‘Jangan usik Kim Swee’

RAJAGOBAL (berdiri di kanan) masih mendapat kepercayaan daripada FAM untuk membimbing Harimau Malaya.

PERSATUAN Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) tidak akan berganjak dengan pendirian untuk terus mengekalkan khidmat Datuk K. Rajagobal sebagai ketua jurulatih skuad Harimau Malaya.

Biarpun pengendali berusia 56 tahun itu gagal membantu Malaysia mempertahankan kejuaraan Piala Suzuki AFF 2012, FAM memberi jaminan bahawa ‘kerusi panas’ itu masih menjadi milik Rajagobal.
Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad menegaskan bahawa cadangan untuk melantik jurulatih Harimau Muda A, Ong Kim Swee untuk menggantikan tempat Rajagobal tidak wujud buat masa sekarang.

Menurut Azzuddin, FAM tidak akan menghukum Rajagobal hanya disebabkan gagal pada kempen Piala Suzuki AFF 2012, sebaliknya badan induk sukan bola sepak negara itu masih memerlukan khidmatnya.
Jelasnya, FAM juga tidak mahu pihak-pihak tertentu memberikan tekanan kepada Kim Swee dan beliau yakin jurulatih kelahiran Melaka itu akan terus melahirkan pemain-pemain muda berpotensi untuk diserapkan dalam skuad negara.

“Seperti yang saya katakan sebelum ini, kami tidak mahu menyingkirkan Rajagobal hanya disebabkan satu kegagalan.

“Apakah mereka sudah lupa jasa-jasa Rajagobal yang berjaya menamatkan penantian 20 tahun pingat emas Sukan SEA Laos 2009 dan muncul sebagai juara buat kali pertama Piala Suzuki AFF 2010.
“Kita sepatutnya menerima hakikat bahawa kita tewas kepada pasukan yang lebih baik. Saya yakin Rajagobal telah melakukan yang terbaik untuk skuad negara.

“Kim Swee merupakan seorang jurulatih yang cukup berwibawa. Buktinya, banyak bakat baharu dapat dicungkil, jadi FAM tidak akan sesekali mengganggu tugas Kim Swee.

“Mereka (pengkritik) boleh bercakap tetapi kita jangan mudah lupa jasa-jasa orang (Rajagobal),” katanya ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.

Mengulas lanjut, Azzuddin menggesa semua pihak agar tidak terus menimbulkan spekulasi terhadap kedua-dua jurulatih berkenaan.

“Hentikan spekulasi seperti ini. Mereka (Kim Swee dan Rajagobal) bekerja di bawah satu bumbung dan sepatutnya kita harus menghormati mereka, bukannya memecahkan keharmonian antara mereka.”

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...
