Liga Malaysia diswastakan?

PERSATUAN Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) mungkin menswastakan Liga Malaysia (Liga M) bagi musim 2011 jika pelbagai masalah masih lagi membelenggu perjalanan liga tahun depan.

Setiausaha Agung FAM, Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad berkata, antara masalah terbabit adalah kewangan seperti pembayaran gaji pemain dan pegawai, kemerosotan kualiti permainan dan kekurangan sambutan daripada penonton.

"Saingan Liga M musim depan akan menjadi medan terakhir FAM mencari jalan keluar daripada permasalahan itu dan kerana itu juga terdapat beberapa syarat tambahan kepada pasukan yang bertanding," katanya baru-baru ini.

Antara syarat yang perlu dipenuhi semua pasukan adalah membayar deposit penyertaan kepada FAM dan mempunyai bukti kedudukan kewangan yang kukuh sepanjang musim bagi mengharungi saingan Liga M musim depan.

Pasukan yang bersaing dalam Liga Super juga perlu membayar deposit penyertaan sebanyak RM150,000 manakala RM100,000 kepada pasukan yang bertanding dalam Liga Perdana.

Pasukan Liga Super pula perlu mempunyai bukti kedudukan kewangan berjumlah RM2.5 juta manakala Liga Perdana adalah RM1.5 juta.

"Jika semua syarat-syarat itu dapat dipenuhi dan dipandang serius oleh anggota-anggota gabungan, ia merupakan satu petanda yang baik untuk bola sepak negara ini," katanya.

Ketika ditanya kenapa FAM perlu menunggu sehingga 2011 sedangkan telah terbukti liga-liga luar negara yang diswastakan telah pun berjaya, Azzuddin berkata, ia berhubung rapat dengan budaya rakyat Malaysia.

"Cara kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia adalah dengan berdialog terlebih dulu, serta memberi ruang yang secukupnya sehingga sampai satu tahap apabila semuanya telah diberi barulah tindakan diambil," katanya.

Azzuddin berkata, anggota-anggota gabungan perlu menggunakan masa yang ada untuk berubah terutamanya bagi mencari dana serta mengambil insiatif sendiri untuk membuat hala tuju persatuan.

"Ini kerana dalam beberapa aspek seperti mencari sumber kewangan serta pengurusan dan pentabdiran anggota-anggota gabungan FAM tidak boleh campur tangan kerana ia tidak dibenarkan oleh perlembagaan persatuan," katanya.

Liga M kini diuruskan sepenuhnya oleh FAM di mana terdapat jawatankuasa-jawatankuasa tertentu dibentuk bagi mengendalikan perjalanannya. - Bernama

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...
