Indonesia to host Asiad in 2018, says OCA chief

INCHEON: The Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) executive board on Friday (Sep 19) approved Indonesia as hosts for the 2018 Asian Games which faces a growing battle to find venues because of the cost.

The continent's sports leaders had to find a quick replacement after Vietnam said in April that it could no longer afford to stage the next Asian Games. "Today it has been approved by the EB (executive board) that in 2018 will be the next Asian Games in Jakarta in Indonesia," said council president Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah. "I hope tomorrow also the (OCA) general assembly will approve the final resolution although we have the power because the extraordinary general assembly in Kuwait gave the president the authority to decide and find the replacement to Vietnam," he added.

The Malaysia national football team (Malay: Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Malaysia) nicknamed Harimau Malaya, after the Malayan Tiger, is the national team of Malaysia and is controlled by the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM). Before 1963, the team represented the Federation of Malaya and was known as the Malaya national football team.

The most significant successes of the team has come in the regional AFF Suzuki Cup (formerly known as the 'Tiger Cup'), which Malaysia won in 2010 for the first time in history. They beat Indonesia 4–2 on aggregate in the final to capture the country's first major international football title.

Malaysia had many top players since the creation of the Federation of Malaya until the country became known as Malaysia, such as the legendary Mokhtar Dahari and Sabah's Hassan Sani and James Wong, which led Malaysia into their golden age during the 1970s until the 1980s. Before Mokhtar, The Malaysian King of Football, Datuk Abdul Ghani Minhat was the most famous and respected footballer in the whole Malaya during the 1950s until the 1960s. Malaysia's 15–1 victory over the Philippines in 1962 is currently the record for the highest win for the national team and the record has never been broken since then. In the current generation, Mohd Safee Mohd Sali and Norshahrul Idlan Talaha are considered by Malaysians as their best striker pair.

In the FIFA World Rankings, Malaysia's highest standing was in the first release of the figures, in August 1993, at 75th. Malaysia's main rival on the international stage are their geographical neighbors, Indonesia and Singapore, and past matches between these two teams have produced much drama. Malaysia is one of the most successful teams in Southeast Asia along with Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam, winning the ASEAN Football Championship 2010 and other small competitions while improving at the same time.

Cedera dilanggar mat rempit

BANDARAYA MELAKA - Seorang wartawan akhbar China Press dan anak saudaranya dirempuh sebuah motosikal selepas sekumpulan mat rempit secara tiba-tiba memecut ke arah mereka ketika hendak melintas di Jalan Hang Tuah, di sini, awal pagi semalam.

Mangsa, Tay Soo Keen, 39, atau lebih dikenali sebagai Monica retak siku kiri manakala Emily Tan Xin Lin, 13, cedera di dahi, pipi, tangan dan pinggang setelah terjatuh di atas jalan raya dalam kejadian kira-kira jam 1.30 pagi itu.

Kedua-dua mereka yang keluar makan bersama lima ahli keluarga lain di sebuah restoran berhampiran, dilanggar sebuah motosikal sebelum sempat menyeberangi jalan untuk pulang ke rumah di Jalan Portugis, Kampung Hulu, dekat sini.

Monica berkata, sekumpulan mat rempit itu datang dari arah Jalan Kubu masuk ke semua laluan di Jalan Hang Tuah menyebabkan dia dan anak saudara yang baru beberapa langkah bergerak hadapan khemah Bazar Mega Ramadan ‘tersepit’ di antara kira-kira 10 motosikal berkenaan.

“Ketika hendak menyeberangi jalan, tiba-tiba sekumpulan motosikal datang ke arah kami. Satu motosikal melalui hadapan dan belakang kami sebelum sebuah motosikal lain merempuh di tengah-tengah menyebabkan kami terjatuh dan cedera.

“Bagaimanapun saya tidak sempat untuk melihat nombor pendaftaran motosikal terbabit,” katanya ketika ditemui selepas membuat laporan di Bahagian Trafik Ibu Pejabat Polis Daerah Melaka Tengah, Banda Hilir, di sini, semalam.

Wakil rakyat kena tumbuk

Wakil rakyat ditumbuk ketika sarapan pagi

BAHAU - Ahli Parlimen Rasah, Teoh Kok Seong sedang bersarapan di sebuah kedai makan dekat Taman Satelite, dekat sini, apabila diserang seorang lelaki, semalam.

