Nadzmi Akui Tidak Dapat Formula Lahir Ramai Jaguh Badminton Dunia

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 Julai (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh mengakui sepanjang 13 tahun beliau menerajui Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), beliau tidak bertemu formula terbaik untuk melahirkan lebih ramai jaguh badminton dunia dari kalangan pemain negara.

Bekas presiden BAM itu berkata di bawah kepimpinannya, banyak perkara dilakukannya untuk mencapai matlamt itu, namun hasilnya adalah minimum apabila hanya Datuk Lee Chong Wei dan pasangan beregu Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong yang mampu menempatkan diri mereka dalam kelompok terbaik dunia.

Beliau memberitahu bahawa pencapaian pemain Malaysia semakin membimbangkan dan ia menjadi cabaran buat kepimpinan baharu BAM bagi mencari formula terbaik untuk melahirkan pemain Malaysia yang bertaraf dunia.

"Sebagai Presiden BAC (Konfederasi Badminton Asia), kami ada berbincang bagaimana negara seperti China dan Korea Selatan begitu mendadak pencapaian mereka dalam melahirkan pemain-pemain hebat. Mereka melakukan sesuatu yang mana orang lain tidak tahu.

"Jika kita masih menggunakan taktik sama seperti yang dilakukan Indonesia dan Thailand, kita tetap tidak akan berubah. China telah melakukan pendekatan baharu, kita perlu mendapat mencari formula itu. Kalau kita kekal dengan cara lama, saya tidak yakin Malaysia dapat kekal dengan kejayaan sekarang," tegasnya.

"Masalahnya siapa yang akan beri kaedah baharu itu. Bagi saya ia satu proses. Kita perlu melabur dengan orang yang betul dan pengurusan yang betul, baharu kita boleh mendapat jawapannya," kata Mohd Nadzmi.

Beliau berkata skuad negara memerlukan pakar psikologi khusus yang mempunyai minat serta memahami tentang badminton supaya mereka dapat membantu pemain kebangsaan mempersiapkan mental dan fizikal terutama ketika menghadapi kejohanan.

"China juga tiada formula itu (pakar psikologi khusus), tetapi mereka menggabungkan semua sumber yang ada sehingga mencetuskan satu sistem baharu. Begitu juga Korea Selatan. Saya akui tidak menemui formula seperti dilakukan China dan Korea Selatan dalam meningkatan prestasi atlet mereka," katanya.

Mohd Nadzmi yakin kepimpinan baharu BAM yang diketuai Tan Sri Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff mampu mencari formula itu untuk memastikan Malaysia tidak ketandusan dalam melahirkan pemain bertaraf dunia.

Pada Menyuarat Agung Tahunan (AGM) BAM Sabtu lepas, Tengku Mahaleel yang juga bekas Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Proton Holding Berhad dipilih sebulat suara sebagai presiden baharu BAM.

Menyuarat itu juga menyaksikan semua anggota gabungan badan sukan itu bersetuju mengekalkan Datuk Dr Ir Mohamed Al-Amin Abd Majid sebagai Timbalan Presiden I dan memilih Datuk Mohamad Norza Zakaria sebagai Timbalan Presiden II untuk penggal 2013-2017.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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 ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
