‘FAM perlu pembaharuan’


Kuala Lumpur: Sudah tiba masanya untuk seorang presiden baru mengemudi tampuk pemerintahan FAM apabila jawatan itu dipertandingkan pada kongres badan induk itu pada 25 Mei depan.
Bukan bermaksud menidakkan sumbangan presiden ketika ini iaitu Sultan Ahmad Shah, namun bekas Timbalan Presiden FAM Tan Sri Annuar Musa (gambar) berkata, situasi semasa sememangnya memerlukan satu pembaharuan dalam kepimpinan bola sepak di negara ini.

Annuar berkata, sekiranya semua pihak mahukan perubahan, maka beliau mencabar calon-calon yang berkelayakan serta berkaliber supaya tampil ke depan dan tidak hanya terus menerus menyalahkan presiden sedia ada kerana baginda berada di tampuk kepimpinan kini juga adalah kerana mendapat sokongan daripada ahli gabungan FAM.

“Sebenarnya daripada segi statut FAM, memang daripada dulu pun jawatan ini (presiden) dipertandingkan, masalahnya ramai yang takut nak tawarkan diri.

“Saya fikir untuk kali ini, harap ada keberanian daripada pihak badan gabungan, tak memadai dengan hanya mengeluh sepanjang masa.

“Kalau ada yang berkemampuan, mereka harus dicalonkan. Bola sepak Malaysia kini perlukan satu lonjakan yang besar.

“Masanya sudah sampai, bercakap pun sudah lama dan macam-macam yang sudah kita lalui. Tapi kalau sampai pemilihan kita balik kepada cara lama, maka tidak akan ada apa-apa perubahan,” katanya ketika ditemui pada majlis jersi AFC untuk pasukan Kelantan, semalam.

Annuar yang juga Penasihat Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA), menghormati sumbangan besar yang sudah dicurahkan oleh Sultan Ahmad Shah, tetapi beliau juga percaya Presiden FAM itu sudah bersedia untuk membuka laluan kepada calon-calon baru.
Ditanya siapakah calon yang beliau rasakan layak untuk mengambil alih jawatan itu, Annuar secara terbuka menyebut beberapa, antaranya termasuklah Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.

“Saya rasa jawatan ini harus dipegang oleh salah satu presiden badan gabungan. Presiden PBNJ boleh, Presiden Sabah (Persatuan Bola Sepak Sabah), Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Sembilan (PBNS) dan Presiden Kuala Lumpur (Persatuan Bola Sepak Kuala Lumpur),” katanya.

Annuar tidak layak untuk bertanding pada Kongres FAM untuk penggal 2014-2018 kerana masih menjalani hukuman penggantungan dua tahun enam bulan sejak April 2012 kerana mengkritik skuad negara bimbingan Datuk K Rajagobal ketika itu.

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...
