MSN kecam sikap BAM

Tiada persediaan mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Kerja Bersama

SIKAP 'tangkap muat' dan tidak bersedia Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) mencetus rasa kurang senang Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) ketika kedua-dua pihak duduk semeja untuk mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Kerja Bersama MSN-BAM, kelmarin.

Antara keluhan diluahkan MSN ialah hakikat BAM belum pun mengesahkan senarai nama pemain dan jumlah kejohanan bakal disertai untuk sepanjang musim 2010.

"Tahun ini penting untuk sukan badminton negara. Kita ada Piala Thomas, Kejohanan Dunia, Sukan Komanwel dan Sukan Asia di mana pemain negara diletakkan sasaran untuk menyerlah.

"Sepatutnya BAM lebih bersedia. Mesyuarat itu adalah untuk memuktamadkan semua perkara penting, termasuk peruntukan kewangan. Tetapi apa diberi ialah senarai cadangan yang belum disahkan," kata Ketua Pengarah MSN, Datuk Zolkples Embong.

Semua itu angkara kegagalan BAM - di sebalik janji selepas Mesyuarat Agung BAM, hujung Disember lalu - mengadakan mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Teknik dan Kejurulatihan untuk memuktamadkan perancangan mereka. 

Apa yang menariknya ialah Presiden BAM, Datuk Nadzmi Salleh - yang juga pengerusi jawatankuasa itu - sebelumnya sudah memberi tarikh untuk mesyuarat diadakan, hari ini - dengan mesyuarat bersama MSN harus dijadualkan selepas itu.

Tetapi tarikh diberi Nadzmi dikatakan ditolak seorang pegawai penting BAM - dengan alasan beliau akan berada di luar negara atas urusan peribadi - sekali gus mencetus persoalan 'siapa sebenarnya berkuasa' dalam BAM.

Turut diperkatakan ialah pegawai sama juga bertanggungjawab memberi kebenaran kepada tarikh mesyuarat dengan MSN, Rabu lalu - sekali gus mendedahkan BAM kepada 'rasa kurang senang' MSN itu.

BAM juga menyalahi 'tradisi' mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Kerja Bersama - berbanding persatuan sukan kebangsaan lainnya - apabila tidak menghantar pemimpin kanan persatuan itu untuk apa layak disifatkan sebagai 'perbincangan tertinggi' dengan MSN itu.

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...
