KUALA LUMPUR, 7 Julai –  Pelumba Moto3 negara, Khairul Idham Pawi lega.

Dia telah dibenarkan berlepas ke Sepanyol untuk beraksi pada Kejuaraan Grand Prix Motosikal Dunia (MotoGP) selepas hajat awalnya tersekat gara-gara peraturan baharu Kesatuan Eropah (EU).

Khairul yang lebih dikenali dengan jolokan Super KIP, berlepas awal pagi tadi selepas diberi pengecualian dan kebenaran memasuki Sepanyol menjelang perlumbaan GP Sepanyol di Litar Jerez pada 17 hingga 19 Julai ini.

“Saya sangat gembira dan bersyukur sebab sudah dua kali datang ke lapangan terbang, tetapi hari ini baru saya boleh terbang. Terima kasih kepada pihak KBS (Kementerian Belia dan Sukan), Imigresen, MKN (Majlis Keselamatan Negara) dan pihak terlibat dalam memudahkan perjalanan keluar dan masuk,” kata pelumba pasukan Petronas Sprinta Racing itu dalam satu kenyataan hari ini.

KHiarul, 21, dijadual berlepas ke Sepanyol pada Jumaat lepas, namun terkandas di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) ekoran peraturan baharu EU yang hanya membenarkan warga dari 15 negara memasuki kesatuan itu, dengan Malaysia tidak termasuk dalam senarai.

Selain Khairul, pelumba negara yang turut beraksi pada GP Sepanyol adalah Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah daripada pasukan Aspar Team dan Kasma Daniel Kasmayudin yang mewakili ONEXOX TKKR SAG Team.

Mereka masing-masingnya bersaing dalam kelas Moto2.

“Saya akan cuba melakukan yang terbaik untuk negara dan jangan lupa memberi sokongan kepada saya dan pelumba negara yang lain,” kata Khairul yang kembali bersaing dalam kelas Moto3 musim ini selepas tiga musim beraksi dalam kelas Moto2.

Kejuaraan MotoGP musim ini ditangguhkan sejak Mac lalu selepas aksi pembuka tirai di Qatar akibat penularan pandemik Covid-19.

 

 

 

M-LEAGUE TO RESUME SOONER?

JOHOR BAHRU, 7 July – This Thursday could bring good news for Malaysian football when it will be decided if the M-League could be resumed sooner than expected.
Youth and Sports Minister, Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican (pic standing center) gave broad hints of the M-League resuming, as Malaysia recently continued to register single digit new Coronavirus cases in the country.
The M-League was suspended after the federal government’s movement control order (MCO) to check the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The last M-League matches were played on March 16 before taking a week-long break for international assignments. The pandemic, however, changed the whole scenario.
Reezal is confident that the authorities will give the green light for the resumption of the M-League.
Most of the teams have already resumed non-contact training and contact training is expected to begin on July 16.
The minister was speaking at a press conference at the Larkin Arena Aquatic Centre in Johor Bahru on Tuesday.
He also visited several other venues for Sukma Johor 2020 which have been postponed to March next year due to the pandemic.
”It has been a very disciplined approach on all fronts to check the pandemic. Over recent days, it has been single-digit cases without deaths. This gives us confidence that there will be a positive outcome on Thursday.
“With Malaysia’s Covid-19 pandemic well contained, it is a good sign for sporting events and football is all set to resume its activities, especially the M-League,” said Reezal.
“Still, the NSC (National Sports Council) holds the final decision. Let us hope for a positive outcome at the meeting.”
The meeting will be chaired by senior minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob who is also the defense minister.

