Tarikh asal bertembung dengan pertandingan antarabangsa membabitkan sukan badminton

KONTROVERSI mengenai tarikh penganjuran kejohanan Mini Olimpik Malaysia yang kerap tertunda akhirnya diselesaikan dengan hos utamanya - Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) memilih 29 Julai sehingga 9 Ogos ini untuk menganjurkannya.

Kejohanan yang julung kali diadakan dengan matlamat melahirkan serta mempersiapkan atlit untuk menghadapi Sukan Olimpik, sebelum ini dilanda masalah dengan tarikh asal pada 20 Jun, bertembung dengan beberapa pertandingan antarabangsa terutama membabitkan sukan badminton.

"Ini tarikh muktamad... tidak akan lagi penangguhan," kata Pengarah Pengurusan Acara MSN, Jalil Abdullah (gambar), semalam. "Selepas perbincangan dengan persatuan sukan terbabit tarikh 29 Julai-9 Ogos ini adalah tempoh sesuai kerana atlit daripada lapan sukan yang bertanding tidak terbabit dalam sebarang pertandingan antarabangsa.

"Tarikh ini juga membolehkan semua pertandingan diadakan serentak dan tidak perlu beberapa pertandingan dilangsungkan berlainan tarikh kerana ia tidak akan memenuhi tuntutan sebagai satu pertandingan Mini Olimpik.

"Dengan tarikh baru ini semua pertandingan akan dilaksana serentak tidak lagi secara berasingan dan kita berharap semua pihak akan setuju dengan tarikh ini," kata Jalil.

Lapan sukan terbabit dalam Mini Olimpik ini ialah akuatik, angkat berat, badminton, berbasikal, gimnastik, memanah, menembak dan olahraga.

Sebelum ini, MSN berhajat melaksanakan Mini Olimpik Jun ini tetapi tidak kesampaian apabila kejohanan berkenaan terpaksa ditangguhkan bagi membolehkan semua atlit utama negara mengambil bahagian.

Tarikh asal kejohanan iaitu pada 20 dan 21 Jun ini, bertindih dengan beberapa kejohanan utama badminton termasuk Terbuka Indonesia, di jadual pada 16 hingga 20 Jun diikuti kejohanan Grand Prix Emas di Johor.

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...
