MSN arah BAM kaji program


Zolkples

MAJLIS Sukan negara (MSN) mendesak agar Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) mengkaji semula program-program yang telah dirancang sepanjang tahun 2010.
Menurut Ketua Pengarah MSN, Datuk Zolkples Embong, BAM harus lebih selektif dalam memilih kejohanan yang harus disertai oleh pemain-pemain negara.
Semalam, Zolkples mengumumkan untuk mengurangkan peruntukan yang akan diberikan kepada BAM dan juga persatuan-persatuan sukan lain di Malaysia meskipun sedar terdapat banyak kejohanan sukan yang akan berlangsung sepanjang tahun ini.


"Memang kami telah mengurangkan peruntukan tetapi bukan untuk BAM sahaja tetapi juga untuk sukan-sukan lain," kata Zolkples selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat jawatankuasa kerja bersama (JKK) antara MSN-BAM di Bukit Jalil semalam.
"Saya tahu terdapat banyak kejohanan buat pasukan badminton negara tahun ini tetapi MSN memberi keutamaan pada Sukan Asia dan juga Sukan Komanwel selain Piala Thomas.
"Daripada apa yang saya lihat, penyertaan buat pemain beregu negara pada kejohanan-kejohanan antarabangsa agak munasabah tetapi tidak begitu praktikal buat pemain perseorangan.
"BAM harus lebih selektif agar jangan ada pemain yang mengalami kecederaan. Tambahan pula, kelayakan untuk ke Sukan Olimpik London 2012 juga masih belum bermula.
"BAM juga harus kaji strategi mengapa pemain handalan dunia, Lin Dan menarik diri daripada beberapa kejohanan penting. Mungkin mereka ada strategi dan inilah yang harus dikaji oleh BAM."
Begitupun, MSN menjelaskan, kelulusan peruntukan telah diberikan kepada BAM untuk program sehingga hujung Mac ini sebelum satu lagi mesyuarat JKK bersama BAM diadakan sekali lagi selepas Tahun Baru Cina bulan depan.
Dalam pada itu, MSN turut menjelaskan, pihaknya tidak mempunyai peruntukan untuk menanggung jurulatih beregu baru negara, Tan Kim Her untuk membantu persediaan skuad Piala Thomas negara April ini.
"BAM ada mencadangkan Kim Her tetapi bagi kami, keperluannya tidak perlu dalam persiapan skuad Piala Thomas negara tahun ini," tambah Zolkples.
"Kita tiada peruntukan buat Kim Her. Saya harap persediaan skuad Piala Thomas yang telah dijalankan sejak tahun lepas tidak diganggu."
Awal tahun ini, Kim Her yang juga semi finalis Sukan Olimpik Atlanta 1996 bersama Soo Beng Kiang, telah dilantik untuk membimbing pemain beregu negara.

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...

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.

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...