THINGS FALL NICELY FOR KEDAH

KUALA LUMPUR, 6 July – It has been a horrible year for Kedah – hogging the limelight for the wrong reasons off the pitch – leaving the football fraternity shell shocked over the non-payment of salaries. 
For a team like Kedah, it was really shocking as the Red Eagles were engulfed in a financial mess when many thought it was one of the well-managed teams in the Malaysian League (M-League).
And not to be paid for nearly five months, left the morale of the team at an all-time low.
More was to come when a key pillar in the team – defender Azmeer Yusof has quit the team during the Movement Control Order (MCO) which came into force on March 18.
Azmeer’s premature departure to go into business, clipped the wings of the Red Eagles who are currently in seventh place in the 12-team Super League after four matches.
With Kedah going into the first phase of non-contact training beginning at the end of last week and their Singaporean coach, Aidil Sharin joining the team last Sunday, the northern team hopes a change for the better.
Amin Nazari, who hails from the Philippines, also returned to Alor Setar three days ago while Brazilian Renan Alves’s  Coronavirus (Covid-19) swab test done in Rio de Janeiro was negative and he is expected to fly out to Malaysia in the next couple of days.
Kedah began their non-contact training at the end of last month at the Darulaman Stadium under the strict operating procedures of the Health Ministry and the National Security Council.
While Aidil is hoping that the salary issues will be resolved at the earliest so that the team will be in the ‘right mood and spirit’ to face their opponents when the shortened league resumes as early as August or at the latest in September.
For one, Aidil will have his hands full to whip the team into shape when contact training gets the green light as early as July 16.
In the four matches which Kedah played before the league was abandoned, the Red Eagles secured full points in their 2-0 win over Selangor after sharing points with UiTM (1-1) and defeats to reigning champions Johor Darul Takzim (1-0) in the Charity Shield which also counted towards the league and a shock 4-3 defeat to Terengganu.
For the record, Kedah is the reigning FA Cup champions.
 
   

SAFUWAN RETURNS WHILE THE WAIT FOR IFEDAYO CONTINUES

KUALA LUMPUR, 5 July – While Selangor head coach B. Sathianathan (pic below) yearns for ‘contact training’ to resume at the earliest the return of Singaporean Safuwan Baharudin is some consolation for the Red Giants. Contact training is expected to begin on July 16.
Sathianathan, however, is keeping his fingers crossed for another of his foreigners to return and he is Nigerian hitman Ifedayo Olusegun. Both Safuwan and Ifedayo became ‘victims’ of the Coronavirus (Covid-19) and were stuck in their respective countries when borders were closed to contain the spread of the pandemic.
Safuwan returned on Friday and will take to the training on Monday. Selangor does not train on Saturdays and Sunday during this period after teams were given the green light to allow field training strict standard operating procedures(SOP) issued by the Health Ministry and the National Security Council.
The M-League was halted on March 16 – two days before the federal government enforced the nationwide lockdown on March 18.
Selangor last’s match was against Kedah on March 15 in Alor Setar. After the Kedah match, there was a five-day break for all the teams playing in the M-League.
However, Ifedayo was allowed to return to Lagos to visit his ailing mother while Safuwan returned to neighboring Singapore to visit his family. The rest of the players remained a home.
Safuwan’s return a big boost for the Red Giants and Sathianathan has been ‘on the line via zoom’ with Ifedayo who told him that he is ‘itching to return’ to train with the rest of the team.
“I must say all the players have been very professional with the individual training during the lockdown. They are in good shape and this includes Ifedayo,” said Sathianathan.
Selangor has five foreigners in their stable for and Australian defender Taylor Regan is the team skipper. The other foreign players in the Selangor team are Rufino Segovia who hails from Spain and Brazilian forward Sandro da Silva Mendonca.
Sathianathan revealed that Selangor FA is keeping in touch with the respective authorities to bring Ifedayo back at the earliest. Nigeria is also badly affected by Covid-19.
Meanwhile, Sathianathan revealed that Selangor is aiming for a spot in the AFC Cup next season.

KUALA LUMPUR, 4 July – Lin Dan, arguably the greatest men’s singles shuttler dubbed “Super Dan” stunned the badminton world on Saturday (July 4) with his sudden and unexpected retirement from the sport.
The incredible left-hander, born in Longyan, Fujian, wanted very much to play in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics but the ravaging Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic throw a spanner in his bid when the games were postponed to next summer in 2021.
The name “Super Dan” – given to him by Denmark’s Peter Gade – for his exploits on the court stuck to him. He was a “Super Dan” alright, winning all the badminton majors in the world and he lived up to his billing.
He won two Olympic golds – in Beijing in 2008 and retained it in London in 2012. On both occasions, he beat his greatest rival, Malaysia’s Datuk Lee Chong Wei.
In Beijing, he beat the Malaysian in straight games 21-12, 21-8 while in London Lin Dan needed three games before prevailing in a come from behind for a 15-21, 21-10, 21-19 win.
Chong Wei stopped Lin Dan in the semi-finals at the Rio Olympics in 2016 but the Malaysian again played bridesmaid when he fell to Chen Long at the final hurdle and the Olympic gold remained elusive.
Lin Dan also won five world titles and this he achieved in Madrid (2006), Kuala Lumpur (2007), Hyderabad (2009), London (2011), and Guangzhou (2013).
The Chinese legend also helped his country win the Thomas Cup six times and the Sudirman Cup five times.
Chong Wei describes Lin Dan as ”the greatest of all time”. The two were great rivals on the court and but were great buddies off the court.
 Lin Dan’s 20-year badminton journey began in 2000 and it ends a year after Chong Wei retired from the sport in June last year due to health reasons when he was diagnosed with nasal cancer.

