Tak hirau Artikel 88, perkasakan Harimau

Kelana Jaya: Ketua jurulatih negara Datuk K Rajagobal tetap fokus memperkasakan skuad kebangsaan walaupun bakal berdepan tuduhan melanggar Artikel 88.
Menurut pengendali berusia 56 tahun itu, tiada apa yang hendak diperkatakan dan fokusnya kini hanya untuk skuad negara yang mempunyai jadual padat sepanjang tahun ini.

“Saya belum terima surat, tiada apa untuk komen. Hanya laporan di media, itu saja,” katanya di Wisma FAM, petang semalam.

Jawatankuasa Tatatertib FAM kelmarin memutuskan untuk menghantar surat pertuduhan terhadap Rajagobal susulan kenyataannya mengenai kekurangan penyerang berkualiti di jentera serangan skuad kebangsaan menyebabkan kekalahan 1-4 kepada Arab Saudi.

Pengendali yang pernah memenangi pingat emas Sukan SEA dan Piala AFF itu turut menyentuh kedudukan penyerang beberapa pasukan tempatan seperti Angkatan Tentera Malaysia, Selangor dan Kelantan dengan ketiga-tiganya diketuai penyerang import iaitu Marlon Alex James, Francis Forkey Doe dan Keita Mandjou. Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Tatatertib FAM Datuk Taufek Abd Razak selepas membuat penelitian terhadap kenyataan terbabit berkata, terdapat merit untuk membuat pertuduhan terhadap Rajagobal yang bakal dihantar minggu depan.

Menurutnya, Rajagobal seperti yang dikatakannya sebelum ini, fokusnya hanya terhadap skuad kebangsaan.

Skuad kendalian Rajagobal kini bersaing dalam aksi kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 dengan tiga perlawanan berlangsung pada hujung tahun ini dan baki satu pertemuan pada tahun depan.

Namun Harimau Malaya yang berada di ranking ke-164 dunia dijangka mengharungi aksi persahabatan antarabangsa yang padat pada Jun dan Julai terutamanya dengan kehadiran kelab terbaik dunia seperti Chelsea dan Barcelona selain Belanda yang turut dilapor berminat singgah di Kuala Lumpur.
Rajagobal yang mula melatih skuad negara pada 2009 mempunyai kontrak hingga hujung tahun ini selepas dilantik menggantikan B Sathianathan.

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...

"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...
