‘Wira Malaysia’ Rekaan Melinda Looi Untuk Atlet Malaysia


KUALA LUMPUR – Koleksi baharu pakaian rasmi kontinjen Malaysia akan diperagakan oleh atlet negara buat pertama kali pada temasya Sukan Komanwel di Glasgow, Scotland, Julai ini.

Dikenali sebagai ‘Wira Malaysia’, koleksi rekaan pereka fesyen terkenal Melinda Looi itu merangkumi set pakaian rasmi untuk acara perarakan pada perasmian temasya sukan dan kit atlet merangkumi trek sut, kemeja-T berkolar dan tidak berkolar, beg dan topi.

Pada majlis pembukaan dan perarakan masuk temasya sukan, kontinjen negara akan mengenakan baju kurung dan selendang bagi atlet wanita dan baju Melayu bersampin bagi atlet lelaki bermotifkan corak songket mengikut warna Harimau Malaya iaitu oren dan hitam.

Berucap melancarkan koleksi bercorak baharu itu di sini hari ini, Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin berkata setelah hampir 10 tahun, sudah tiba masanya ia diberi nafas baharu supaya lebih segar, menarik, bertenaga dan ‘lebih garang’ seiring dengan nama Harimau Malaya yang dibawa.
“Sudah pasti corak baju tidak menentukan kemenangan tetapi ia boleh menaikkan semangat kita sebagai identiti negara,” katanya. Kit kontinjen negara sedia ada mula digunakan sejak November 2005.

Khairy berkata beliau mendapat ilham untuk memperbaharui rekaan pakaian rasmi kontinjen negara menerusi penampilan pasukan bola sepak Itali dan Great Britain yang mana pakaian rasmi masing-masing pernah mendapat sentuhan golongan pereka tersohor.

“Kita bukan sahaja mahu melihat dari segi prestasi tetapi juga mahu memberikan gambaran penampilan atlet negara sebagai sebahagian daripada aset dan gaya kepada mereka,” katanya.
Sementara itu, beberapa atlet kebangsaan yang ditemui berkata corak baharu pakaian rasmi kontinjen kebangsaan itu mampu meniup semangat baharu kepada mereka yang bakal beraksi di Sukan Komanwel nanti.

Ratu terjun negara Pandalela Rinong yang dikenali antara yang gemar berfesyen, berkata beliau teruja dengan rekaan baharu lebih segar itu yang sedikit sebanyak mampu meningkatkan motivasi atlet kebangsaan.

Pandangannya itu dikongsi jaguh badminton nombor satu dunia Datuk Lee Chong Wei yang berkata koleksi baharu itu akan menguatkan lagi semangatnya untuk berjuang di arena antarabangsa.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
