Jangan bandingkan dengan Vietnam


PASUKAN bola sepak bawah 23 negara yang berjaya menamatkan kemarau 20 tahun pingat emas Sukan SEA di Laos. Malaysia menewaskan Vietnam 1-0.


KUALA LUMPUR – Jangan bandingkan jumlah imbuhan yang diterima oleh pemain Malaysia dan Vietnam.

Itu kata Setiausaha Agung Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Datuk Azzuddin Ahmad mengenai perbezaan jumlah ganjaran yang diterima oleh para pemain skuad bola sepak Bawah 23 tahun kebangsaan dan lawan yang mereka tundukkan pada perlawanan akhir acara bola sepak Sukan SEA XXV, Vietnam.

Para pemain skuad kebangsaan menerima RM30,000 setiap seorang di atas kejayaan membawa pulang pingat emas Sukan SEA XXV.

Sedangkan pemain Vietnam, yang kalah 0-1 kepada Malaysia pada perlawanan akhir, menerima imbuhan jauh lebih besar iaitu AS$210,000 atau bersamaan RM720,000 keseluruhan, walaupun sekadar muncul naib juara.

Menurut Azuddin, adalah tidak adil bagi sesiapa yang membandingkan jumlah imbuhan yang diterima oleh pemain kita dan Vietnam.

‘‘Apakah matlamat membanding-bandingkan imbuhan yang diterima oleh pemain kita dan Vietnam?

‘‘Bagi saya biarlah mereka (Vietnam) dengan cara mereka dan kita dengan cara kita.

‘‘Kita memberi imbuhan mengikut kemampuan kita. Jumlah yang kita beri adalah jumlah yang kita mampu.

‘‘Saya percayai para pemain kita berpuas hati dengan imbuhan yang mereka terima. Saya percaya mereka tidak menilai kejayaan mereka dari sudut wang ringgit,’’ katanya ketika dihubungi di sini, semalam.

Setiap pemain skuad bola sepak negara yang menamatkan kemarau juara selama 20 tahun dalam acara bola sepak Sukan SEA menerima bonus keseluruhan hampir RM30,000 sebagai ganjaran kejayaan itu.

Namun, imbuhan tersebut diselubungi isu apabila ada pihak yang membandingkan jumlah lebih besar yang diterima oleh pemain Vietnam.

Menurut Azzuddin, adalah sukar jika setiap kejayaan pelru diukur dengan jumlah imbuhan yang diberikan.

‘‘Kita harus faham bahawa adalah sukar untuk mengukur sesuatu kejayaan jika ia hanya berdasarkan jumlah wang imbuhan yang diberikan.

‘‘Apa yang lebih penting, pandang lah imbuhan ini sebagai satu pengiktirafan kepada pemain pemain, ini lebih mustahak dan lebih bernilai. Tidak perlu ada perbandingan.

‘‘Jumlah ini yang mampu kita berikan sebagai pengiktiraf terhadap pengorbanan pemain yang berjuang bersungguh-sungguh demi membawa kejayaan yang kita nanti-nantikan selama 20 tahun,’’ katanya. UM

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...
