July 1, 2012 

Karim mahu atlet Sarawak terus fokus, tidak cetus masalah menjelang Sukma XV


KUCHING: Timbalan Ketua Kontinjen I Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) Sarawak, Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah menggesa pengurus dan jurulatih kontinjen agar sentiasa memantau prestasi serta masalah yang dihadapi atlet dari masa ke semasa.

Ia adalah penting bagi memastikan para atlet sentiasa fokus dalam latihan dan tidak menimbulkan sebarang masalah menjelang Sukma XV yang tinggal enam hari lagi sebelum membuka tirainya.

“Pengurus dan jurulatih setiap pasukan harus sentiasa mengawasi masalah yang dihadapi oleh para atlet di dalam kem latihan,” jelas Abdul Karim semasa majlis pembukaan kem kontinjen Sukma di Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (Unimas) semalam.

“Selain itu, mereka juga harus memantau masalah keluarga yang dihadapi oleh setiap atlet bagi memastikan mereka tidak hilang tumpuan.”

“Kita juga mahu para atlet mengekalkan disiplin yang tinggi sebelum dan semasa kejohanan ini berlangsung bagi menjaga nama baik Sarawak,” jelas Abdul Karim lagi.

Abdul Karim yang juga Menteri Muda Pembangunan Belia turut menasihati para atlet agar tidak hanya memikirkan wang insentif yang bakal diterima jika meraih sebarang pingat.

Sebaliknya, mereka harus memikirkan soal mengharumkan nama negeri dan yang paling penting membawa balik kejuaraan di sini.

READY FOR BATTLE: Karim and the Sarawak contingent athletes and officials chant the ‘Agi Hidup Agi Ngeleban’ slogan at the opening of the contingent camp.

KUCHING: State athletes were yesterday urged to give their very best to win gold medals and regain past glory by emerging victorious in the coming Sukma XV in Kuantan, Pahang from July 7 to 16.

Making the call was deputy chef-de-mission Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah who hoped that with new leaders, team managers and coaches, Sarawak can become overall champions again.

“Victory has been very elusive to us for the past few Sukma and we were only successful in the early years. We hope that Sarawak can regain glory this year,” Karim said during the opening of the Sarawak Contingent camp at Universiti Malaysia Sarawak badminton hall yesterday.

He was representing chef-de-mission Datuk Lee Kim Shin, who is the Assistant Minister of Sports and Assistant Minister of Communications.

Karim, who is the Assistant Minister of Housing cum Assistant Minister of Social Development (Youth Development) also stressed on the importance of the roles of the team managers and coaches to monitor their athletes closely.

“We want the athletes to be in tip-top condition when they go into the battleground to win glory for us and we do not want them to have any problems be it personal, family or health because this will affect their performance drastically at the Games,” he added.

Karim said he will not condone any indiscipline in the Sarawak camp and urged the members of the state contingent to protect the image of the state while in Pahang or in Unimas.
