BADAI yang ditempuh badang negara, berakhir indah seperti diidamkan apabila Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) serta merta menyahut panggilan kecemasan mereka lalu menokhtahkan segala permasalahan.

Menterinya, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, semalam berkata kementerian mengambil keputusan bahawa semua atlit elit, termasuk senior kebangsaan kini dilatih oleh jurulatih dari China, Lin Xin Hui.

"Saya sudah bertemu dengan wakil atlit, wakil persatuan (Persatuan Angkat Berat Malaysia PABM) serta pegawai jurulatih dan membuat keputusan bahawa jurulatih dari China akan melatih atlit elit dan senior kebangsaan.

"Pada masa sama, persatuan perlu mengemukakan seorang calon jurulatih yang berkelayakan untuk mengisi satu lagi kekosongan jawatan jurulatih untuk pasukan angkat berat negara," katanya di Kompleks Sukan Bukit Jalil, semalam.

Ismail Sabri bertindak pantas menangani kemelut yang melanda di kem latihan angkat berat negara sejurus pendedahan Berita Harian, Ahad lalu berkaitan kegelisahan lima atlit senior kebangsaan berlatih dengan jurulatih yang menjadi 'pilihan' persatuan.

Difahamkan dalam pertemuan itu, atlit turut mengambil kesempatan meluahkan masalah mereka, terutama membabitkan alasan mengapa mereka tidak mahu berguru di bawah jurulatih kendalian persatuan.

Ismail Sabri berkata, berkuat serta merta, lima atlit senior kebangsaan dan empat atlit elit akan dikendalikan sepenuhnya oleh Lin Xin Hui manakala jurulatih dari Bulgaria, Stefan Stefanov akan kembali melatih skuad pelapis.

"Ini adalah sejajar dengan kehendak atlit. Kita memandang serius masalah yang berlaku kerana tidak mahu ia menjejaskan persiapan atlit negara dan peluang memungut pingat dalam kejohanan akan datang," katanya.

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...
