Jangan kacau skuad elit - Zolkples


KUALA LUMPUR - Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Zolkples Embong semalam mengarahkan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) agar tidak melakukan sebarang rombakan dalam skuad elit kebangsaan sehingga tamat Piala Thomas, Mei ini.
Tegas Zolkples, tindakan merombak struktur kejurulatihan hanya akan merosakkan persiapan Malaysia menjelang kejohanan berpasukan prestij itu yang akan diadakan di Kuala Lumpur dari 9-15 Mei ini.
Amaran tersebut dikeluarkan beberapa hari selepas ketua jurulatih beregu, Rexy Mainaky menyuarakan kebimbangan bahawa khidmatnya mungkin tidak diperlukan lagi oleh BAM.
Malah, Zolkples dalam pertemuan dengan pegawai BAM, semalam turut memuji tindakan Rexy, yang dianggap menjalankan kerja dengan baik apabila mengagihkan tugas kepada jurulatih lain pada ketika ada pihak menganggap tindakan itu seperti 'lepas tangan'.
"Saya sudah mengeluarkan arahan kepada BAM supaya jangan kacau pasukan sedia ada sehingga tamat Piala Thomas.



"Kalau diganggu, ia akan merosakkan persiapan kita tetapi selepas Piala Thomas habis, terserah kepada mereka untuk membuat keputusan,'' kata Zolkples ketika mempengerusikan mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Kerja MSN-BAM di Bukit Jalil, semalam.
Malah, Zolkples ketika mengulas mengenai prestasi kerja yang ditunjukkan Rexy selama ini mengakui, beliau tidak melihat ada masalah ditunjukkan jurulatih kelahiran Indonesia itu.
Sebaliknya, bersetuju dengan tindakan Rexy mengagihkan tugas dan memberi lebih kepercayaan kepada jurulatih tempatan untuk membimbing pemain elit.
"Daripada laporan yang saya terima daripada jurulatih-jurulatih lain, Rexy memberi lebih kepercayaan kepada pembantunya dan mengagihkan tugasan, itu satu tindakan yang bagus.
"Saya tidak menerima sebarang rungutan atau laporan negatif, saya tidak nampak dia (Rexy) ada masalah,'' ujar Zolkples.
Sementara itu, Setiausaha BAM, P. Ganga Rao, yang turut hadir pada mesyuarat berkenaan bersetuju dengan arahan untuk tidak merombak pasukan elit sebelum Piala Thomas.
Bagaimanapun kata Ganga, BAM tetap akan membawa masuk jurulatih baru, Tan Kim Her, tindakan yang sebelum ini mencetuskan sedikit rasa kurang senang dalam kem badminton negara.
"Tan Kim Her adalah jurulatih yang bagus, jadi kalau kita tidak ambil dia sekarang orang lain yang akan ambil.
"Dia akan memulakan tugasnya Februari ini, bagaimanapun untuk sementara waktu dia tidak akan diletak dalam skuad kebangsaan, mungkin membantu pasukan remaja.. kita akan tentukan kemudian,'' ujar Ganga.
Selain Ganga, turut mewakili BAM pada mesyuarat semalam adalah pengurus besarnya, Kenny Goh, selain pengurus bahagian kewangan dan promosi, K. Manoharan.

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...
