LANGKAWI, June 29 (Bernama) -- The return of experienced trio Bibiana Ng Pie Chin, Siti Nur Masitah Mohd Badrin and Joseline Cheah to the national shooting squad after a two-year suspension by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF), has boosted the country medal hopes at the Laos Sea Games.
National shooting coach Mohd Hashim Desa hopes the presence of the three shooters would help the country achieve what the national squad had achieved in the past.
Bibiana Ng, Joseline Cheah and Siti who served a two-year suspension after testing positive for propranolol during the President Ally T. H. Ong Championships, joined the national squad in training after their suspension ended in April.
The trio are among 14 national elite shooters undergoing their first phase of training at the Langkawi International Shooting Range of Malaysia (Lisram) since June 18, under coaches Mohd Hashim and Saidov Isroil from Belarus.
The National Shooting Association of Malaysia (NSAM) are hoping that Malaysian shooters who won three gold medals at the 2007 SEA Games in Korat, Thailand, would be able to increase that tally in Laos, come December.
Bibiana, winner of the 25m pistol gold at the Manila SEA Games in 2005 but who had to miss the Korat Games due to suspension just like Siti and Joseline Cheah, is expected to be reinstated as the favourite for the event in Laos.

The 12th edition of the Rainforest World Music Festival will go on as scheduled, from July 10 to 12.
Stringent precautionary measures, including free screening for music fans and artists, will be taken to prevent any spread of the Influenza A (H1N1) during the event.
Sarawak Tourism Board (STB) chief executive officer Gracie Geikie said the board was working closely with the health ministry and state health department to comply with their directives and recommendations.
While there was speculation the event would be cancelled due to the H1N1, also known as swine flu, she told a press conference Monday that the festival would nevertheless, go on as scheduled.
The event will be staged at the foothill of the legendary Mount Santubong and feature four Malaysian groups and 13 foreign groups from among others, USA, France, New Zealand and Poland.
Geikie is optimistic that ticket sales for the festival could exceed twenty four thousand despite fears of the H1N1 and global economic slowdown.

The government is studying the best method to distribute diesel and petrol subsidies to fishermen to ensure that the facility reaches the target group, Agriculture and Agro-based Industry Minister Datuk Noh Omar said today.
He said it was also to reduce cases of irregularities by irresponsible people.
He added the budget allocated to the ministry for subsidies, incentives and aid is huge. As such, he wanted to ensure that every cent allocated by the government really benefits the people.
He told reporters after a dialogue with members of the Semporna, Lahad Datu, Kunak and Tawau fishermen's associations, in Semporna.
Noh said some fishermen had complained that the cost of the fuel for them to get to petrol kiosks to collect the subsidy was higher than the benefit they derived from the subsidy.
This, he said, was due to the location of the petrol kiosks far from the homes of the fishermen.
As such, the study would consider the possibility of locating the subsidy fuel kiosks at jetties, including the fish-landing jetties.
Noh said the ministry would also decide whether to pay the catch incentive of 10 cents per kilogram on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.

Malaysia's production of aquaculture products is expected to reach 508 thousand metric tonnes or worth 6.9 billion ringgit by end of next year, Fisheries Department Director-General Datuk Junaidi Che Ayub said.
He said the products would come from 49 aquaculture industrial zones, covering 28 thousand hectares, in the country.
The areas, he said, included the fish in cage rearing projects at Temenggor Lake, Banding, Perak, and in Langkawi, Kedah.

A proposal to turn the Langkawi International Shooting Range Malaysia (Lisram) into a tourist destination may soon become a reality after a conceptual paper was prepared and submitted to the Home Ministry.
Lisram manager Mohd Nor Arshad said the proposal to open the range to tourists who are keen to take part in shooting activities and upgrade the range would be submitted to the ministry soon.
He said that currently, Lisram's calendar is full with various activities, especially training and competitions organised by various enforcement agencies.
Mohd Nor told Bernama in response to former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's suggestion in his blog that Lisram be turned into a tourist spot.
Dr Mahathir had said that among the 2.3 million tourists to Langkawi annually, many among them might be interested in including shooting activities as part of their itinerary during the visit.
Mohd Nor said among enforcement agencies that regularly used Lisram were the Royal Malaysian Police, Royal Malaysian Navy, Customs Department and Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.
National shooting coach Hashim Desa who is currently with the national squad that is undergoing training at Lisram as preparations for the Laos SEA Games in December and 2010 Commonwealth Games in New Delhi said Dr Mahathir's suggestion can boost tourism in the Island.
A number of foreign teams like Austria, had used Lisram for their training before the Beijing Olympic Games in China last year, he said.
Meanwhile, Langkawi Amateur Shooting Association president Datuk Mansor Ismail suggested that procedures and regulations for using Lisram should be eased to encourage more tourists to the range.
Lisram, built at a cost of RM80 million in 1997 over a 202 hectare site, was part of venues built for the 1998 Commonwealth Games hosted by Malaysia, has state-of-the-art equipment and electronic scoring system and reputed to be the best shooting range in South East Asia.
Lisram has been regularly used by the national shooters to prepare for major competitions like SEA, Asian, Commonwealth and Olympic Games.
It has facilities for Pistol, Rifle and Full Bore Rifle.

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin wants civil servants to focus on efforts to resolve economic issues prevailing in the country so that Malaysia could get out of the economic recession.
He said emphasis should be given to draw up a suitable time line, identify priorities, make decisions and use the time available in the best manner because 'time is gold'.
He said this at the monthly assembly of the Prime Minister's Department, in Putrajaya today.
He also emphasised on the importance of making quick and accurate decisions because the people were waiting to see the outcome of projects implemented by the government.
Muhyiddin also reminded that the slogan 'People First' from the concept '1Malaysia: People First, Performance Now" by the prime minister was not mere rhetoric, but what was being emphasised was that the government chosen by the people should be able to carry out the responsibilities entrusted in the best manner possible.
Under the bleak economic situation due to the global recession, the government must tackle the economy in the best manner possible so that the people would not feel depressed, neglected or excluded from the efforts taken to bring development to the country.