Kok Seong duduk bersama Adun Bahau, Chew Seh Yong apabila seorang lelaki berusia sekitar 50-an menghampirinya kira-kira jam 10 pagi.

"Lelaki itu tiba-tiba menumbuk dada kiri saya dua kali. Dia kemudian cuba baling kerusi ke arah saya, tapi sempat dihalang," katanya.

Menurutnya, keadaan itu mengejutkan pelanggan-pelanggan.

"Bagaimanapun, semuanya terkawal selepas anggota polis tiba kurang 10 minit (selepas kejadian) dan menahan lelaki itu," katanya.

Kok Leong membuat laporan di Balai Polis Bandar Seri Jempol dan dibawa ke Hospital Jempol untuk pemeriksaan.

Pemimpin DAP itu berkata, dia, tidak akan mengambil tindakan terhadap lelaki tersebut kerana menyifatkan ia sebagai cabaran yang harus dihadapi selaku wakil rakyat.

Menurutnya, beliau mengenali lelaki itu sejak tiga tahun lalu semasa menjadi Adun Bahau.

"Dia pernah datang ke Pejabat Pusat khidmat Dun Bahau semasa itu. Saya tak pasti lelaki itu ada masalah kesihatan atau tidak, tapi dia pernah minta saya buatkan kain rentang kerana dia rasa tidak puas hati terhadap Perdana Menteri (Datuk Seri Najib Razak).

"Saya tolak permintaannya kerana ia tak masuk akal. Sejak itu, dia akan menyerang saya setiap kali berjumpa, tidak kira di mana pun,” katanya.

Australian Navy new ship damaged during sea trial

AKace — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 16:25:39 +0800

A brand new 27,000 tonne Australian Navy ship was damaged during maiden sea trials

A CIVILIAN contract crew made two serious errors during sea trials for the navy’s biggest ever ship, damaging its hull and melting down electrical systems.

The first of two $1.5 billion 27,000-tonne Landing Helicopter Docks (LHDs), to be known as HMAS Canberra, suffered excessive vibration in May during her first “shakedown cruise” between Melbourne and Sydney.

The fault was traced to the brand-new vessel’s two German-built Siemens propulsion pods — or azimuth thrusters — which were out of alignment.

Each thruster, fitted at the stern of the ship, has two propellers mounted on large electric powered pods that can be rotated to any angle, eliminating the need for a rudder. And just like the wheels of a car, poor pod alignment causes vibration.

A crew from Teekay Shipping Corporation was hired by prime contractor BAE Systems and was apparently unaware that the pods must be operated in tandem above eight knots.

They ran them independently in low-speed mode at high speed, causing serious vibration throughout the ship.

“Once the pods were back in the correct mode the vibration ceased,” a project source said.

“It was an operator error and the return journey was much smoother.”

The vibration was generated by cavitation and the bounce produced at the stern rolled across the ship with decks trembling and panels vibrating.

“It was like the shaking floor in an amusement park house of fun,” a source said.

Damage was minimal, but vibration caused paint to be stripped from the ship’s hull directly above the pods.

The crew’s woes continued when Canberra returned to Port Phillip Bay and was forced to drop anchor for four hours after losing steerage following an electrical power failure.

Unfortunately the operators forgot to disconnect the emergency power and when the main power kicked back in the circuit breakers melted.

“There were no major design errors during the trials and both issues were operator errors,” the source said.

“The trial didn’t go as well as hoped, but it was better than expected.”

In addition to the serious errors, excessive corrosion was detected in propeller nuts and a small crack was discovered in the hull of the ship that was caused during its long journey on a barge from the builder in Spain.

The Canberra will be back at sea in July for the next round of trials before she is handed to the Navy later this year.

News of the botched sea trials comes as the government announced it would insert an “experienced shipbuilding management team” into taxpayer-owned shipbuilder ASC in Adelaide to fix the troubled $8.5 billion Air Warfare Destroyer program.

Defence Minister David Johnston and Finance Minister Mathias Cormann said the team would target productivity and production schedules in a bid to get the controversial three-ship alliance project back on track.
