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.

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...

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 ...
