PARALIMPIAD 2010 MELAKA

Kementerian Belia dan Sukan bersetuju Sukan Paralimpiad ke negeri yang menjadi hos Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) bermula di Melaka 2010 adalah untuk mengubah persepsi masyarakat tentang kebolehan dan kemampuan golongan Orang Kurang Upaya (OKU) dalam acara sukan,

Gambaran serta persepsi orang ramai perlu diubah dengan segera terhadap penyertaan OKU dalam sukan. Justeru jalan yang terbaik ialah meletakkan mereka sama taraf dengan atlet yang bertanding di Sukma.

''Sukan Paralimpiad juga sama penting dengan sukan besar lain yang dianjurkan di dalam negara ini. sebelum ini masyarakat tidak memberi perhatian mengenai kejohanan ini," kata Menteri Belia dan Sukan dalam sidang media selepas merasmikan Sukan Paralimpiad ke-14;

Jelasnya, penganjuran Sukan Paralimpiad di Melaka pada tahun 2010 nanti diharap mampu mengubah persepsi masyarakat terutama sekali buat golongan muda.

''Selain dari mengubah persepsi masyarakat penganjuran Sukan Paralimpiad di negeri yang menganjurkan Sukma juga boleh meningkatkan lagi kemudahan sukan untuk atlet OKU di negeri tersebut.

''Selepas selesai Sukma, tiba giliran penganjuran Sukan Paralimpiad pula dan negeri tersebut mestilah mempunyai kelengkapan yang mesra OKU,"

Ujarnya, penganjuran sukan untuk atlet OKU di tempat yang sama untuk atlet normal sudah berlangsung dengan meluas di kejohanan antarabangsa misalnya selepas sahaja Sukan Olimpik tamat akan berlangsung pula Sukan Paralimpik begitu juga dengan Sukan Para ASEAN diadakan selepas Sukan SEA.

Petikan dari Utusan Malaysia;

SUKMA 2010 akan di adakan pada 28 Mei hingga 6 Jun 2010 di Bandar Bersejarah Melaka dan di ikuti dengan Paralimpiad 2010 dan tarikh di jangka 11 - 19 Jun 2010 ikut jangkaan salepas SUKMA 2010, ini masih belum pasti sebab belum ada tarikh rasmi lagi.

Sifu mencadangkan semua jurulatih negeri harus sudah bermula mencari atlet paralimpiad mengikut format asean Paragames lalu untuk acara catur dan di harap kali ini akan melihat semua negeri mengantar peserta catur lelaki dan perempuan dalam acara B1, B2&B3 serta Combined B1,B2 &B3 dan cacat anggota.

Peserta harus di cungkil dari sekolah pendidikan khas atau mana mana pusat latihan OKU dalam mencari bakat baru pemain catur untuk membantu pembangunan catur di peringkat negara.

MAKE SPORTS A WAY OF LIFE OR MAKE CHESS AS SPORTS FIRST

In The Malay Mail, an interesting article about Russian Anna Koutnikova, well she is not a chess queen but a tennis beauty.

Sports is part of the Russian culture and it is only natural to see the dominance of Russia in all form of sports.

Quoting her, who believes that the only way to succeed at top-level is by embracing sports as a way of life, that is why Russia is able to produce endless great players in all field of sports.

Sifu have had the opportunity to study and understand this very system when sifu was in USSR(before the break up)at the School of Pioneers in Moscow and Schuimi University of Sports way back but MALAYSIA is something different, it never have or will ever have any workable plans unlike working with MPM and MSN to plan for the paralimpic athlets with its ten years plan and it work successfully with the eight Golds in the last 5th. Asean Paragames.

Unless and until Malaysia start working with MSN our players could just dream and hope for miracles and hope that chess be accepted as sports first before even thinking and hoping for chess to be a way of life.

For those inspiring youngsters do not make and repeat the last 30 years of mistakes but dream you must but make changes or we might be way off and backward compared to Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam or even Nyanmar.

SENDIRIAN

Aku singgah disini, di sebuah pelabuhan
Setelah kesekian lama berlayar mengharungi samudera hayat
Lalu, di jeti aku merenung ke dalam diri
Menghitung
Bekas dan jejak yang pernah ku tinggalkan

Aku bertanya sendirian
Apakah bekalan perlu ku bawa
Dan berapa amalan telah ku himpun
Persiapan bakal di bawa pulang
Menuju ke garis akhir

Ah!!!...
Usia pun berlalu sederas deru taufan
Sepantas kilat menyambar
Dan di suatu ketika
Pelabuhan ini akan kutinggalkan
Sahabat-handai, rakan-taulan
Sanak-saudara, kekasih-tercinta
Adalah ikatan longgar yang bakal usai
Pasti ku tinggalkan
Dan yang ada kini; cuma diriku sendiri
Kian terasing terpisah
Melewati dan meninggalkan
Hari-hari silam
Penuh kesendirian

SIFU IS BACK

Thanks to all friends for the well wishes and visits while Sifu was at GHKL for the last 10 days. The stroke was something unexpected but sifu was tired and the Hari Raya Season had all the fantastic food so the bitter leason of not controlling the temptations of good food.
My thanks to my fantastic family who gave all the support and looking after sifu doing the critical times and all the doctors and nurses from Polyclinic Brickfiels, Tanglin Hospital and Wad 18. 19 and 21 of GHKL.
What is stroke?

A stroke is the rapidly developing loss of brain function(s) due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. This can be due to ischemia (lack of blood supply) caused by thrombosis or embolism or due to a hemorrhage. As a result, the affected area of the brain is unable to function, leading to inability to move one or more limbs on one side of the body, inability to understand or formulate speech, or inability to see one side of the visual field
