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.

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 ...

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...
