Kurang sambutan, MSN tetap mahu teruskan


KUALA LUMPUR - Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) akan mengundang lebih ramai pakar sukan dari luar untuk meneruskan kesinambungan Konvensyen Sukan Kebangsaan pada masa akan datang.

Walaupun konvensyen 2009 yang berakhir semalam kurang mendapat sambutan daripada persatuan sukan, perjuangan untuk membangunkan sukan negara masih perlu diteruskan.

Ketua Pengarahnya, Datuk Zolkples Embong berkata, MSN percaya dalam membangunkan sukan tanah air, negara tidak harus berpandukan kepada satu atau dua model sahaja.

"Banyak negara lain turut berjaya selain China namun apa yang perlu kita contohi adalah semangat, sikap dan kesungguhan setiap individu di negara itu selain kepakaran mereka di dalam sukan-sukan tertentu.

"Namun kita tidak boleh mengikut sepenuhnya sistem mereka yang berbeza terutamanya dari segi bakat, kepakaran dan jumlah penduduk yang ramai," katanya.

Mengulas mengenai konvensyen dua hari itu, Zolkples berkata, beliau berpuas hati kerana banyak tindakan telah diambil terhadap 100 resolusi yang dicadangkan melalui konvensyen tahun lepas.

"Namun banyak lagi yang perlu dipertingkatkan untuk mencapai kecemerlangan di peringkat antarabangsa dan saya berharap enam jawatankuasa kecil yang bertanggungjawab terhadap 100 resolusi itu akan kembali berbincang untuk melancarkannya lagi," katanya.

Konvensyen dua hari itu melibatkan penyertaan kira-kira 200 peserta tetapi kebanyakan yang hadir adalah orang MSN sendiri, majlis sukan negeri, Majlis Olimpik Malaysia dan wakil universiti.

Sedangkan wakil persatuan sukan kebangsaan boleh dikira dengan jari manakala mana yang hadir pun, terlibat untuk sehari sahaja.

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. "The fact is that we have all the characteristics required to be excellent. We must inculcate a strong fighting spirit so that we don't easily surrender,...

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...
