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 ...

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 press clippings on the 24 April 2008

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...
