Koleksi Wira Malaysia



Kuala Lumpur: “Kita bukan hanya melancarkan jersi dan corak baru baju atlet kebangsaan, tapi kita lancarkan sekali semangat baru, bermula dengan Sukan Komanwel 2014 Glasgow nanti,” kata Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar.

Semalam Khairy melancarkan secara rasmi pakaian atlet kebangsaan yang diberi nama Koleksi Wira Malaysia hasil sentuhan pereka fesyen terkenal tempatan Melinda Looi.

“Ramai yang memberi komen positif ketika saya mempromosi pakaian rasmi atlet kebangsaan di laman sosial, namun tidak kurang yang memberi pendapat tidak guna pakaian garang tapi atlet tidak, namun inilah yang dikatakan impak psikologi,” katanya dalam ucapan di Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Bukit Jalil semalam.

Menurutnya, pembangunan atlet bukan hanya terhadap pengasuhan bakat, tapi bagaimana cara memberi sokongan dan menaikkan moral.

“Sebelum melancarkan jersi Panthera pada 2005, atlet kita tidak ada pakaian seragam, tapi selepas itu ramai rakyat Malaysia memakainya ketika menyokong skuad badminton bertarung di Piala Thomas, memberi sokongan kepada skuad bola sepak kebangsaan di stadium dan menyaksikan perlumbaan membabitkan Azizulhasni Awang serta Josiah Ng di velodrom.



“Saya rasakan sudah tiba masanya untuk meniup nafas segar dan corak baru ini juga lebih menarik, bertenaga serta garang meningkatkan keyakinan atlet yang menggalas harapan besar rakyat Malaysia,” katanya.
Khairy yang mula mendapat idea itu sejak awal tahun ini, mengambil contoh sentuhan pereka fesyen terkenal seperti Giorgio Armani yang menyediakan sut untuk skuad bola sepak Itali dan begitu juga Paul Smith bagi England.

“Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) juga menandatangani dua perjanjian dengan syarikat swasta Sunrise Sports, pengedar jenama Yonex iaitu pengeluar rasmi pakaian kebangsaan dengan corak baru ini akan digunakan atlet serta pegawai hingga 2020.

“Pakaian untuk atlet ini merangkumi baju trek lengkap, kemeja-T berkolar dan tidak berkolar, topi serta beg bernilai RM669.40. Yonex akan menyumbangkan tajaan ini kepada MSN sebanyak 10,000 set bersamaan dengan RM6.69 juta. Ia akan dipakai atlet negara di Sukan SEA 2015, 2017 dan 2019, Sukan Komanwel 2018, Sukan Asia 2019 dan Sukan Olimpik 2016 serta 2020,” katanya.

Perjanjian kedua pula membabitkan MSN dan Telekom Malaysia Berhad (TM) yang akan menjual jersi kepada orang ramai hingga 2016.

Pada majlis itu juga, MSN menyumbang RM50,000 kepada Perikatan Pemuliharaan Harimau Malaysia (MyCAT) hasil royalti penjualan jersi Panthera.

“Kita rasa bersalah jika tidak bekerjasama dengan pertubuhan ini kerana kita bangga dengan jersi dengan corak belang Harimau Malaya, tapi tidak sedar binatang itu makin pupus kerana pemburuan haram yang tidak terkawal,” kata Khairy.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

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 ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
