Dakwaan boling padang atur perlawanan tidak wujud


KUALA LUMPUR - Selepas beberapa bulan menjalankan siasatan, Persekutuan Lawn Bowls Malaysia (PLBM) mendapati dakwaan terhadap seorang pegawai yang dikatakan cuba mengatur perlawanan tidak wujud.

PLBM dalam satu kenyataan ringkas kepada media semalam berkata, keputusan itu dicapai jawatankuasa siasatan bebas yang dilantik pada awal tahun ini selepas menerima aduan beberapa pemain.

"Saya dengan sukacita ingin memaklumkan, jawatankuasa siasatan telah menyimpulkan bahawa cubaan mengatur perlawanan tidak wujud dalam PLBM.

"PLBM bagaimanapun menghargai kebimbangan masyarakat sukan dan World Bowls (badan boling padang dunia) mengenai perkara ini, dan kami juga mengiktiraf kesimpulan yang dibuat oleh Jawatankuasa Siasatan,'' kata Presiden PLBM, Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid dalam kenyataan itu.

Menurut PLBM lagi untuk mencapai satu keputusan yang telus dan tidak berat sebelah, badan itu telah melantik personaliti yang memiliki pengalaman serta latar belakang berkaitan untuk menjalankan siasatan.

Panel tersebut terdiri daripada bekas Presiden Mahkamah Rayuan, Tan Sri Lamin Mohd. Yunus (kini hakim di Mahkamah Jenayah Antarabangsa Hague), bekas Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Badan Pencegah Rasuah (pencegahan), Mohd. Nordin Ahmad dan Makmor Md. Yassin, pesara Asisten Supritendan polis.

Sementara itu, Norhashimah Ismail, salah seorang daripada dua pemain kebangsaan yang membuat dakwaan itu bersama Siti Zalina Ahmad enggan mengulas lanjut mengenai keputusan panel siasatan.

"Saya tiada komen tetapi saya menghormati keputusan yang dibuat,'' ujar Norhashimah ketika dihubungi. - UTUSAN

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...

KUALA TERENGGANU, May 29 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badaw i said the government always gives emphasis on cultivating a strong sporting culture in achieving excellence at the international level. As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level.

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...
