KBS suntik dana penyelamat LTdL


KUALA LUMPUR - Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) sekali lagi muncul penyelamat Le Tour de Lang­ka­wi (LTdL) dengan menyuntik dana berjumlah RM1.6 juta bagi menyelesaikan masalah berhubung ganjaran wang yang tidak dijelaskan Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) kepada pemenang.



Menterinya, Khairy Jamaluddin berkata, ini wajar dilaksanakan bagi menjaga imej LTdL yang akan memulakan edisi 2015 pada 8 hingga 15 Mac depan.
Tambahnya, beliau turut me­ng­a­­­rah­­kan Pejabat Pesuruhjaya Sukan untuk meneliti kes tersebut bagi memastikan masalah itu dapat di­selesaikan dengan lancar.

“Mengenai isu LTdL, saya telah bertanya kepada Pesuruhjaya Sukan untuk meneliti perkara itu. Saya ingin tahu me­ngapa (ganjaran wang) ditahan.
“Jika dana itu sudah tiada lagi, maka saya meminta mereka (PKBM) menulis surat kepada KBS, jadi kami boleh memeriksa baki yang belum dijelas.

“Kita perlu menjaga imej LTdL. Jika pasukan (pemenang) tidak dibayar, mereka tidak akan datang, jadi apa yang boleh kita lakukan?,” katanya dalam sidang akbar selepas membuat lawatan ke Rumah Transit 1Malaysia di Pinggiran Bukit Ja­lil, di sini semalam.

Yang hadir sama, Menteri Kese­jahteraan Bandar, Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan, Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan.

Majlis Sukan Nega­ra (MSN) pernah men­depositkan hadiah wang tunai meng­ikut prosedur yang ditetapkan ke dalam akaun PKBM sebelum permulaan kejohanan LTdL pada 26 Februari tahun ini.
Bagaimanapun, pa­da Sabtu lalu terdedah bahawa pemenang masih belum menerima sebarang bayaran hingga kini.

Ini merupakan kali kedua dalam tempoh tujuh tahun kerajaan telah menyelamatkan LTdL dengan menyuntik dana berjumlah RM10.7 juta. Pada tahun 2006 penganjur pertama Cartel Sdn. Bhd. gagal menyelesaikan bayaran kepada kontraktor, hotel, pekerja dan hadiah wang tunai.

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...
