Pengalaman perit buka pintu hati



MELALUI jerit perih pengalaman hidup sebagai atlit membuatkan bekas pelari negara, Noorul Arrifin Abdul Majeed tidak berfikir ‘dua kali’ untuk menyertai kempen 1Ringgit 1Malaysia bagi membantu golongan rakan seperjuangannya.


Bagi membuktikan kesungguhannya terhadap kempen anjuran Yayasan Kebajikan Atlet Malaysia (Yakeb), bekas pelari 3,000 meter berhalangan negara itu, menghulurkan sumbangan peribadi RM5,000 kepada Pengurus Besarnya, Md Razib Md Shah.

“Saya akan meletakkan dua tabung di restoran saya iaitu Restoran Seri Mahkota di Sentul dan Puchong. Saya terpanggil menjayakan kempen ini kerana saya juga bekas atlit dan punya pengalaman itu suatu masa dulu,” kata Pengerusi Pendaftar Kenderaan Klasik Wilayah Tengah (Malaysia dan Singapura) yang nyata gembira apabila nasib bekas atlit dan atlit masih aktif terus dibela.

Sementara itu, Naib Presiden Majlis Peguam Negara, Lim Chee Wee, berkata pihaknya akan mengadakan kempen minggu depan dengan meletakkan tabung di beberapa pertandingan yang bakal dianjurkan di seluruh negara seperti merentas desa, golf, badminton, bowling, bola sepak, skuasy dan bola jaring.

Mereka yang prihatin boleh menderma menerusi SMS dengan menaip YAKEB1 untuk RM1, YAKEB2 untuk RM2, YAKEB5 untuk RM5 dan YAKEB10 untuk RM10 dan hantar kepada 33898 sehingga 15 Ogos ini. Setiap derma dikenakan caj 50 sen kepada pengirim.

Sumbangan juga boleh disalurkan menerusi akaun Tabung Yayasan Kebajikan Atlit Kebangsaan bernombor, 5648 4700 5696 (Maybank Berhad) atau menghubungi Yakeb di talian 03-89964841/4844 atau melayari laman web www.yakeb.org.my.

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...
