Rajagobal not satisfied with team's performance Posted: 13 Jul 2011 11:24 PM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian football coach K.Rajagobal wants his team to get over their 0-4 defeat to Arsenal in a friendly last night to be ready for their meeting with Singapore in the second round World Cup 2014 qualifying match on July 23. Although he accepted the result, Rajagobal was unhappy about the Malaysians' "bland" style of play and their nervousness. "Arsenal are a team on a different level, and I accept the defeat, but I am not satisfied with the way we played. Our players seem nervous," he told a press conference after the match. "They should scrap this tendency of being nervous when facing well-known players if they are to perform better in our next international friendly (against Liverpool on Saturday)," Rajagobal said. Arsenal's goals were scored by Aaron Ramsey, Theo Walcott, Carlos Vela and Thomas Rosicky. "I will meet the players and inspire them to do better next time. I hope we can learn from the Arsenal match," he said. Asked on his decision to select third goalkeeper Mohd Nasril Mat Nourdin for the match, Rajagobal said it was to give him experience so that he would be ready to step in if the other two custodians were injured in future. "I rarely give him the chance to play, so this was a chance for him to show his best moves," the Malaysian coach said. Mohd Nasril was replaced by first goalie Khairul Fahmi Che Mat in the second half. Meanwhile, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Malaysia showed character in playing a good and fair game. Despite the defeat, he believed that the Malaysian team can improve their performance by playing in more international matches. "Although they miss chances, I think Malaysian team were motivated and they were well organised. They can improve and were already impressing me," he said. -- BERNAMA Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.

RM70m for phase 2 of Sibu flood mitigation project Posted: 13 Jul 2011 11:00 PM PDT SIBU: A sum of RM70 million has been allocated under the Tenth Malaysia Plan for the second phase of the Sibu flood mitigation project. Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Douglas Uggah said an appointed consultant was currently studying its design and components. "The tender is expected to be called this September," he told a news conference after attending a briefing on the work progress of the first phase, here, today. He said among its main components was raising the level of several more roads to act as water levees and the construction of two more flood-water pumping stations. On the first phase work, Uggah said it was now 67.8 per cent done with only a 0.27 per cent delay due to problems in shifting electricity and telephone line poles belonging to Telekom Malaysia and Sarawak Energy Berhad. He said the first phase was expected to be completed as scheduled in early February next year. On plans to dredge Rajang River at its most critical bottlenecks because of sendimentation, he said the Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) was still studying the matter. "The DID is going to implement the first plan costing RM2 million at Pulau Kerto and it is still coming up with the design. "It has appointed a consortium comprising Dwimula Bina Sdn Bhd, Hock Seng Lee Bhd and Pembinaan Nasional Sdn Bhd for this," he said, adding that the tender was expected to be called by the middle of this month. He also said that RM3 million had been allocated to build flood-control gates and improve the drainage system in the Sungai Bidut areas to help vegetable farmers overcome the seasonal floods due to the king tide coupled with heavy rainfall in the upper reaches of Rajang River. "All these indicate that the Barisan Nasional government is committed to solving or at least minimising the flood problems faced by the people. "We are doing what we can according to our capacity and not because we are motivated by any state or general election," he said.-- BERNAMA Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by USA Best Price.
