The NST : SPORTCHECK: Games to move outside Klang Valley in 2016
By Fadhli Ishak
THE Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning Games (Sukipt) will for a first time be heading outside the Klang Valley in 2016 but may continue to allow the use of short-term foreign exchange students despite the furore they caused at the competition last week.
Sukipt came to a close at the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) campus in Shah Alam yesterday with a staggering 98 records broken and hosts UiTM taking the overall title for a first time with a haul of 64 gold, 44 silver and 34 bronze medals.
However, the champions use of foreign exchange students, although legitimate, had caused a number of other universities to raise the issue with the organisers and the press.
Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) finished runners up with 53 gold, 31 silver and 35 bronze while Universiti Malaya were third on 16-11-17.
Higher Education Sector sports division secretary Hazally Jali said no decision has been made on the use of foreigners for the next edition and will only be studied in detail at the Games post mortem this week.
He also disclosed that a number of potential hosts for the next edition of the biennial competition have already been identified.
"Sukipt will from now be held in the Klang Valley in alternate editions which means that we will be taking it outside KL for the first time in two years," said Hazally.
"The issue regarding these exchange students is not as simple as it looks and needs to be looked at in detail. There are both positives and negatives that come from their participation.
"With them being part of the Games they raise the level of competition and it gives our athletes the chance to experience competing against foreign opposition.
"These are also the same athletes we will be facing at competitions such as the Asean University Games (AUG) when they return to their own universities.
"This gives us a chance to benchmark ourselves and also their (foreign) capabilities prior to such tournaments."
Hazally added that the overall performance of Malaysian University athletes at Sukipt is a step in the right direction in terms of preparing for Malaysia's title defence at the Palembang AUG in December but made it clear that there is much work to be done if they are to again emerge Asean champions.
Malaysia had won the AUG on foreign soil for a first time in Laos two years ago.
"The number of Games records broken shows that there is a positive improvement in the performance of the athletes but we can never afford to be complacent or content with what we have.
"Our AUG squads will be selected from the athletes that performed well here (Sukipt) and will be further trained and prepared for the Games by sending them to compete at events such as the Malaysia-Indonesia (Sukmalindo) and Malaysia-Thailand (Sukmathai) Games later this year."
As expected, UiTM long jumper Lukman Hakim Ramlan and swimmer Khoo Cai Lin of Taylors University were selected as the sportsman and sportswoman of the Games.
Cai Lin, who had just returned from a three-week injury break prior to Sukipt, was in dominating form in the pool and managed a commendable haul of six gold, three silver and two bronze, while Lukman Hakim's leap of 7.53m not only set a Games record but more importantly qualified him for the Incheon Asian Games later this year.

