Ahmad Shapawi Dilantik Ketua Pengarah MSN Baharu

KUALA LUMPUR, 18 Dis (Bernama) -- Pesuruhjaya Sukan Malaysia, Ahmad Shapawi Ismail dilantik sebagai Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) yang baharu berkuat kuasa Jumaat.

Pengumuman dibuat Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Khairy Jamaluddin selepas mesyuarat Lembaga Pengurus MSN pada Khamis.

Pelantikan bagi tempoh dua tahun itu adalah seperti yang diperuntukkan dalam Akta MSN 1971.

Ahmad Shapawi mempunyai pengalaman luas di MSN sebelum menjadi Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Institut Sukan Negara dan seterusnya dilantik sebagai Pesuruhjaya Sukan.

Beliau memulakan kerjaya sebagai Pegawai Bahagian Latihan Atlet di MSN pada 1988 dengan jawatan tertinggi selaku pengarah bahagian atlet pada 2007 yang membolehkannya terbabit secara langsung dalam Program Jaya '98, Gemilang 2001 dan Doha 2006.

Jawatan Ketua Pengarah MSN sebelum ini disandang Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong selama tujuh tahun sejak 2007 dan beliau kini dilantik sebagai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Sukan Sea 2017.

Sebanyak 40 permohonan telah diterima bagi mengisi jawatan berkenaan dan daripada jumlah itu KBS menyenarai pendek lapan calon.

Antara yang tersenarai ialah Dr Hamdan Mohd Ali (pensyarah Universiti Malaya), Datuk Salim Parlan (bekas Timbalan Ketua Setiausaha Strategik KBS) dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Persatuan Badminton Ireland, Richard Vaughan dari Wales.

Kekosongan jawatan Ketua Pengarah MSN diiklankan pada 4 Nov di laman web rasmi Kementerian Belia dan Sukan bagi mencari pengganti Zolkples susulan prestasi hambar kontinjen Malaysia pada temasya Sukan Komanwel Glasgow dan Sukan Asia di Incheon, Korea Selatan.

Kontinjen negara gagal mencapai sasaran pingat emas di kedua-dua temasya itu iaitu kurang satu daripada enam emas di Glasgow, manakala di Incheon, Malaysia sekadar mendapat lima emas daripada lapan yang disasar.

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...

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 ...
