KUALA LUMPUR - Impian bakal menjadi kenyataan. Itulah yang diharapkan oleh Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) yang mahu menjadikan Kompleks Sukan Negara (KSN) sebagai bandar sukan apabila sebuah muzium sukan bakal diwujudkan tidak lama lagi.

Pengumuman yang telah dibuat pada 12 Julai tahun lalu ketika KSN menyambut ulang tahunnya yang ke-10 sudah diberi bayangan oleh KBS bahawa usah mereka untuk merealisasikan rancangan itu bukan omong kosong.

Menurut Menterinya, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, selain menjadikan KSN sebagai gelanggang untuk kejohanan dan pusat barangan sukan, muzium sukan juga akan diwujudkan di situ.

"Kita sedang melakukan kajian dengan teliti untuk mewujudkan muzium sukan ini dan tokoh sejarah seperti Profesor Emeritus Tan Sri Dr. Khoo Kay Kim bersama yang lain sudah memulakan kajian itu," katanya selepas merasmikan Majlis Pra-Pelancaran Pameran dan Perdagangan Sukan Antarabangsa (MISET) 2009, semalam.

Jelasnya, kajian teliti perlu sebelum muzium tersebut diwujudkan dan ia mengambil sedikit masa dengan tidak melakukannya secara tergesa-gesa.

"Kita akan bekerjasama dengan individu tertentu mahupun Yayasan Atlet Kebangsaan (Yakeb) dalam membina muzium tersebut.

"Mungkin kita akan mempamerkan jersi Allahyarham Mokhtar Dahari dengan meminta keizinan daripada keluarganya ataupun meminta jasa baik Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah untuk mempamerkan barangan sukan yang dimiliki baginda," ujarnya

Katanya, perancangan muzium sukan ini sudah bermula dan mahu semua rakyat sentiasa mengingati Bukit Jalil sebagai bandar sukan.

"MISET 2009 ini juga sebagai salah satu usaha untuk menjadikan KSN sebagai bandar sukan, pameran seperti ini ialah yang pertama di Asia Pasifik.

"Ia sebagai momentum untuk mewujudkan bandar sukan apabila 20 negara sudah membuat pengesahan ingin mengambil bahagian dalam pameran ini, sekali gus memperkenalkan KSN di mata dunia," kata Ismail.

Menurutnya, dalam keadaan ekonomi yang tidak mengizinkan dan menunggu bandar sukan ini dilancarkan adalah lebih baik pameran seperti itu menjadi langkah pertama untuk merealisasikan impian tersebut.

"Saya amat berbesar hati dengan kesudian Yakeb yang datang membantu dan menganjurkan pameran ini dan saya mahu ia dijadikan sebagai aktiviti tahunan.

MISET 2009 akan diadakan pada 26 hingga 28 Jun depan di Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil dengan objektif utama adalah untuk mencari pasaran, membina hubungan, mengenalpasti peluang dan membangunkan teknologi baru dalam peralatan sukan.

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. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level.

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...
