‘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...

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...
