Khairy Ada 'Kuasa' Campuri Urusan Persatuan Sukan Kebangsaan - Zolkples

KUALA LUMPUR, 23 Jan (Bernama) -- Sikap keterbukaan Khairy Jamaluddin yang sedia berjumpa dengan setiap penggiat sukan tempatan memperlihatkan betapa menteri belia dan sukan itu serius untuk melihat kemajuan sukan tanah air.

Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong berkata pertemuan Khairy dengan mana-mana badan sukan atau tindakan mencampuri urusan badan induk sukan tempatan tidak wajar dijadikan isu.

Ini kerana katanya seseorang menteri mempunyai kuasa berbuat demikian seperti mana termaktub dalam Akta Pembangunan Sukan bagi memastikan pembangunan sukan negara berada di landasan yang betul.

"Beliau prihatin dengan segala masalah yang dihadapi (persatuan sukan) dan sebagai menteri, beliau mempunyai kuasa memastikan segala program dan aktiviti berkaitan pembangunan sukan negara.

"Sekiranya terdapat sebarang masalah harus ditangani dengan sebaiknya supaya segala yang dirancang dapat dilaksanakan dan tidak mendatangkan masalah," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis perarakan sambutan Maulidur Rasul di sekitar Kompleks Sukan Negara, Bukit Jalil di sini Khamis.

Zolkples ditanya mengenai perjumpaan tertutup Khairy dengan pelumba basikal profesional kebangsaan baru-baru ini, bagi meluahkan pandangan serta cadangan untuk meningkatkan kualiti program acara lebuh raya negara.

Sebelum itu, Khairy dipetik sebagai berkata bahawa beliau akan mengadakan pertemuan dengan kepimpinan Persatuan Sepak Takraw Malaysia (PSM) bagi membincangkan hala tuju sukan sepak takraw negara selepas aksi longlai pada Sukan SEA di Myanmar, Disember lepas.

Mengulas lanjut, Zolkples, bagaimanapun berkata seboleh-bolehnya, setiap persatuan sukan wajar menyelesaikan sendiri masalah dalaman masing-masing.

"Tetapi kalau sudah sampai ke satu tahap tiada penyelesaian, jadi tidak ada masalah (bertemu dengan menteri)," katanya.

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...
