CYG 2011 : Cultural day and visit to Rushen Primary School

Today 12th September is the Cultural Day of the 4th Commonwealth Youth Games at Castletown, the historical capital of the Isle of Man which is to the South-west of Douglas. We were transported there by a traditional stream train of the Isle of Man Steam Railway. Dating from 1874, the Isle of Man Stream Railway is the Island’s oldest Victorian rail system.

The Cultural Day is an interactive day which included activities for competitors to participate. It would be held at Castle Rushen, one of the best preserved castles in th British Isle. Due to the cold and windy conditions, the Cultural program was shortened and it was held just within the Castle Rushen.

After lunch, we proceeded to Rushen Primary School. This school is the adopted school of Malaysia of the CYG “Adopt a Nation” program, and the students have been studying all about Malaysia for the last three years.

We were met by Headteacher, Mr Tom Thomson, his staff and pupils of the school. There was an exhibition that the students had prepared on the history, culture and economy of Malaysia. Students who prepared the various exhibits were on hand to explain on the exhibits.

HRH Tunku Imran, Tan Sri Dr Jegathesan were also present. We were shown all the exhibits that have been put up by the pupils and we then assembled in the school hall with all the 250 pupils.

Tunku Imran and Tan Sri Dr Jegathesan presented souvenirs to school, while Encik Rosmaizam received a book on the Isle of Man from the Headteacher.

The closing ceremony will be held at the Villa Marina, Douglas at the evening, where a short formal ceremony will be held to close and also to have a official handing ceremony to Samoa, the host of the 5th Commonwealth Youth Games in 2015.

The athletes, officials and volunteers will then adjourned to the Villa Marina Royal Hall for a party and we also witness a fireworks display.

Asian Beach Games, Moscat Oman: Sailing update

Salam sejahtera YBhg Dato’, Tuan-tuan dan Puan-puan yang dihormati,
 
Laporan Hari Keempat  Kejohanan - 12 Dis 10
 
Angin: 4-6 knot
 
Laser Radial
Race 7 - Hari ini pelayar mengharungi perlumbaan yang penuh dramatic, dimana ketika Shafiq mendahului didepan, dia dikenakan penalty Rule 42 dalam 2nd beat.  Dengan hukuman tersebut Shafiq jatuh di tangga ke lapan.  Dengan berbekalkan semangat yang ada, beliau berjaya mengejar seorang demi seorang sehingga menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat ke 5. Harisfabillah pula pada suatu ketika  sedang mendahului dan dikawal oleh  pelayar Thailand dan Oman, beliau cuba melepaskan diri dan berjaya menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat ke 3.
Race 8- Dalam perlumbaan ini, pelayar Thailand iaitu juara Sukan Asia telah dikenakan penalty Rule 42 dan terus terkeluar dari perlumbaan siri 8 kerana sebelum ini beliau pernah dikenakan penalty yang sama.  Ini membolehkan peluang untuk Shafiq yang masih berkedudukan emas semakin selesa.  Pesaing utamanya seorang lagi pelayar Thailand kini berkongsi mata dengan Shafiq di kedudukan pertama dan diikuti pelayar Pakistan dengan 3 mata dibelakang.  Bagi Harisfabillah pula, beliau perlu menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat ke 2 atau ke 3 dengan berbaki 2 lagi perlumbaan esok untuk membolehkannya dikedudukan pingat di mana dia menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat ke 11.
 
Lain-lain acara kurang menjadi.  Ini kerana seperti laporan saya sebelum ini, hanya acara Laser yang mempunyai sumber yang cukup iaitu peralatan dan jurulatih.  Laporan teknikal akan dilaporkan oleh jurulatih. Esok jam 1300 akan diadakan 2 lagi perlumbaan.  Sekian terima kasih.
 
Note: Perlumbaan ke 9 dibatalka kerana tiada angin.
