Cedera himpit skuad takraw


PEMAIN Malaysia, Mohd. Azlan Mubin (kiri) akan menjalani pembedahan lutut kanan yang semestinya memerlukan rehat yang panjang.

KUALA LUMPUR - Usaha untuk memantapkan skuad sepak takraw kebangsaan menjelang Sukan SEA di Laos penghujung tahun ini tampak terjejas setelah dua apit kanannya bakal berehat panjang akibat kecederaan.

Skuad bimbingan Haris Abd. Rahman itu tidak akan dapat menggunakan khidmat pemain apit kanan berpengalaman, Mohd. Azlan Mubin untuk tempoh sekurang-kurangnya setengah tahun.

"Dia baru sahaja menjalani pembedahan di lutut sebelah kiri dan akan menjalani pembedahan untuk lutut kanan dalam masa terdekat yang semestinya memerlukan tempoh rehat yang panjang," katanya di sini, semalam.

Haris berkata, ketika pemain berusia 26 tahun itu mewakili negara pada Sukan Universiti ASEAN bulan lepas, dia telah pun mengalami kecederaan.

"Selain Azlan seorang lagi pemain apit kanan yang juga saya anggap sebagai 'killer' yang berpotensi ialah Helmi Heri yang mengalami kecederaan buku lali yang memerlukan rehat sekurang-kurangnya empat bulan," ujarnya.

Haris berkata, ketiadaan dua pemain utama itu bagaimanapun tidak mematahkan semangatnya untuk melatih pemain lain untuk bermain di posisi itu, dengan tujuh pemain kini giat menjalani latihan di kompleks Majlis Sukan Negara, Keramat.

Mengenai sasaran Persatuan Sepaktakraw Malaysia (PSM) untuk memenangi sekurang- kurangnya satu pingat emas di Sukan SEA Laos, Haris menjelaskan, perkara itu boleh direalisasikan jika tiada sebarang kecederaan dialami pemain.

Bagi program tahun ini, skuad kebangsaan akan memulakan perlawanan ujian dengan kelab di seluruh negara selama dua hari bermula Sabtu depan dengan lebih 20 pasukan telah mengesahkan penyertaan.

Selepas itu, mereka akan menyertai Kejohanan Jemputan Piala Pusingan Tuanku Raja Muda Perlis pada 6 hingga 8 Februari ini.

"Kejohanan di Perlis bakal menguji pemain-pemain kita kerana terdapat beberapa kelab dari Thailand akan menyertai pertandingan itu," katanya. - Bernama

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
