Shun Ting buru pingat di Laos


SHUN TING bakal membuat penampilan kali keempat pada temasya Sukan SEA di Laos, Disember depan.

ATLET bola tampar pantai kebangsaan, Beh Shun Ting berharap kedatangan tahun baru ini akan memberi kejayaan lebih bermakna buat dirinya.

Ketika ini, hanya satu impian yang mahu dilaksanakan Shun Ting iaitu menyumbang pingat buat negara pada Sukan SEA di Laos, Disember depan.

Graduan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Perancangan Perniagaan Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) itu berkata, dia amat berbangga sekiranya mampu sekali lagi beraksi pada temasya terbesar di Asia Tenggara itu.

"Tahun ini merupakan penampilan keempat saya selaku pemain bola tampar pantai negara.

"Tiada misi yang lebih besar melainkan usaha untuk menyumbang kilauan pingat untuk Malaysia pada temasya di Laos nanti.

"Itu sememangnya impian saya sejak bergelar atlet negara," kata Shun Ting ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.

Atlet berusia 24 tahun itu berkata, meskipun impian itu bukan satu misi mudah tetapi dia yakin ia tidak mustahil dicapai sekiranya ia disusuli dengan usaha dan kerja-keras.

"Saya yakin kami boleh lakukannya. Kami sebenarnya hampir berjaya (meraih emas) ketika beraksi pada Sukan SEA di Korat dua tahun lepas.

"Apa pun, ia sudah berlalu. Mungkin pengalaman tersebut dapat kami gunakan bagi saingan musim ini," ujar Shun Ting yang berpasangan dengan Luk Teck Eng sebagai pemain utama negara.

Begitupun, Shun Ting berkata, jadual bagi kejohanan musim ini hanya akan diketahui selepas dia kembali daripada bercuti.

"Minggu hadapan saya menjalani latihan seperti biasa. Waktu itu semua program kejohanan akan dijelaskan kepada kami.

"Selepas itu, baru kami boleh rancang apa yang perlu kami lakukan menjelang Sukan SEA," jelas Shun Ting.

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...

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...