The NST : SUKIPT: Lai Kwan still the one to beat
By Fadhli Ishak
UNIVERSITI Putra Malaysia's (UPM) Chui Lai Kwan may have become a forgotten figure since she left the national setup under controversial circumstances almost three years ago but she proved she is still a top class talent at the Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning Games (Sukipt) yesterday.
The former Sea Games gold medallist bettered her own meet record of 27.96 seconds en route to clinching the women's 50m freestyle gold in 26.94s at the Darul Ehsan Aquatic Complex yesterday.
She also took silver in the 200m butterfly (2:51.43s) after placing second behind Universiti Teknologi Mara's (UiTM) Indonesia foreign exchange student Kathriana Mella Gustianjani (2:34.41s).
Lai Kwan ended her second and likely final Sukipt outing with one gold, three silver and one bronze.
The 24-year-old, who bagged an astonishing 13 gold medals amidst a weaker field to subsequently be crowned sportswoman of the Games two years ago, said she was nevertheless happy with her performance and stressed that she was still hungry to compete on the international stage.
"The 50m free is my favourite event and is what matters most to me. I did not win as many medals this year but overall it was a decent outing for me," said the 50m freestyle national record holder.
"I am not interested in joining the national team anymore as I am happy training on my own but I still do want to compete for Malaysia.
"I want to do well in future competitions and hopefully achieve the qualifying times for the Asian Games. I hope the national body will be fair and select swimmers, from both within and outside the national squad, on merit."
Lai Kwan had quit the national team after a dispute with the Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia over a leave application in 2011.
Meanwhile, Caroline Chan of Sunway University set a new Games record in the women's 100m backstroke when she won the event in 1:10.93s (old record 1:18.07s, Lai Kwan), while distance specialist Khoo Cai Lin (Taylors University) took the 1,500 freestyle title in 18:55.77s.
The men's events saw Inti International College's Chan Yang better his own record of 24.96s in the 50m freestyle when he clocked 24.14s to defend his title in the event.
UiTM's Gede Siman Sudartawa (Indonesia, exchange student) shaved more than seven seconds of David Hoh's (Taylors) 100m backstroke record of 1:04.84s en route to winning in 56.75s.
Liong Jee Xerc (Kolej Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman) emerged victorious in the 800m freestyle after clocking 10:51.63s and also took the 200m butterfly in a new meet record of 2:21.35s (old record 2:30.53s, Ian Leondy Bell, USM).
UiTM won the men's and women's 4x100m medley relays in 4:03.73s and 5:11.51s respectively.
National shooter Jonathan Wong Guanjie (UPM) proved his pedigree by winning the men's 10m air pistol gold after firing 195.4 in the elimination format final at the Subang Shooting Range.
His combined scores with teammates Jasmi Mohmmad Zin and Liew Tack Fai of 1,674 also gave UPM the team gold.
UPM took two more gold through fencing after Husnul Ariq Bakri and Natasha Ezzra Abu Bakar took the men's sabre and women's foil individual titles respectively.
In the men's karate kumite events, UTM's Karthik Krishnan (Under-55kg), Politeknik Selangor's Deventiren Ananthan (Under-60kg) and UPM's Uriel Yu En French (Under-67kg) all emerged winners in their respective weight classes while the women's category saw Unitar's Nisha Alagasan (Under-55kg) and UPM's Mathiaviani Murugeesan (Under-61kg) come out winners.
With only two days of competition left, hosts UiTM are inching ever closer to the overall title and ended the day as comfortable leaders with 48 gold, 32 silver and 24 bronze. Defending champions UPM are second (37-28-30) while Universiti Malaya are third (13-8-12).

The Star : 13-gold Lai Kwan hopes grant will be upgraded
Saturday November 3, 2012
By LIM TEIK HUAT
KUALA LUMPUR: Swimmer Chui Lai Kwan found her scholarship downgraded after she quit the national team late last year. She is hoping that will change following her extraordinary performance in the National Varsity and Higher Institutions Games (Sukipt).
The 21-year-old looks set to swim away with the Best Sportswoman award, although there is still a week to go before the inaugural Games come to a close, after splashing to a total of 13 gold medals.
Lai Kwan added three more golds to her tally by coming out tops in the 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 200m butterfly on the last day of swimming at National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil.
Lai Kwan, representing Universiti Putra Malaysia, took part in 15 events and had to settle for a second silver in the 4x100m medley relay.
It is still an accomplishment as she won all the 12 individual races she was entered and the icing on the cake was getting the better of former national swimmer Leung Chii Lin in the 50m freestyle final yesterday.
Both are still considered the fastest freestyle swimmers in the country. Lai Kwan won a SEA Games gold medal in Korat in 2007 in the discipline while Chii Lin swam at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
The Sandakan-born swimmer is pursuing a degree in Food, Science and Technology at UPM and hopes she has made a strong case to have her scholarship upgraded.
“I’m no longer in the national team but I went for the World Championships in Shanghai last year as I had qualified for it and was trying to make the London Olympics.
“I also swam in the national age-group and will be competing in the Asean University Games in Laos next month.
“I’ve never taken part in so many events and to win 13 gold medals here is something extraordinary.
“People may think it’s easy to win every race but it isn’t. It’s tiring as I swam a total of eight races every day – the heats in the morning and the finals in the evening,” said Lai Kwan.

