MySportsFest 2013 Can Boost Asean Sports Industry - Shabery Cheek

PUTRAJAYA, Jan 21 (Bernama) -- The MySportsFest 2013 will be organised in conjunction with the ASEAN Sports Industry Year 2013 from Feb 28 to March 31, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

He said the MySportsFest 2013 will feature 100 activities, including competitions, exhibition, carnival, sports clinic, talent search plus sports activities with celebrities.

The three-day programme will be held at the U8 shopping complex in Bukit Jelutong, Shah Alam.

"Apart from encouraging people of all races to lead a healthy lifestyle, the MySportsFest will provide an opportunity for companies involved in the sports industry to promote their brands as part of their efforts to promote their produces," he said during the pre-launch of MySportsFest 2013 here Monday.

Shabery hoped other ASEAN countries would also emulate such initiatives to promote sports as a major industry in the region and ensure 2013 becomes a sports industry year.

He added that the MySportsFest 2013 secretariat would still give opportunities for agencies or companies to take part in the exhibition and display their products.

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
