Bumbung Pusat Akuatik koyak

PENGUNJUNG Pusat Akuatik melihat bumbung yang terkoyak dan jatuh ke dalam kolam renang yang sepatutnya digunakan untuk acara renang dalam Sukma XVII di Kangar semalam.
 
KANGAR - Selepas beberapa jam insiden melibatkan bumbung koyak dan tercabut di Pusat Akuatik di Kompleks Sukan Negeri di sini, kontraktor utama Lima Corporation Sdn. Bhd. akhirnya tampil memberikan penjelasan berhubung isu berkaitan.

Pengarah operasinya, Hishamuddin Abd. Hamid berkata, pihaknya diberi jaminan keselamatan oleh syarikat pembekal bumbung yang beroperasi di Pulau Pinang sebelum ia dipasang di venue tersebut.
Dia menegaskan, pembekal sudah memberi jaminan bahawa ia selamat digunakan tetapi perkara yang terjadi semalam menyebabkan keseluruhan bumbung itu perlu dibuka.

Katanya, tindakan membuka bumbung dilakukan 30 minit selepas kejadian itu berlaku dengan bantuan daripada sub-kontraktor yang masih melakukan kerja-kerja di dalam kawasan kompleks sukan itu.

"Kami akan melihat kembali perkara ini sebelum membuat tindakan lanjut kerana ia secara tidak langsung menjejaskan nama baik kami.

"Bumbung baharu tidak akan dapat dipasang dalam tempoh terdekat kerana ia akan menjejaskan penganjuran sukan di lokasi ini. Ia hanya akan dipasang selepas tamat temasya sukan ini," katanya.
Difahamkan, kontraktor utama itu adalah 'penyelamat' kepada projek yang gagal disiapkan dan mereka hanya diberikan tugasan berkenaan pada Julai tahun lalu.

Bagaimanapun, disebabkan kelewatan Persatuan Renang Amatur Malaysia (ASUM) memberikan persetujuan dengan pelbagai perkara teknikal, kerja-kerja pembinaan hanya bermula pada Februari lalu iaitu tiga bulan sebelum acara bermula.

Sementara itu, Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara, Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong berkata, pihaknya akan mengadakan pertemuan dengan kontraktor yang terlibat serta Jabatan Kerja Raya (JKR) bagi membincangkan perkara itu.

Selain itu katanya, satu laporan penuh berkaitan isu itu akan dihantar kepada Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) untuk tindakan susulan.

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 press clippings on the 24 April 2008

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...
