Sports Ministry To Promote Football In Schools By Providing Incentives, Assistance - Khairy


SERI KEMBANGAN, Jan 26 (Bernama) -- The Youth and Sports Ministry will introduce various incentives to schools and their students who are directly involved in the National Football Development Programme (PPBN).

Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said PPBN wants a variation in incentives and assistance provided at the grassroots level, including providing coaches and sports science to enhance their training programmes.

Khairy said the incentive for primary schools would be based on a merit points system with schools that accumulated high points receiving equipment for football, assistance to maintain playing fields and free football clinics.

"The problem of lack of fields is not faced by one or two schools but the problems exists everywhere," he said in his speech at a PPBN seminar here today.

Merit points would be awarded to primary schools if their students are selected for Sports Schools or the National Football Academy, state sports schools, Tunas Academy or selected to represent their district.

Other incentives include Permodalan Nasional Berhad shares.

Khairy said to encourage participation of female students in football, PPBN will prepare equipment and coaching clinics for those aged between 7 and 17.

He said the seminar today was to chart the direction of football development in the country and to strengthen PPBN's administration at the National and state levels.

Among those present at the seminar today were Education Ministry's Sports Director Datuk Marina Chin, PPBN Technical Coordinator Lim Teong Kim, National Sports Council director-general Ahmad Shapawi Ismail, National Sports Institute chief executive officer Datuk Dr Ramlan Abdul Aziz and the Football Association of Malaysia Technical director Fritz Markus Schmid.

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...

KBS realistik

TERUJA...Shabery (dua dari kanan) melancarkan Logo Tahun Industri Sukan 2011-2012 di Casa 1, MSN, semalam.    KETIKA beberapa sukan utama diletakkan sasaran meraih pingat khususnya emas di Sukan Olimpik 2012 London, penyertaan bola sepak dan hoki sebagai keluarga baru program Road To London pula dilihat sekadar membantu mereka melepasi kelayakan. Mungkin bersikap lebih realistik dengan keupayaan kedua-dua sukan itu di pentas lebih tinggi, Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek mahu segala bantuan diberikan kepada sejumlah 50 pemain bola sepak dan hoki kebangsaan bagi membolehkan mereka tersenarai sebagai kontinjen ke London. “Bagi acara hoki dan bola sepak, kita tidak boleh melihat bantuan perlu diberi selepas mereka layak tetapi kita akan cuba bantu mereka supaya mereka layak. “Tiada kompromi terhadap misi mendapatkan emas pertama tetapi sasaran kita tahun ini ialah mendapatkan seberapa ramai atlet ke Sukan Olimpik,” katanya selepas mempen...
