‘Biar main stadium kosong’

Johor Bahru: Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) mencadangkan agar perlawanan separuh akhir kedua Piala FA membabitkan Johor Darul Takzim dan Pahang di Stadium Bukit Jalil, Sabtu ini dilangsungkan di stadium yang kosong bagi mengelak insiden kekecohan di Stadium Darul Makmur, Selasa lalu, berulang.

Presiden PBNJ, Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim bertitah lebih elok jika tiada penyokong menyaksikan perlawanan itu bagi menjamin keselamatan kedua-dua penyokong sama ada di pihak Johor DT mahupun Pahang memandangkan kekecohan yang berlaku di Kuantan, baru-baru masih belum reda.

“Saya tidak bantah beraksi di padang berkecuali tapi apa yang saya harapkan biarlah aksi Johor DT-Pahang dilangsungkan tanpa kehadiran penyokong kerana keadaan masih panas selepas insiden di Stadium Darul Makmur, Selasa lalu. “Keselamatan penyokong menjadi kepentingan buat saya tidak kira sama ada penyokong itu dari Johor DT atau Pahang. Mungkin tiada insiden berlaku ketika mereka berada di dalam stadium tetapi bagaimana keselamatan mereka selepas perlawanan. Apakah jaminan pihak polis atau Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) di luar stadium.

“Saya tidak cabar mana-mana pihak tapi pandangan ini datang dari rasa keprihatinan saya terhadap keselamatan penyokong. Kita tidak mahu apa yang terjadi di Stadium Darul Makmur berulang malah bola sepak lebih kepada menyatukan rakyat dan bukannya memecah belah antara satu sama lain,” katanya pada sidang media di Istana Bukit Pelangi, di sini, semalam.

Tunku Ismail juga menegaskan perlawanan membabitkan Johor DT-Pahang yang akan diadakan di sebelah petang tidak menimbulkan sebarang masalah namun berharap pihak FAM menerima cadangan supaya tiada penyokong hadir menyaksikan perlawanan itu.

Katanya, PBNJ akan menghantar surat rasmi kepada FAM bagi mencadangkan perlawanan itu diadakan tanpa kehadiran kedua-dua penyokong bagi memastikan kelancaran perlawanan itu tanpa diganggu gugat segelintir penyokong yang boleh mencemarkan bola sepak negara.

“Apa yang saya ingin tekankan biarlah perlawanan itu nanti diadakan tanpa gangguan kerana saya sedih melihat penyokong Johor DT terpaksa berada di stadium sehingga lewat jam 2 pagi kerana tidak dapat keluar dari Stadium Darul Makmur dan saya bertindak untuk mengarahkan pihak polis mengawal keadaan sehingga semua penyokong Johor DT pulang dengan selamat,” kata Tunku Ismail.

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 ...
