KBS Sedia RM122 Juta Untuk SUKMA Perlis 2014 - Khairy

 

KANGAR, 27 Jan (Bernama) -- Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) menyediakan peruntukan sebanyak RM122 juta kepada Perlis untuk menganjurkan temasya Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) ke-17, Mei ini, kata menterinya Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar.

Beliau berkata daripada jumlah itu, sebanyak RM76 juta adalah untuk pembangunan prasarana termasuk menaik taraf kemudahan venue pertandingan dan RM46 juta bagi mengurus temasya sukan tersebut.

Beliau juga berkata setiap kontraktor yang terlibat mengendalikan projek pembinaan atau menaik taraf venue pertandingan diberi tempoh selewat-lewatnya awal April ini untuk menyiapkan kerja masing-masing.

Katanya, hasil pemeriksaan di Kompleks Sukan Negeri di sini, yang menjadikan venue bagi 11 daripada 24 acara sukan, mendapati kerja-kerja menyiapkan kolam renang dan dewan badminton agak membimbangkan.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas meninjau kerja-kerja membina dan menaik taraf venue-venue di kompleks tersebut di sini hari ini.

Sebelum itu, beliau diberi taklimat mengenai tahap persediaan tuan rumah menganjurkan temasya itu oleh Timbalan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (Pengurusan) Sekretariat SUKMA Perlis, Saiful Rizal Mohd Shukri.

Berikutan kekangan masa untuk menyiapkan kerja-kerja menaik taraf kolam renang di kompleks tersebut, Khairy tidak menolak kemungkinan acara akuatik dianjurkan di Kedah.

"Pembinaan dewan badminton tidak begitu rumit untuk disiapkan kerana ia merupakan pembinaan dewan biasa tetapi venue kolam renang mungkin tidak dapat memenuhi sasaran masa untuk disiapkan," katanya.

Katanya, keputusan muktamad mengenai kemampuan Perlis menyiapkan venue itu juga perlu diketahui segera kerana jika terpaksa diadakan di Kedah, kerja-kerja menyempurnakan kolam renang di negeri tersebut juga perlu dilakukan.

SUKMA Perlis 2014 dari 24 Mei hingga 4 Jun ini menawarkan 356 pingat emas dalam 24 acara sukan dipertandingkan.

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...

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 ...
