<b>Sarawak</b> sweep Under 16 titles - The Borneo Post Online

Posted: 15 Dec 2013 03:11 PM PST

KUCHING: Sarawak stamped their domination in the national Under-16 volleyball championship in Taiping, Perak last Saturday when they won both the boy's and girl's titles.

In the boy's final, defending champions Sarawak edged Selangor 3-2 to make a successful defence of their crown.

They came back from one set down 25-27 to level the score 1-1 with Selangor by winning the second set 25-15.

However, Selangor took the next set 25-23 to regain the lead before Sarawak struck back 25-23 for a 2-2 draw.  In the rubber set, Sarawak's switch in strategy and game play worked as they went on to beat Selangor 17-15 for a hard-earned victory.

Earlier, the Sarawak girls, also defending champions, had an easier game in the final. They beat Selangor 25-16 in the first set but lost 17-25 in the second.

But the girls recovered strongly to win the third and fourth sets 25-10 and 25-17 for a 3-1 victory.

Apart from winning both titles, Sarawak also won the Most Valuable Player (boys and girls), Best Spiker (boys and girls), Best Coach (boys and girls), Best Blocker (boys) and Best Libero (girls).

These latest accolades capped an excellent year for Sarawak Volleyball Association.

Sarawak had also captured the Under-14 boy's and girl's crowns in Selangor last month, and won the gold and bronze medals in the National Open championship in Johor earlier this year.

In Sukma XVII in Kuala Lumpur this year, Sarawak also brought back the women's team gold and men's silver.

RM294 million allocated for Sabah, <b>Sarawak</b> oil palm smallholders <b>...</b>

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 09:57 AM PST

KOTA KINABALU: The Ministry of Plantation Industries and Commodities (MPIC) has allocated RM294 million for smallholders in Sabah and Sarawak for 2014 to replant and plant new oil palms involving 35,000 hectares of land under the government's National Key Economic Area (NKEA).

Its minister, Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah Embas, said 5,000 hectares would be in Sabah while another 30,000 hectares would be in Sarawak.

"The government will continue its effort to encourage more smallholders to replant and plant new oil palms.

Under this programme, MPIC will provide assistance of RM9, 000 per hectare to cover costs, seedlings, clearing, and also for fertilizers.

"We are also looking at the other challenges in the oil palm industry, such as issues in fertilizers, mills and also the dependence on foreign workers," he said to reporters after launching the Malaysian Palm Oil Board (MPOB) Complex at Kota Kinabalu Industrial Park (KKIP), yesterday.

With the setting up of the complex, Uggah said the ministry was hoping it would help the industry move towards good agriculture practice.

Realising the importance of competitive human capital in order to carry the national transformation programme, he said the ministry had also set up Institute of Malaysian Plantation and Commodities (Impac) in 2010.

The institute is responsible in implementing courses under the ministry.

During the event, a total of 230 Impac graduates from Sabah received their diplomas and certificates after successfully graduating from various programmes under Impac.

"MPOB has built Pusat Latihan Industri Sawit (Plasma) Lahad Datu at a cost of RM5 million, and a hostel costing RM9 million. Another Plasma has been set up in Keratong Pahang, with a total cost of RM35,030,351.

"Since 2000, MPOB has trained 15,000, while about 105 companies have benefited from the programmes organized by MPOB," he added.

Earlier in his speech, Uggah said the industry had contributed RM73.3 billion to Malaysia's export earnings from the 5.08 million hectares of oil palm plantations.

Sabah, he said had the largest plantation in Malaysia with 1.46 hectares, where 12.8 per cent of the total plantations were being cultivated by smallholders.

The newly launched MPOB Complex, costing RM4.6 million, would be an information centre for industry players seeking more information or the latest developments in the industry, he said.

Also present at the event yesterday were MPOB chairman Datuk Wan Mohammad Khair-il Anuar Wan Ahmad, Minister of Community Development and Consumer Affairs Datuk Jainab Ahmad Ayid, Deputy Minister of MPIC Datuk Noriah Kasnon, Assistant Infrastructure Development Minister Datuk Bolkiah Ismail and director general of MPOB Datuk Choo Yuen May.

200 paddlers vie for state c&#39;ship - The Borneo Post Online

Posted: 16 Dec 2013 09:23 AM PST

SIBU: Sporting bodies, being mostly voluntary organizations, face many challenges such as funding.

This point was highlighted by Sibu Table Tennis Association president Vincent Lau Lee Ming when he officiated at the opening ceremony of the 53rd Sarawak gree Table Tennis Championship at Sibu Table Tennis Stadium last Sunday.

"In particular, we do not receive grants from the government. We depend on public donation to fund our activities. We need dedicated people to lead the organization," he explained.

The championship, which will end on Dec 19, has attracted 200 paddlers from Kuching, Miri, Sibu, Bintulu, Sarikei, Samarahan and Mukah. Lau lamented there was no public facility in Sibu comparable to the Sibu Table Tennis Stadium which was been built through private initiative and fund solicited from the public.

"Time passes very fast, it has been quite a few years now since the authority announced the construction of an indoor stadium for Sibu. We heard the fund has been made available and the site has been identified.

We do hope that construction of the much needed indoor stadium will commence very soon, without further delay," he stated.

Lau also spoke on the key attributes and attitude required for table tennis players to succeed.

"Very often we find players once they have a little bit of achievement they started to feel proud and indiscipline which is very sad.

"It is this kind of attitude that hindered the progress and make it very difficult to raise our standard," he added.

Meanwhile, Lau thanked Sarawak Table Tennis Association for entrusting the responsibility of organizing this year's championship to Sibu Table Tennis Association.

He also expressed his gratitude to the organizing committee headed by Dr Clement Chen for the hard work put in to prepare and organise this state-wide event.

"Though in sport and tournaments like this we always say `Friendships First', I still hope that everyone play hard and give your best to win the championships title," Lau advised.

President of Sarawak Table Tennis Association Michael Teo Kim Huat was among those present.
