FAM Perlu Contohi Uefa Tangani Samseng Bola Sepak - Velappan

KUALA LUMPUR, 9 Dis (Bernama) -- Bekas Penolong Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) Datuk Peter Velappan mencadangkan badan induk kebangsaan itu mengikut langkah Kesatuan Bola Sepak Negara-Negara Eropah (Uefa) dalam menangani isu samseng bola sepak yang semakin menjadi-jadi di negara ini.

Sambil melahirkan kebimbangan terhadap masalah itu, beliau berkata FAM perlu memainkan peranan lebih proaktif dalam membendung keganasan itu, seperti yang dilakukan Uefa dengan mengenakan hukuman berat kepada anggota gabungannya jika berlaku kekecohan sama ada semasa perlawanan di tempat sendiri atau lawan.

"Kita harus belajar daripada mereka (Uefa), kaedah menangani isu samseng bola sepak ini. Saya sedih dengan kekecohan di Stadium Shah Alam, Ahad lepas, di mana beberapa penyokong Vietnam cedera selepas diserang penyokong negara dan ia secara tidak langsung mencemarkan imej penyokong bola sepak Malaysia yang terkenal berkelakuan baik.

"Situasi ini tidak pernah berlaku semasa saya di FAM sebelum ini. Saya berharap FAM dan polis akan melihat perkara ini pada perlawanan akan datang," kata Velappan.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita pada majlis pelancaran edisi kedua kejohanan bola sepak bawah 19 Tahun Piala 1Malaysia anjuran Yayasan Rakyat 1Malaysia (YR1M), di sini Selasa.

Beberapa penyokong Vietnam dilaporkan cedera selepas diserang penyokong negara yang kecewa selepas Malaysia tumpas 1-2 kepada Vietnam pada separuh akhir pertama Piala AFF Suzuki 2014 di Stadium Shah Alam, Ahad lepas.

Velappan juga menyokong cadangan Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin agar FAM mengenakan hukuman berat terhadap penyokong yang bertindak ganas, seperti menghalang mereka daripada memasuki stadium seumur hidup jika mereka didapati mempunyai rekod buruk dalam perlawanan-perlawanan sebelum ini.

Mengenai insiden di Shah Alam itu, Velappan yang juga bekas Setiausaha Agung Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC) berkata kekurangan pegawai keselamatan sebelum dan selepas perlawanan itu merupakan faktor utama yang menyebabkan kekecohan tersebut.

"Saya tidak tahu apa yang berlaku kerana saya tiada di stadium, tetapi polis tiba lewat sedangkan kekecohan sudah pun berlaku. (Pegawai) FAM dan polis sepatutnya tiba lebih awal bagi mengelak sebarang kejadian tidak diingini sebelum dan selepas perlawanan," katanya.

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 ...
