PSM tidak wajar perbesarkan isu pemotongan geran: MOM

Oleh Lukman Salleh

PEMOTONGAN geran seharusnya tidak dijadikan isu oleh Persatuan Sepak Takraw Malaysia (PSM) sebaliknya adalah lebih bijak berfikiran rasional dengan mengkaji secara mendalam sebab kekalahan skuad di Laos untuk tampil lebih cemerlang di Sukan Asia 2010 di Guangzhou.

Setiausaha Kehormat Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM), Datuk Sieh Kok Chi, berkata adalah lebih baik PSM dan juga Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) bertenang dan mendahulukan kepentingan sepak takraw kerana kurang setahun saja lagi skuad negara akan berdepan cabaran lebih sengit di Guangzhou.

“Tidak ada guna untuk berbalah... ia tidak akan membawa keuntungan,” kata Kok Chi. “Adalah lebih baik bagi PSM menggerakkan semula jentera mereka, mengkaji di mana silapnya perencanaan di Laos dan kemudian bangkit lebih hebat dan bersemangat di Sukan Asia.


PSM tidak mempunyai banyak masalah lebih, biar kita fokus kepada isu sebenarnya iaitu kegagalan skuad di Laos dan cari jalan untuk memperbaiki keadaan.

“Malah saya yakin bahawa PSM boleh mencontohi skuad bola sepak, yang sering diperlekeh dan dikritik termasuk di Sukan Sea tetapi bangkit membuktikan sebaliknya dengan kejayaan gemilang di Vientiane.

“PSM boleh mencontohi. Justeru, tumpukan sepenuh perhatian untuk bangkit dan menafikan segala kritikan di Guangzhou nanti,” katanya.

Malah, Kok Chi turut mencadangkan supaya PSM melihat kepada kemungkinan untuk menumpukan kepada hanya satu acara sama ada berpasukan atau pun regu di Guangzhou nanti.

“Mungkin kita boleh mencuri salah satu pingat emas di Guangzhou sama ada dalam berpasukan atau pun regu bergantung di mana kekuatan skuad,” kata Kok Chi. “Jika kita berkeyakinan dalam regu, kita perlu memfokuskan untuk gandingan yang kuat... mungkin peluang kita meraih emas lebih cerah.”

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...

"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.

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...