The NST : SPORTCHECK: Lai Kwan the undisputed queen
03 November 2012
UNIVERSITI Putra Malaysia's (UPM) Chui Lai Kwan capped a stellar outing at the inaugural Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning Games (SUKIPT) with another three gold and a silver on the final day of swimming to bring her personal haul to a remarkable 13 gold and two silver medals.
Lai Kwan emerged victorious in the women's 50m freestyle, 100m backstroke and 200m butterfly and later, together with teammates Woo Yi Wen, Tan Mei May and Yeo Pei Ling, helped UPM clinch silver in the 4x100m medley relay at the National Aquatic Complex in Bukit Jalil.
The 21-year-old, who left the national set-up last year after a misunderstanding with the Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia, said her performance came as a surprise considering her recent return to the sport after taking a two-month break.
"This is the first time I have entered so many events in one competition (15 events) and to win 13 of them is just amazing for me," said Lai Kwan, who trains at the Darul Ehsan Aquatic Complex in Shah Alam.
"To do this well is certainly a proud moment for me especially as I am representing not only myself but also my university."
Lai Kwan, who is coached by former national swimmer Marilyn Chua, however, said there is work to be done if she is to be as equally successful at the Laos Asean University Games (AUG) next month.
Lai Kwan, who won six gold medals at the Thailand AUG in 2010, will be competing in at least seven events in Laos.
As expected, UPM emerged overall swimming champions with 15 gold, four silver and one bronze. Second were Universiti Sains Malaya (USM) with seven gold, eight silver and 10 bronze while Universiti Malaya (UM) took six gold, eight silver and three bronze for third place.
In bowling, UiTM clinched the only gold medal on offer yesterday when Nur Umirah Abdul Radzuan, Fatin Azmira Khairul Faizi Nursyamimi Supardi and Nazrinnah Mohd Kamil emerged the winners of the women's team at the Sunway Megalanes bowling centre.
UiTM downed a total 5,016 pinfalls ahead of Segi University (Syaidatul Afifah Badrul Hamidi, Nurul Nadia Zainuddin and Siti Safiyah Amirah Abdul Rahman) who took silver on 4,802.
Bronze went to UPM's Tengku Emanina Laily Tengku Zahri, Liyana Putri Mohd Suhaimi, Tunku Haifaa Tunku Osman and Nur Syakirah Yeoh (4,721).

The Star : Synchronised swimmer Zyanne proves she is equally adept in swimming
Friday November 2, 2012
By LIM TEIK HUAT
KUALA LUMPUR: Agility and the ability to hold her breath underwater come naturally to national synchronised swimmer Zyanne Lee Zhien Huey.
That’s what she has been trained to do since her early teens.
But Zyanne showed yesterday that she is equally adept in swimming as well when she bagged one gold and one silver on the penultimate day of the swimming competition of the National Higher Education and Institution Games (Sukipt) at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil.
Zyanne, a five-gold medallist at the Indonesia SEA Games, added to her silver medal collection after finishing second behind former national swimmer Chui Lai Kwan in the women’s 400m freestyle.
Zyanne, who claimed a silver in the 800m freestyle on Tuesday, achieved her golden moment when she swam the second leg of the 4x100m freestyle relay for Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) later in the day.
“That was the last event for me and I am happy it turned out to be a gold medal. I do not have any more races as I only entered for three events,” said Zyanne, who is in the midst of preparing for the Asian Championships in Dubai later this month.
Zyanne will partner younger sister Zylanne Lee Yhing Huey, 20, while Katrina Ann Hadi, 22, is listed as the reserve for the synchro duet of the Asian meet from Nov 15.
Zyanne admitted that competitive swimming is not her cup of tea compared to synchronised swimming.
“I was never active in swimming but the training I go through as a synchronised swimmer is enough for me to swim in competitions like this.
“I didn’t train much for this competition,” said Zyanne, who also won three gold medals at the SEA Aquatic Championships in Singapore in June.
She is not the only synchronised swimmer around. Two of her UPM team-mates – Tan May Mei and Yeo Pei Ling – and Mandy Yeap of Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) were also in the national team at one time.
Meanwhile, Lai Kwan continued to be unstoppable in the pool, raking in four more gold medals to take her tally to 10 so far.
The Sandakan-born swimmer came out tops in the 400m freestyle, 100m butterfly and 50m backstroke as well as being part of the winning 4x100m freestyle relay quartet yesterday.

