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...

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...
