KOM tetap dengan keputusan

Kuala Lumpur: Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) tetap berpegang pada prinsip tidak menyenaraikan Noraseela Khalid dan Lee Hup Wei yang dicadangkan Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) ke temasya Sukan SEA Myanmar hujung tahun ini.

Perkara itu ditegaskan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Pemilihan KOM Datuk Wan Hisham Wan Salleh yang mengulas kenyataan Noraseela, atlet 400m lari berpagar negara yang memutuskan untuk tidak menyertai temasya dwitahunan itu.

Bagaimanapun KOM memaklumkan akan menambah dua nama baru ke Sukan SEA selepas bersetuju menghantar kuartet 4x100m wanita negara yang kini berada dalam kedudukan ranking ketiga terbaik Asia Tenggara.

Mereka adalah pasangan kembar dari Pulau Pinang Zaidatul Husna dan Zaidatul Husniah Zulkifli bergandingan bersama Komalam Sally dan Noor Amira Mohamad Nafiah yang sebelum ini sudah disenaraikan dalam acara 4x100m.

“Kami tetap berpegang pada prinsip sebelum ini berhubung penyenaraian atlet ke Sukan SEA. Saya harap perkara ini tidak dipanjangkan dan Noraseela serta Lee Hup Wei akan fokus untuk Sukan Asia dan Komanwel.

“Mereka mempunyai banyak masa untuk kembali cergas dan saya yakin mereka mampu membuktikan keupayaan menghadapi dua temasya lebih besar itu,” katanya.
Beliau berharap keputusan itu tidak mengeruhkan hubungan antara MSN dan KOM.

Katanya, KOM tidak mempunyai masalah dan sentiasa mengamalkan dasar terbuka dengan menerima pandangan yang diberikan MSN sebelum ini.

“Biarpun perjumpaan membabitkan KOM dan MSN bersama Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar kelmarin dibatalkan, itu tidak bermakna kami mempunyai masalah. “Presiden (Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad) sentiasa berhubung dengan MSN walaupun secara tidak rasmi,” katanya. Wan Hisham berkata, perjumpaan bersama atlet dan jurulatih semalam memberi petanda positif mereka kini sudah bersedia menyahut cabaran dan beliau yakin beberapa kejutan akan berlaku di Myanmar.

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...
