'Dua kejutan' BAM terdedah




  • Keputusan sendiri lantik Kim Her



  • EGM pinda perlembagaan

    ADA 'dua kejutan' ciptaan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) terdedah, semalam.



  • Pertamanya ialah Tan Kim Her - yang kini bersama England - sah akan memulakan tugas sebagai jurulatih skuad negara, pertengahan Februari nanti.


    Keduanya ialah badan induk berkenaan sah akan mengadakan Mesyuarat Agung Luar Biasa (EGM) - untuk membincangkan cadangan meminda perlembagaan buat mewujudkan jawatan timbalan presiden kedua - sebelum dijalankan Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan (AGM) bagi memilih jawatankuasa baru bagi sesi 2009/2012, hari ini.

    Pelantikan Kim Her, yang hanya diputuskan seorang sahaja, dilabel 'kejutan' kerana ianya tiada dalam minit mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Teknikal dan Kejurulatihan BAM, baru-baru ini, dan tidak juga diketahui Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN).

    Namun ianya dipertahankan Setiausaha Kehormat BAM, Ganga Rao, yang menegaskan usaha memikat khidmat bekas pakar beregu negara itu sudah lama dilakukan.
    "BAM sentiasa mencari jalan memperkukuhkan barisan jurulatih yang ada. Malah keputusan cuba mendapatkan khidmat Kim Her sudah dibuat dua tahun lalu. Apabila kita mendapat tahu ada peluang, kita terus mengikatnya," kata Ganga.

    Ganga tidak mengulas tanggapan MSN belum dimaklumkan secara rasmi - sesuatu yang disahkan beberapa pegawai kanan badan induk itu - tetapi menganggap langkah segera perlu diambil demi mengelak Kim Her terlepas ke negara lain.

    Persoalan kini timbul ialah di mana mahu diletakkan Kim Her - yang pernah membimbing beregu Korea Selatan selama dua tahun, bermula 2005, sebelum berhijrah ke England pada 2007.

    Ganga tidak menolak kemungkinan struktur kejurulatihan sedia ada dirombak - langkah yang harus mencetuskan rasa hairan kerana organisasi sedia ada baru sahaja dirombak dan diluluskan, awal tahun ini.
    Ia harus menjelmakan gelisah tambahan jika tiada justifikasi kukuh diberi kerana perubahan tanpa merit - mampu dikaitkan angkara 'konflik personaliti' - akan menggoyahkan perancangan mengejar emas Sukan Olimpik 2012 yang sudah diatur.

    Persoalan juga timbul mengenai asas mengadakan EGM itu - terutama selepas wujud dua calon, Tengku Kamil Tengku Idris Shah dan Datuk Al Amin Majid, yang berminat mengisi kekosongan ditinggalkan Datuk Roland Wong.

    Penganjuran mesyuarat luar biasa itu - disahkan menerusi notis kepada semua ahli gabungan, baru-baru ini - adalah kemuncak usaha segelintir pihak yang mahu mencipta 'situasi menang menang' dan mengelak ada yang tersepit di tengah-tengah.

    Cuma ia mampu mendedahkan BAM kepada risiko tambahan kerana sebarang pindaan perlembagaan harus terlebih dahulu diperakui Pejabat Pesuruhjaya Sukan - peraturan termaktub dalam Akta Pembangunan Sukan - sebelum boleh digunapakai oleh BAM. BHARIAN

    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...
