Elak 'kecoh' dengan Fifa

Pastikan niat murni nak bantu FAM tak disalah erti: Ismail

SASARAN utama pertemuan di antara Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) dengan wakil Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) adalah bagi membantu menyelamatkan sukan bola sepak negara yang terus-terusan menanggung aib.

Pada masa sama, KBS terpaksa berhemat memastikan niat murni yang ingin membantu membela maruah sukan ini, tidak dilihat oleh Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (Fifa) sebagai cubaan campur tangan kerajaan dalam badan sukan negara.

"Itu sebabnya kita ingin mengadakan pertemuan dengan FAM Rabu depan. Ini perbincangan rasmi yang pertama (menyusuli pertemuan tidak rasmi sebelum ini)," kata menterinya, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob selepas menyampaikan insentif kecemerlangan sukan kepada atlit remaja negara di Kompleks Majlis Sukan Negara, Bukit Jalil, semalam.

Ditanya ke mana hala tuju rundingan terbabit, Ismail Sabri membayangkan betapa terlalu banyak perkara yang dilihat membelenggu dunia bola sepak negara sehingga menyaksikan prestasi skuad kebangsaan begitu mengecewakan.

"Banyak perkara yang akan kita bincangkan. Bukan masalah kewangan saja. Mungkin aspek struktur juga perlu dikaji semula. Kita mahu melihat secara menyeluruh, struktur kelab, kejurulatihan, pemain dan sebagainya.

"Mungkin turut dibincangkan adalah dalam aspek perlembagaan terutama membabitkan pembangunan sukan ini di peringkat daerah. Kita perlu galakkan lebih banyak kelab didaftarkan di daerah dan perlu kaji sama ada ia melanggar perlembagaan FAM atau tidak.

"Pertemuan Rabu depan akan turut disertai Ketua Setiausaha KBS (Datuk Mohd Yasin Saleh), Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) (Datuk Zolkples Embong) dan mungkin FAM akan menghantar Timbalan Presidennya, Khairi Jamaluddin serta Setiausaha (Datuk Azzudin Ahmad)," katanya.

Sementara itu, Ismail Sabri menjelaskan, Mini Olimpik Malaysia yang dicadangkan ketika Konvensyen Sukan Kebangsaan, bakal diadakan pada Ogos depan dan memberi masa dua minggu kepada MSN memperincikan butiran temasya sukan itu.

"Mini Olimpik Malaysia lebih memberikan tumpuan kepada acara yang dipertandingkan di Olimpik dan menjadi satu lagi temasya sukan selepas Sukma yang sebelum ini dilihat sebagai medan membentuk pelapis negara," katanya.

Pada majlis berkenaan, atlit pelapis kebangsaan yang meraih pingat emas di Sukan Komanwel Remaja di Pune, India tahun lalu menerima imbuhan RM 2,000 untuk pingat emas, perak (RM 1,000) dan RM 750 untuk gangsa.

Bagi atlit yang membawa pulang pingat pada Festival Olimpik Remaja Australia, pertengahan bulan ini, mereka menerima insentif RM 1,000 untuk emas, RM 500 (gangsa) dan gangsa (RM 300).

Warga sukan turut mengambil kesempatan pada majlis itu menghulurkan sumbangan RM 10,000 untuk Tabung RM1 Palestin, bagi membantu meringankan penderitaan masyarakat Palestin yang diserang oleh rejim Israel.

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...
