Safee tidak digantung

KUALA LUMPUR - Tidak sampai 24 jam selepas laporan Safee Sali tidak dibenarkan beraksi pada peringkat antarabangsa ekoran kemelut liga bola sepak Indonesia, semalam pengurus pemain itu, Zakaria Rahim tampil menafikan berita tersebut.

Zakaria menjelaskan, tidak wujud sama sekali isu Safee digantung kerana Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) tidak pernah mengenakan denda ke atas pegawai dan pemain dari 32 pasukan yang beraksi dalam Liga Super Indonesia (ISL) seperti yang didakwa.

Menurutnya, pengesahan itu dibuat oleh Setiausaha Agung Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC), Datuk Alex Soosay ketika dia menemui pegawai AFC itu semalam.

Malah, katanya AFC mengesahkan Safee tiada masalah untuk menyarung jersi kebangsaan.

"Saya menemui Alex di Rumah AFC dan pihaknya tidak tahu menahu mengenai surat yang dihantar oleh PSSI kepada FAM. Malah belum ada sebarang makluman daripada FIFA bahawa PSSI sedang digantung.

"FIFA juga tidak pernah memberikan arahan menggantung 32 kelab di Indonesia yang didakwa PSSI," katanya ketika dihubungi, semalam.

Selepas menemui AFC, Zakaria juga mendapatkan Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad bagi memberi penjelasan sebenar perkara tersebut.

"Saya hormati pandangan Azzuddin kerana beliau membuat kenyataan kelmarin disebabkan tidak mahu mengambil risiko menggunakan khidmat Safee.

"Beliau tidak mahu pemain kita terperangkap dengan mainan pihak lain.

"Safee sudah mendapat lampu hijau untuk berlatih petang ini (semalam) dan boleh beraksi bagi perlawanan persahabatan dengan Hong Kong tidak lama lagi, " katanya.

Dalam dalam laporan kelmarin, FAM menyatakan PSSI melalui Setiausahanya, Halim Mahfudz telah menghantar surat bahawa pemain dan pegawai dalam kalangan 32 pasukan yang digantung tidak dibenarkan bermain di peringkat antarabangsa.

Masalah Safee hanya boleh diselesaikan apabila mesyuarat kongres PSSI pada Disember ini bagi mendapat kata sepakat dengan Komiti Sepakbola Seluruh Indonesia (KPSI).

PSSI dan KPSI, dua badan bola sepak Indonesia yang bertelagah pernah menandatangani perjanjian persefahaman (Mou) di Rumah AFC 20 September lepas bagi menyelesaikan kemelut yang berlarutan sejak tahun lalu.

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 ...
