Khairy Puji Cadangan FAM Lonjak Ranking Pasukan Bola Sepak Negara

PUTRAJAYA, 23 Julai (Bernama) -- Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin memuji langkah yang diambil Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin untuk menyediakan lebih banyak aksi persahabatan kelas 'A' bagi memperbaiki ranking Harimau Malaya dalam Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA).

Khairy berkata ranking dunia adalah sesuatu yang sangat penting untuk dijadikan penanda aras kepada prestasi pasukan bola sepak negara di persada bola sepak dunia.

"Bukan saya kata kita tidak boleh main dengan pasukan kelab namun jika kita mahu tengok kedudukan dan keupayaan sebenar kita, ranking dunia adalah yang terbaik.

"Saya harap ada kesedaran dan perubahan ke arah menaikkan ranking dunia daripada pihak FAM," katanya kepada pemberita selepas menghadiri forum Integriti Dalam Sukan di sini Selasa.

Baru-baru ini, Hamidin dipetik sebagai berkata bagi menaikkan ranking Harimau Malaya, beliau akan menyusun aksi antarabangsa berkelas A pada 2014 dan akan cuba mendapatkan kerjasama Jawatankuasa Pertandingan Tempatan (JKPT) FAM supaya tiada pertindihan jadual dengan keutamaan diberikan kepada pasukan kebangsaan.

Sebelum ini, pengendali Harimau Malaya Datuk K. Rajagobal dilaporkan sering mengulangi pendirian betapa ranking tidak penting dan ia turut mendapat sokongan pengurus pasukan kebangsaan, Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal serta bekas Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad.

Malaysia kekal pada kedudukan ke-159 dalam ranking bola sepak dunia awal bulan ini.

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 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...
