan media terhadap bidang tersebut.
"Kita mempunyai banyak IPT menawarkan kursus kewartawanan, penyiaran dan fotografi, tetapi tidak ada kursus kewartawanan sukan dan perkara ini perlu diperhatikan semua pihak sebagai satu perkara baharu.
"Kita mahu wartawan sukan yang bukan setakat tahu buat komen (secara umum), tetapi tahu dari semua aspek termasuk teknikal dan sejarahnya," 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 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...