The Star : Ex-national swimmer Chii Lin shows her mettle with four-gold display
Thursday November 1, 2012
By LIM TEIK HUAT
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Olympic swimmer Leung Chii Lin does not regret her decision to step away from the national team earlier this year, having achieved everything she set out for.
The 21-year-old stamped her mark as a junior with a clean sweep of 12 gold medals when she made her first appearance at the MSSM (national schools) meet years ago before going on to establish herself as one of the country’s top woman swimmers.
Sabah-born Chii Lin said that getting to swim at the Beijing Olympics in 2008 was her ultimate goal.
“As a swimmer, you want to be able to say you swam at the Olympics before and I think that was the most I could aim for realistically ... the highlight of my career.
“I’ve achieved everything else, to swim at the World Championships (Rome in 2009); SEA Games (Korat in 2007, Laos in 2009 and Palembang in 2011); Commonwealth Games (New Delhi in 2010); and Asian Games (in Guangzhou in 2010).
“And I never neglected my studies, not even when I was still swimming ... and that hasn’t changed.
“I do not regret quitting the national team at all,” said Chii Lin, who finished 48th out of a field of 90 when she swam the 50m freestyle at the Beijing Olympics.
Chii Lin showed that she is still a swimmer to be reckoned when she contributed two gold medals to her alma mater at the National Higher Education and Institution Games (Sukipt) the at National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
Chii Lin, who is a second year Sports Science student at Universiti Malaya, won gold in the women’s 50m breaststroke and the 4x200m freestyle relay team.
She also claimed a silver in the 50m butterfly final behind fellow Sabahan Chui Lai Kwan.
Chii Lin has collected four gold medals so far, having triumphed in the 100m freestyle and 100m breaststroke on Tuesday.
Former national swimmer Lai Kwan continued to make a big splash by romping to three more gold medals, bringing her tally to six after two days of competition.
Lai Kwan, swimming for Universiti Putra Malaysia, won the 200m freestyle, 200m individual medley and 50m butterfly.

ALL CLASS: She's back and has lost none of her grit en route to snatching three gold medals
FORMER national swimmer Chui Lai Kwan showed her pedigree by sweeping three gold medals on the first day of the swimming competition at the inaugural Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning Games (SUKIPT) yesterday.
Lai Kwan, who recently returned to the sport after taking a two-month break, showed no sign of slowing down as she dominated the women's 200m backstroke, 400m individual medley and 800m freestyle at the National Aquatics Complex, Bukit Jalil.
The 21-year-old Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) student said she was delighted with her performances, but felt she still has more to offer at the championships.
"Considering that I do not usually swim these distances and have only quite recently returned to training, to win here today (yesterday) in all my events is a very good result," said Lai Kwan, who left the national set-up last year after a misunderstanding with the Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia.
"I feel I can swim faster and will look to do better in my other events, especially the shorter distances, as I have another nine events to go," she added.
The food science and technology undergraduate, who amassed an impressive six gold medals at the 2010 Thailand Asean University Games (AUG), said that she is also using the Games as preparation for the upcoming Laos AUG in December.
"I managed to win four gold medals in my first AUG in Kuala Lumpur (2008) and improved on that in Thailand," said Lai Kwan.
"This (Laos) will be my third time competing at the AUG and I definitely hope to better my personal achievements at the Games again.
"Competition will be tough so I am looking to prepare for the event as well as I can."
Another 10 gold medals will be up for grabs today with four more gold set to be offered in the taekwondo event which will be held at the Nilai Indoor Stadium, Negri Sembilan.

