KOM Hantar Kertas Cadangan Kepada MOM Mengenai Penganjuran MIM 2015

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Jan (Bernama) -- Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) akan menghantar satu kertas cadangan kepada Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) mengenai Marathon Antarabangsa Malaysia (MIM) 2015 yang penganjurannya masih belum menemui jalan penyelesaian sehingga kini.

Ketua Pengarah, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Ahmad Shapawi Ismail berkata beliau telah dimaklumkan oleh Presiden KOM, Datuk Karim Ibrahim bahawa mereka akan berbuat demikian sebagai cara penyelesaian selepas MOM dilaporkan tetap berkeras untuk menggunakan nama asal.

"Ia memandangkan KOM merupakan anggota gabungan MOM...Saya dimaklumkan mereka (KOM) akan menghantar kertas cadangan itu dalam tempoh terdekat dan saya akan biarkan perkara ini diselesaikan oleh mereka.

"Terpulang kepada MOM sama ada mahu melihat cadangan berkenaan atau tidak," kata Ahmad Shapawi kepada pemberita selepas menhadiri mesyuarat bersama KOM di sini hari ini.

Karim sebelum ini bertegas bahawa KOM tidak akan mengiktiraf acara itu kerana mendakwa ia bertentangan dengan peraturan Persekutuan Olahraga Antarabangsa (IAAF) yang mensyaratkan mana-mana kejohanan olahraga perlu mendapat sokongan badan induk olahraga sesebuah negara.

Acara itu yang dijadual berlangsung 23 dan 24 Mei ini di Stadium Batu Kawan, Pulau Pinang dengan hadiah keseluruhan RM350,000 dianjurkan buat julung kalinya oleh MOM dengan matlamat mengutip dana bagi membantu persatuan sukan kebangsaan yang menghadapi kekangan kewangan.

Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pemasaran dan Penajaan MOM pada minggu lepas membuat pusingan U dengan memutuskan untuk mengekalkan nama asal kerana mendakwa ia sesuai sebagai strategi pemasaran penaja larian tersebut.

Presiden MOM, Tan Sri Tunku Imran Tuanku Ja'afar pada 13 Jan lepas dilaporkan bercadang menukar nama MIM kepada Larian Jambatan Tuanku Abdul Halim setelah mendapat bantahan awal daripada KOM.

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 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...
