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...
