Universiti berorientasikan sukan ditambah – Mustapa

PUTRAJAYA 30 Julai – Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi akan menambah jumlah universiti awam yang menawarkan kursus pengajian sukan bagi menampung pertambahan jumlah pelajar cemerlang dari sekolah sukan pada masa depan.

Menterinya, Datuk Mustapa Mohamed berkata, langkah tersebut perlu supaya pelajar terbabit bukan sahaja dapat menyambung pengajian mereka di peringkat universiti tetapi juga mampu meneruskan kecemerlangan dalam sukan.

Beliau berkata, ia juga sejajar dengan usaha Kementerian Pelajaran membina tiga sekolah sukan baru yang dijangka beroperasi tahun depan.

‘‘Setakat ini, kita mempunyai tiga universiti awam yang menawarkan kursus pengajian sukan iaitu Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) dan Universiti Perguruan Sultan Idris (UPSI).

‘‘Ketiga-tiga universiti awam itu masih berupaya untuk menampung jumlah kemasukan pelajar cemerlang dari sekolah sukan sedia ada iaitu Sekolah Sukan Bukit Jalil (Kuala Lumpur) dan Sekolah Sukan Bandar Penawar (Johor),” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas Majlis Penyerahan Jalur Gemilang kepada kontinjen Malaysia ke Sukan Universiti Dunia ke-24 (Universiade) di Bangkok, Thailand dan Bendera Majlis Sukan Universiti Malaysia (Masum) ke Sukan Institusi Pendidikan Malaysia (Sipma) di Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) di sini, hari ini.

Ex-coach's jail sentence cut to a year

PUTRAJAYA: The Court of Appeal yesterday sentenced former athletics coach C. Ramanathan to 12 months' jail for molesting two junior athletes 19 years ago. A three-man bench led by Datuk Mohd Hishamudin Mohd Yunus unanimously dismissed Ramanathan's appeal against conviction, but varied the jail sentence of four years to a year, which was to run concurrently. Following yesterday's ruling, Ramanathan, 75, a former teacher, walked out a free man as he had served 10 months in Kajang Prison. Convicts get one-third remission for good behaviour while in prison. However, he will lose his pension. Hishamudin, who sat with Datuk Abdul Wahab Patail and Datuk Linton Albert, said the court found no merit to overturn the conviction. "However, in reducing the sentence, we considered Ramanathan's age and the long years the appeal has taken." Deputy public prosecutor Awang Armadajaya Awang Mahmud submitted that then High Court judge Tan Sri Abdull Hamid E...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren.

Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K. Rajagobal was let off the hook by the Football Association of Malaysia's (FAM) Disciplinary Committee after finding no evidence that he had violated FAM's Article 88, as claimed. FAM Disciplinary Committee chairman Datuk Taufik Abdul Razak said the committee had decided not to charge Rajagobal after carefully analysing the video of the post-match press conference by the 56-year-old coach. "After listening to the recording of the post-match press conference, we decided to drop the charge against Rajagopal as he did not make such a statement. "Maybe his (Rajagobal) assessment and comments of the match was misconstrued by the media. There was no mention of the FAM policy throughout his comments," said Taufik after emerging from a three-hour Disciplinary Committee meeting at Wisma FAM in Kelana Jaya, here, Wednesday. Rajagobal who does not mince his words when asked to com...
