SIC Positif Kontrak Penganjuran F1 Diperbaharui

SEPANG, 23 Mac (Bernama) -- Pengerusi Litar Antarabangsa Sepang (SIC), Tan Sri Mokhzani Tun Dr Mahathir memberi bayangan positif bahawa kontrak penganjuran perlumbaan Formula Satu (F1) di Litar SIC akan dilanjutkan untuk tempoh tiga tahun lagi.

Bagaimanapun Mokhzani berkata keputusan pembaharuan kontrak itu masih belum muktamad dan hanya akan diumumkan jika mendapat kebenaran daripada pemegang saham iaitu Kementerian Kewangan.

"Kita masih lagi dalam proses perbincangan dengan FOM (Formula One Management) serta meneliti perjanjian baharu ini. Pihak SIC mahu satu keputusan yang tidak akan merugikan mana-mana pihak.

"Kita mahu situasi menang-menang...masih ada beberapa isu yang saya belum berpuas hati dan jika ia dapat dibincangkan dengan baik, SIC akan sambung kontrak untuk tiga tahun lagi," katanya kepada pemberita dalam satu majlis minum petang bersama media di SIC, di sini hari ini.

Mengulas mengenai jangka masa kontrak selama tiga tahun, Mokhzani berkata tiada tempoh minimum mahupun maksimum dinyatakan oleh FOM.

Katanya tempoh tiga tahun itu mencukupi buat SIC untuk memperbaiki dan menambah baik penganjuran F1 di masa akan datang.

Mokhzani berkata penglibatan Petronas dalam menaja pasukan Mercedes AMG juga turut memberi perangsang kepada SIC untuk terus menganjurkan perlumbaan bertaraf dunia itu.

"Difahamkan Petronas melanjutkan kontrak mereka selama tiga tahun untuk terus menaja pasukan Mercedes AMG, sekali gus ia menjadi perangsang untuk pastikan F1 berlansung di Sepang," katanya.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) SIC, Datuk Razlan Razali berkata pihaknya telah bersedia untuk menganjurkan perlumbaan kali ini yang dijadualkan berlansung pada 27 hingga 29 Mac ini.

Razlan berkata SIC juga telah memenuhi kesemua syarat dan keperluan terkini yang diperuntukkan oleh FOM serta Persekutuan Automobil Antarabangsa (FIA).

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 ...
