Bukan rezeki saya - Aminuddin

Oleh MUSTAPA LAKAWA

PENGURUS Besar Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM), Aminuddin Nasir mahu semua pihak menerima secara positif peletakan jawatannya dalam badan sukan olahraga negara itu.

Sambil menyifatkan ia sebagai keputusan terbaik demi masa depan sukan tersebut, Aminuddin bagaimanapun enggan menyalahkan mana-mana pihak di sebalik keputusan mengejut yang dibuatnya itu.

"Dalam sukan, apa-apa boleh berlaku dan mungkin rezeki saya tiada di sini (KOAM)," jelas Aminuddin kepada Kosmo! semalam.

"Secara jujurnya, biarlah saya tinggalkan kesatuan ini dengan cara baik tanpa mahu menimbulkan sebarang masalah kepada pihak lain.

"Mungkin juga dengan keputusan ini, pertelagahan yang sering berlaku dalam KOAM akan menjadi semakin kurang."

Aminuddin dilantik sebagai Pengurus Besar KOAM bagi menggantikan Lt. Kol (B) Hamid Barkat pada Januari 2007.

Menurutnya lagi, surat peletakan jawatan telah dihantar kepada Presiden KOAM, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim pada 17 November lalu.

Begitupun Aminuddin enggan mengulas keputusannya itu walaupun wujud laporan yang mengaitkan ia berpunca daripada isu Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Angkatan Tentera (POAAT).

"Saya tidak mahu menyalahkan mana-mana pihak dan biarlah keputusan ini dipandang dari sudut positif.

"Saya tidak mahu bermasam muka dengan sesetengah pihak hanya kerana isu ini kerana dunia sukan kita cukup kecil dan bila-bila masa kita boleh berjumpa.

"Namun, saya boleh katakan bahawa hati saya cukup dekat dengan masalah-masalah atlet kerana saya juga adalah bekas atlet.

"Jadi, jika timbul sebarang masalah, saya begitu terasa dan mungkin juga kerana saya pernah melalui perkara yang sama," jelas Aminuddin yang juga bekas atlet lumba basikal negara.

"Apa pun, saya tetap terima semua situasi ini sebagai asam garam dalam dunia sukan dan saya boleh katakan bahawa rezeki saya sudah tiada di sini."

Sementara itu, Aminuddin juga berharap penggantinya selepas ini mampu menjalankan tugas dengan baik demi memajukan sukan olahraga negara.

"Posisi ini (pengurus besar) cukup bagus kerana kita akan berhubung terus dengan semua pihak termasuk atlet dan pihak pengurusan. Apa yang penting individu terbabit perlu bijak menyesuaikan diri dengan situasi dalam KOAM," tambahnya.

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. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. 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...