The Star : Lai Kwan eyes comeback after three-gold show
Wednesday October 31, 2012
By LIM TEIK HUAT
KUALA LUMPUR: Chui Lai Kwan (pic), once the region’s fastest freestyle swimmer, wants to make a comeback for Malaysia in the Myanmar SEA Games next year – provided she can juggle her time between studies and training.
Lai Kwan, the 50m freestyle gold medallist at the 2007 SEA Games in Korat, Thailand, splashed her way to three gold medals for Universiti Putra Malaysia on the opening day of the National Higher Education and Institution Games (SUKIPT) at the National Aquatic Centre in Bukit Jalil yesterday.
The 21-year-old left the national team last year.
But now that she’s back in the thick of the action, it has whetted her appetite to don national colours again.
“I would love to go for my fifth SEA Games next year ... but I feel that my chances of coming back is 50-50 for now.
“I have two more years to go and next year is an important stage of my studies in the field of Food, Science and Technology at UPM.
“I have to undergo practical training for six months from next February. But, if the time permits and I can handle both things, I will go for it,” said Lai Kwan, who reached the final of the 100m freestyle at the New Delhi Commonwealth Games and Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010.
As expected, Lai Kwan won comfortably in the women’s 200m backstroke, 400m individual medley and 800m freestyle.
She still has a chance to claim nine more golds for her contingent in the remaining three days.
The Sabah-born Lai Kwan, who still holds the national records for the 50m and 100m freestyle and 100m backstroke, made her SEA Games debut in Vietnam in 2003 with a bronze and has never failed to deliver a medal each time.
Lai Kwan, however, is not the only former national swimmer in action as 2008 Beijing Olympian Leung Chii Lin is also swimming for University Malaya (UM).
Chii Lin won two gold medals in the 100m breaststroke and 100m freestyle yesterday.

The Star Metro : Education reward for sportsmen

Ready for gold: Dr Saharudin with the mascot and challenge trophy for SUKIPT.
|
GOLD medal winners at the Higher Learning Institution Games (SUKIPT), starting in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, will have the privilege of applying for scholarships from the Higher Education Ministry.
Higher Education Ministry sports division secretary Dr Saharudin Ismail said 101 contingents would be taking part in the inaugural games.
“The games are a platform for students from higher learning institutions to display their talents in sports.
“We have also invited private learning institutions to be part of the games.
“It is an opportunity for them to play an active role in the games. The gold medallists will be considered for scholarships by the ministry.
“The games can be considered as a gathering of about 15,000 people including sportsmen, sportswomen, officials and volunteers,’’ said Dr Saharudin.
SUKIPT involves 15 sports — badminton, netball, volleyball, archery, shooting, swimming, taekwondo, bowling, tennis, rugby 7s, athletics, sepak takraw, beach volleyball, chess and karate.
Seven other championships organised by the Higher Education Ministry will also be considered in the determination of the overall champions.
The seven are golf, table tennis, silat, three-on-three basketball, futsal, boat race and football.
Except for football, the winners of the other six sports have been decided. The final of the football competition will be held at the UiTM Sports Complex in Shah Alam on Nov 6.
UiTM are currently leading the medal tally with 17 gold, three silver and 10 bronze medals.
However, Dr Saharudin believes the situation could change when the SUKIPT starts.
“A total 165 gold medals are at stake in the SUKIPT. The bulk of them are in swimming and athletics.
“It will be an exciting competition. All the contingents have been preparing well for the games,’’ said Saharudin.
