Singapura tak cukup bajet


Singapura: Penganjur Sukan SEA, Singapura membuat keputusan menyenaraikan floorball dan petanque pada temasya 2015 selain menggugurkan karate, angkat berat dan gusti gara-gara kekurangan bajet.

Temasya sukan dwitahunan edisi ke-28 itu yang membabitkan penyertaan 11 negara rantau ini bakal mempertandingkan 36 sukan dan 402 acara dengan pihak penganjur bimbang peruntukan kewangan selepas Vietnam menarik diri daripada menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Asia 2019 kerana soal belanja.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Eksekutif Sukan SEA Dr Tan Eng Liang berkata, tinju, equestrian, mendayung dan bola tampar antara yang turut disenaraikan dalam senarai asal 30 sukan yang diluluskan pada Sukan SEA Myanmar, Disember lalu.

Pemilihan sukan untuk temasya itu selari dengan kehendak tuan rumah menganjurkan sukan tempatan seperti petanque - sejenis sukan popular di Vietnam, Kemboja dan Laos.

Floorball pula sukan hoki dalam dewan yang popular di Eropah, tapi kini semakin menular di sekolah Singapura.

Myanmar memilih untuk memasukkan sukan bina badan, chinlone - campuran sukan bola sepak dan tarian serta seni mempertahankan diri Vietnam, Vovinam apabila menjadi tuan rumah. Bagaimanapun tiga daripada sembilan sukan itu digugurkan Singapura.

Penganjur sudah meluluskan tenpin bowling, bola lisut, skuasy dan luncur air bagi Sukan SEA 2015 dan menganggap pemilihan sukan itu bakal membantu kutipan pingat serta fokus ke Sukan Olimpik Brazil 2016.

“Kami tidak boleh menduduki tangga terakhir, tiada negara mahukan kedudukan itu,” kata Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Sukan dan Peraturan Persekutuan Sukan SEA Chris Chan.
“Daripada 36 sukan, 34 dipertandingkan di Sukan Asia, 24 di Sukan Olimpik dan hanya dua sukan bukan sukan utama iaitu floorball dan bola jaring.” - Reuters

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...
