Hanya MB Boleh Putuskan Penggunaan Kompleks Renang - ASUM

KANGAR, 27 Mei (Bernama) -- Keputusan sama ada Kompleks Renang di Kompleks Sukan Negeri (KSN) di sini boleh diguna atau tidak untuk Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) ke-17 terletak pada Menteri Besar Perlis Datuk Seri Azlan Man.

Setiausaha Kehormat Persatuan Renang Amatur Malaysia (ASUM) Edwin Chong berkata ini kerana kompleks itu terletak di bawah bidang kuasa kerajaan negeri.

"Kita sudah melihat keadaan Kompleks Renang ini. ASUM tidak boleh membuat keputusan akhir sama ada ia dapat digunakan esok (hari pertama acara akuatik).

"Keputusan sama ada kompleks ini boleh digunakan bergantung kepada mesyuarat antara Menteri Besar dengan pihak kontraktor yang saya difahamkan berlangsung hari ini. Kita kena tunggu keputusan itu," katanya kepada Bernama di sini Selasa.

Beliau ditemui selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat pengurus pasukan di kompleks renang berkenaan.

Menurutnya berdasarkan pemeriksaan ASUM di Kompleks Renang itu, tiga perkara utama menimbulkan kebimbangan iaitu pengaliran air di kedua-dua kolam, getah pelapik antigelincir di platform terjun dan aspek pencahayaan.

Sementara itu tinjauan Bernama pada Isnin mendapati kerja-kerja pemasangan bumbung masih dijalankan dan air kolam pula keruh.

Mengenai pertandingan yang dijadualkan esok, Chong berkata acara akan berlangsung seperti yang dijadualkan setelah mendapat kata putus daripada kerajaan negeri.

Pada masa ini kebanyakan atlet sedang menjalani latihan di Pusat Akuatik Gunung Kriang, Alor Setar dan juga di Universiti Utara Malaysia, Sintok, di Kedah, katanya.

Semalam, Menteri Besar Perlis memberi jaminan bahawa acara renang dan terjun akan tetap dijalankan di Kompleks Renang KSN seperti yang dijadualkan.

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...
