Rashid kembali


 Kuala Lumpur: Rashid Sidek (gambar) kembali menyertai pasukan kebangsaan esok.
Teka-teki mengenai keputusan yang bakal diambil jurulatih kebangsaan Rashid Sidek yang meletak jawatan 10 hari lalu, sama ada kembali ke pangkuan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) atau sebaliknya, kini terjawab.


Rashid mengesahkan beliau akan kembali menyertai barisan kejurulatihan BAM, namun selepas mengikut prosedur yang diminta Presiden, Tan Sri Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff.

“Esok (hari ini) saya akan ke pejabat BAM, menghantar surat yang diminta presiden, menulis saya mahu kembali melatih pemain kebangsaan, tapi saya tidak akan terus bekerja esok (hari ini),” kata Rashid ketika dihubungi.

“Apapun saya akan memulakan kerja minggu ini, paling awal Selasa (esok).”

Sambil mengakui apa yang berlaku sebelum ini perlu segera dilupakan, Rashid berkata, beliau amat menghormati keputusan Tengku Mahaleel yang sedia menerimanya semula.

“Cukup-cukuplah bangkitkan isu ini, semuanya sudah pulih dan reda. Saya sedar saya perlu segera kembali untuk membantu skuad negara dan menjayakan program yang dirancang kepimpinan baru.

“Selagi Datuk Lee Chong Wei belum berjaya menjuarai Kejohanan Dunia dan Sukan Asia, saya akan turut sama membantunya, begitu juga dengan pemain lain,” kata Rashid, menyatakan komitmennya untuk kembali ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan.

Sememangnya tiada sebab untuk Rashid terus membawa diri kerana alasannya meletak jawatan sebelum ini, disebabkan tidak mampu mengikut program yang tidak dipersetujuinya serta berasa tidak boleh bekerja bersama dengan Tan Aik Mong (bekas Pengarah Kumpulan Pengurusan Bakat-TMG).

Malah Tengku Mahaleel sendiri enggan menerima peletakan jawatan beliau, sekali gus membuka seluas-luas peluang untuknya kembali membantu meningkatkan mutu badminton negara.

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...
