'Kami selesa bersama Rexy'




KREDIBILITI Rexy Mainaky selaku ketua jurulatih beregu badminton negara tidak perlu dipersoalkan lagi.
Hakikatnya, Rexy telah berjaya membimbing anak-anak buahnya mengecap pelbagai kejayaan sejak dilantik sebagai jurulatih negara pada 2005.
Bagi dua pemain beregu negara, Wong Pei Tty serta Mohd. Zakry Abdul Latif, mereka mengakui cukup selesa menjalani latihan bersama Rexy.
Pei Tty berkata, dia dan pasangannnya, Chin Eei Hui tidak mengalami banyak masalah 'berguru' dengan bekas jaguh Indonesia itu.
"Kami mula mendapat bimbingan daripada Rexy selepas Sukan Olimpik 2008 dan kami memang selesa untuk menjalani latihan bersamanya," kata Pei Tty.
"Kami banyak menunjukkan peningkatan termasuk muncul beregu wanita No. 1 dunia tahun lepas dan menjuarai beberapa kejohanan.
"Selain itu, kami dan Rexy juga selalu berbincang bagi memperbaiki mutu permainan. Dia merupakan jurulatih yang mudah menerima pandangan pemain.
"Namun, kami sama sekali tidak akan membantah sekiranya terpaksa bertukar jurulatih pada masa hadapan kerana ini bukan kuasa kami."
Menurut Pei Tty, berdasarkan faktor usia, lebih sukar sekiranya dia terpaksa mendapatkan khidmat jurulatih lain terutama jika jurulatih baru ingin mengubah corak permainan mereka berdua.


"Saya dan Eei Hui bukan masih muda dan kami sudah selesa dengan corak latihan dan permainan kami ketika ini," tambah Pei Tty.
"Saya rasa, kami juga sebenarnya sudah tahu apa yang kami perlukan dan jika terdapat jurulatih baru, saya harap dia tidak paksa untuk kami menukar corak permainan secara drastik."
Sementara itu, Zakry juga mengakui, Rexy telah memberi impak yang besar terhadap kariernya termasuk menggandingkannya dengan Mohd. Fairuzizuan Mohd. Tazari sehingga mereka menjadi beregu No. 2 negara ketika ini.
"Rexy memang banyak membantu dalam menaikkan karier saya," kata Zakry.
"Dia juga merupakan individu yang bertanggungjawab menggandingkan saya dengan Fairuzizuan sehingga kami berada di tahap ini.
"Secara jujurnya, saya memang selesa dengan Rexy dan sepanjang dia membimbing kami, saya tidak pernah berdepan masalah dengannya."
Terdahulu, timbul khabar angin tempat Rexy akan digantikan oleh jurulatih baru, Tan Kim Her meskipun kedudukannya selaku ketua jurulatih beregu negara terjamin sekurang-kurangnya sehingga kempen Piala Thomas Mei depan.
Kim Her, bekas pemain negara yang juga semi finalis Sukan Olimpik 1996 bersama Soo Beng Kiang, akan mula menjalankan tugasnya selaku jurulatih skuad negara bermula bulan depan.

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...
