Roslinda, rakan kecewa tindakan KOAM

Pegawai didakwa terbabit dalam 'perlakuan meragukan' dilantik jawatankuasa kejurulatihan

TERKEJUT, kecewa, terkilan dan sedih. Tiada lagi perkataan selain daripada apa yang tertera di atas untuk menyatakan perasaan jaguh lompat bergalah wanita, Roslinda Samsu dengan keputusan Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) melantik pegawai yang didakwa terbabit dalam 'perlakuan meragukan" di Terbuka Taiwan, tahun lalu ke jawatankuasa kejurulatihan dan pembangunan dipengerusikan Timbalan KOAM, Karim Ibrahim.

Malah, Roslinda dan rakan-rakan berasa diri mereka seperti dipermainkan dan dalam keadaan amat kecewa itu pelbagai perkara berlegar dalam kotak fikirannya, termasuk menarik diri daripada pasukan kebangsaan atau pun bersara terus daripada acara lompat bergalah.

"Kami sebagai atlit tampak seperti ditindas," kata Roslinda ketika dihubungi semalam. "Memang saya rasa sedih, terkilan serta terkejut dengan tindakan KOAM melantik pegawai terbabit dalam jawatankuasa kerjanya. Tiada lagi perkataan untuk menyatakan perasaan saya dan rakan-rakan ketika ini.

"Sepatutnya persatuan bertindak lebih bijak dalam perkara ini. Kami mengadu kepada persatuan dengan harapan untuk mendapat perlindungan tetapi sebaliknya kami yang menjadi mangsa.

"Tindakan KOAM ini seolah-olah seperti menyatakan tiada apa-apa yang berlaku, semuanya berjalan lancar, tiada masalah, sedangkan kami tidak mahu pegawai itu terbabit dalam KOAM. Tetapi sekarang ini kepada siapa kami hendak mengadu."

Sebelum ini, Karim memaklumkan pelantikan pegawai terbabit menganggotai jawatankuasanya mendapat sokongan lembaga eksekutif yang bermesyuarat awal bulan ini dengan tidak seorang pun ahli yang membantah atau menghalang.

Menurut Karim, pegawai ini hanya dikenakan larangan memegang jawatan selaku pengurus pasukan kebangsaan tetapi tidak untuk jawatan lain dalam KOAM dan menjadi dasar persatuan induk seperti yang termaktub dalam perlembagaan, melantik semua setiausaha negeri untuk menerajui jawatankuasa kecil.

Bagi Roslinda, untuk mengadu perkara ini kepada Presiden KOAM, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim, mungkin tidak akan membuahkan sebarang hasil kerana sebelum ini apa yang mereka sampaikan kepada pengetahuan pemimpin mereka, tidak pernah mendapat perhatian.

Saya dan rakan-rakan pernah menulis surat kepada Presiden menyatakan rasa tidak puas hati dengan keputusan KOAM ke atas pegawai terbabit tetapi malangnya sampai sekarang, tiada satu maklum balas pun yang kami terima."

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...
