Ada 'gangguan' pada janji MSN

Tujuh jurulatih badminton masih belum tandatangani sambungan kontrak

ADA 'gangguan' menjelma di sebalik janji Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) tidak memotong peruntukan kepada tiga jenis sukan - badminton, memanah dan berbasikal - yang dikenal pasti mampu mencipta gemilang pada Sukan Olimpik 2012 nanti.

Ianya timbul menerusi perkhabaran tujuh jurulatih badminton negara masih belum menandatangani sambungan kontrak ketika seorang lagi belum menerima tawaran kontrak baru.

Hanya dua jurulatih - Rosman Razak dan Jeremy Gan - sudahpun menandatangani kontrak, itupun selepas masing-masing menerima kenaikan gaji ekoran pertambahan tanggungjawab yang diberikan.

Ia mewujudkan kemungkinan tambahan bahawa lapan jurulatih itu mungkin terlewat menerima bayaran gaji untuk tugas dilaksanakan bulan ini - sehingga isu kontrak mereka diselesaikan.

Daripada kelompok belum menyatakan persetujuan itu, majoritinya terbabit dalam penstrukturan semula kejurulatihan dilaksanakan MSN dan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) - dengan tugas, matlamat dan tanggungjawab tambahan diberikan.

Tetapi tawaran sambungan kontrak tetap menyatakan jumlah imbuhan bulanan sama - biarpun sumbangan beberapa jurulatih juga diperakui menerusi peningkatan pemain-pemain di bawah kendalian masing-masing.

BAM, dalam mesyuarat bersama MSN sebelum ini, sudah mengemukakan cadangan kenaikan imbuhan buat semua jurulatih.

"Ya, cadangan kenaikan itu ada dikemukakan untuk pertimbangan MSN sebelum ini," kata Pengurus Besar BAM, Kenny Goh.

Malah MSN turut memberi petanda akan mempersetujui cadangan kenaikan disertakan justifikasi itu, tetapi ceritanya berbeza sebaik sahaja jurulatih-jurulatih terbabit menerima tawaran sambungan kontrak mereka.

Belanjawan MSN tahun ini menyaksikan pengurangan hampir 30 peratus peruntukan tetapi ketua pengarahnya, Datuk Zolkples Embong, menegaskan bahawa pembiayaan untuk badminton dan dua sukan lainnya itu tidak terjejas.

Ia senada kenyataan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob ketika sekali lagi menegaskan bahawa segala perancangan untuk Olimpik 2012 sudahpun berlangsung sepenuhnya, minggu lalu.

Tapi jelas, masih ada yang tidak kena dalam perancangan itu.

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...
