Perak ditawar tuan rumah Sukma 2018

IPOH - Perak ditawarkan menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) pada 2018 namun sama ada negeri ini sanggup memikul tugas sebagai penganjur akan dikaji terlebih dahulu.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia, Sukan, Komunikasi dan Belia negeri, Datuk Shahrulzaman Yahya yang mendedahkan perkara itu berkata, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) membuat tawaran berkenaan baru-baru ini namun kerajaan negeri belum memberikan jawapan.

Menurutnya, banyak perkara perlu diteliti berhubung tawaran itu terutamanya kesediaan dan kebolehan Perak untuk menjadi penganjur selepas menjadi tuan rumah pada 1994.

"MSN menawarkan kita menjadi tuan rumah Sukma 2018 iaitu selepas Sarawak yang menganjurkan kejohanan pada 2016.

"Namun segala-galanya terpulang kepada kesediaan kita untuk menganjurkan temasya sukan ini. MSN perlu mengadakan kajian untuk mengetahui sama ada Perak memiliki prasarana yang diperlukan.

"Kajian harus dibuat untuk memastikan sama ada Perak benar-benar bersedia atau tidak untuk menjadi penganjur temasya sukan ini," katanya ketika berucap pada Penyampaian Skim Insentif Sukma Perlis di sini hari ini.

Yang turut hadir Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri yang juga Ketua Kontinjen Perak ke Sukma di Perlis, Datuk Seri Abdul Puhat Mat Nayan.

Pada Sukma di Perlis baru-baru ini, Perak menduduki tempat keenam keseluruhan dengan 24 pingat emas, 24 perak dan 36 gangsa.

Perak turut memenangi acara 'ibu segala pingat emas' iaitu acara bola sepak selain pasukan hoki lelakinya memenangi pingat emas selepas 12 tahun.

Pada majlis berkenaan, kontinjen olahraga muncul penerima insentif tertinggi yang berjumlah RM60,000 hasil kejayaan membawa pulang 6 emas, 6 perak dan 7 gangsa.

Sementara itu, Shahrulzaman berkata, ekoran pencapaian cemerlang kontinjen negeri ini pada Sukma lalu, Perak meletakan sasaran untuk muncul juara keseluruhan pada 2018.

"Tidak kira sama ada Perak menjadi tuan rumah Sukma pada 2018, sasaran kita adalah untuk muncul juara dalam tempoh empat tahun lagi," katanya.

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...
