9 acara baru di Sukma XIII





SHABERY (kanan) menyatakan sesuatu kepada ahli-ahli jawatankuasa Sukma XIII selepas Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Sukma di Bukit Jalil semalam.

SEBANYAK sembilan acara baru bakal dipertandingkan pada temasya Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) XIII di Melaka tahun depan.

Acara terbabit ialah formula future, kenu, golf, kab- badi, ragbi 7 sepasukan, bola tampar (dewan dan pantai), judo, lawan pedang serta tenis.

Acara akuatik pula menyaksikan dua disiplin baru bakal dipertandingkan iaitu renang berirama dan polo air.

Bagaimanapun, taekwondo merupakan satu-satunya acara yang ditolak oleh Jawa- tankuasa Tertinggi Sukma semalam.

Menurut Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek, acara taekwondo ditolak berikutan kemelut dalaman yang melanda Persatuan Taekwondo Malaysia (MTA).

"Saya memang berharap agar MTA dapat menyelesai- kan masalah ini tetapi Sukma 2010 hanya tinggal beberapa bulan sahaja lagi dan tidak adil untuk tuan rumah menerima penyertaan pada saat-saat akhir.

"Disebabkan itu, kami memutuskan bahawa taekwondo tidak akan dipertandingkan pada Sukma XIII," kata Shabery selepas mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Tertinggi Sukma di Bukit Jalil semalam.

Shabery menjelaskan, kesemua sembilan acara baru serta dua disiplin baru dalam acara akuatik itu hanya akan dilaksanakan jika terdapat sekurang-kurangnya lapan negeri yang mengambil baha- gian.

Pada temasya dwitahunan itu nanti, 18 acara wajib yang bakal dipertandingkan ialah angkat berat, badminton, berbasikal, bola sepak, boling padang, gimnastik, hoki, karate-do, memanah, menembak, olahraga, perahu lahar, renang/terjun, sepak takraw, pencak silat, skuasy, boling dan wusyu.

Tujuh acara lain yang menjadi pilihan tuan rumah, Melaka ialah bola jaring, bola keranjang, ekuestrian, tinju, silambam, ping pong dan petanque.

Shabery turut mengumumkan, tarikh Sukma XIII telah ditunda daripada 25 Mei kepada 10 hingga 19 Jun tahun depan bersesuaian dengan cuti persekolahan dan juga Hari Gawai.

Dalam pada itu, Shabery tidak menolak kemungkinan Malaysia akan menggugurkan penyertaan dalam acara taekwondo pada Sukan SEA di Laos, Disember depan.

"Saya masih menunggu laporan daripada Presiden Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM), Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Ja'afar tetapi daripada perbualan kami, mesyuarat jawatankuasa ad-hoc baru-baru ini masih belum berjaya menyelesaikan masalah dalaman MTA," tambah Shabery.

"Disebabkan itu, saya bersedia untuk mengkaji semula penyertaan taekwondo." - KOSMO

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...