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 July – Kelantan football took another beating off the field when Kelantan FA (Kafa) vice president, Datuk Mohd Rowi Abdullah quit his post on Thursday.
It is another body blow for the East Coast state who ply their trade in the lower tier, Premier League. It comes in the wake of Kafa president, Datuk Wan Abdul Rahim Wan Abdullah and his deputy Datuk Seri Afandi Hamzah told to take a “rest” at the end of last month.
Kafa vice president, Datuk Shaari Mat Hussin was appointed as the acting president with immediate effect.
Kelantan’s financial crisis deepened when the FA of Malaysia suspended all leagues in the country on March 16 – two days before the country was lockdown by the federal government to check the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic which has hit the world.
Kafa landed in hot soup after their former Brazilian import, Cassio de Jesus filed a case with Fifa – the world football governing body – over the long overdue payments in salaries and other fees.
The Brazilian is owed close to RM630,000 during his two-year stint with the Red Warriors in 2018 and 2019.
Kelantan – currently seventh in the Premier League – plies it football trade on a shoe-string budget. The East Coast hopefuls also owed the Employees Provident Fund (EPF).
To make matters worse for Kelantan some of their sponsors who had pledged for the new season left the team in a lurch when they abandoned Kafa.

KUALA LUMPUR, 30 Jun –  Andai Kejohanan Badminton Terbuka Malaysia diteruskan pada bulan November depan, ia bakal memerlukan perbelanjaan tambahan.


Kos tambahan tersebut adalah bagi memenuhi Prosedur Operasi Standard (SOP) yang wajib dipatuhi oleh mana-mana organisasi ketika negara masih belum pulih sepenuhnya daripada ancaman Covid19.


Perbelanjaan tambahan itu adalah untuk menyediakan segala keperluan yang wajib dipatuhi di bawah SOP Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan Pemulihan (PKPP) selain jangkaan kemerosotan kehadiran penonton.


Demikian tegas Presiden Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Datuk Seri Mohamad Norza Zakaria ketika ditemui selepas mesyuarat Lembaga Eksekutif Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) ke-20 di Wisma OCM, di ibu negara hari ini.


Begitupun, setakat ini, penganjuran kejohanan tersebut masih belum ada kata putus dan ia hanya akan diketahui selepas mesyuarat ahli majlis BAM dalam masa terdekat.


Menurut Norza Zakaria, BAM perlu mempertimbangkan beberapa faktor sebelum meneruskan penganjuran kejohanan berkenaan yang menawarkan hadiah wang tunai keseluruhan berjumlah RM3.212 juta.


“Antaranya adalah kos tambahan bagi menyediakan pencuci tangan dan yang lain-lainnya serta berkemungkinan berdepan masalah kemerosotan kehadiran penonton.


“Terbuka Malaysia juga bukan merupakan sebahagian daripada kejohanan yang menawarkan mata kelayakan untuk ke Sukan Olimpik (Tokyo 2020). Selain itu, kita juga perlu melihat kesesuaian penganjuran kejohanan ini kerana kita sedang berdepan (pandemik) Covid-19,” kata Norza yang juga Presiden Majlis Olimpik Malaysia.






Menurutnya lagi, pemain ternama dunia juga tidak pasti bakal menyertai Terbuka Malaysia kerana kerajaan masih mengenakan sekatan perjalanan kepada pelawat asing.






Sebelum ini, media tempatan melaporkan bahawa BAM dikatakan tidak berhasrat meneruskan penganjuran Terbuka Malaysia kerana dikatakan perlu menanggung kos yang lebih tinggi.


Terbuka Malaysia dijadualkan berlangsung pada 31 Mac hingga 5 April lalu, namun Persekutuan Badminton Dunia (BWF) menyusun semula kalendar kejohanan bagi musim 2020 akibat penularan Covid19 yang menyaksikan ia diubah kepada November depan.


Penyusunan kalendar kejohanan 2020 oleh BWF menyaksikan mata kelayakan ke Sukan Olimpik hanya akan dikira menerusi kalendar musim 2021.
