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...

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 ...
