BAM sedia buat rombakan besar

PERUBAHAN besar barisan kejurulatihan skuad badminton negara mungkin akan dilakukan selepas kempen Piala Thomas, Mei depan.

Menurut Presiden Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Datuk Nadzmi Salleh, kontrak setiap jurulatih akan dikaji semula andai skuad negara gagal mencapai sasaran yang ditetapkan pada kejohanan berpasukan lelaki dunia itu pada 9 hingga 16 Mei.

Tambah Nadzmi, pihaknya memberi kebebasan kepada jurulatih untuk menjalankan program persediaan Piala Thomas kerana tidak ingin dipersalahkan jika berlaku sebarang insiden yang tidak diingini.
Begitupun, andai masih gagal mencatat keputusan yang memuaskan, BAM akan bertindak dan tidak mustahil ada antara jurulatih yang akan dipecat.

"Disebabkan masa sudah suntuk, kami memutuskan untuk tidak akan melakukan sebarang perubahan dari segi kejurulatihan sehinggalah Piala Thomas, Mei depan," kata Nadzmi selepas mesyuarat Exco BAM di Shah Alam semalam.


"Kami memberi kebebasan kepada jurulatih untuk menjalankan program persediaan kerana kami tidak mahu dipersalahkan jika timbul masalah kerana membuat perubahan drastik ketika hanya tinggal beberapa bulan sahaja lagi sebelum Piala Thomas.

"Begitupun, jika tiada hasil yang memuaskan pada Piala Thomas, kami pasti akan menilai dan mengkaji semula kontrak jurulatih."

Sementara itu, Nadzmi menjelaskan, meskipun jurulatih baru, Tan Kim Her tidak terlibat dalam persiapan Piala Thomas negara, namun bekas pemain negara itu masih boleh menyumbang idea dan pendapat demi kebaikan pasukan.

Terdahulu, ketua jurulatih beregu negara, Rexy Mainaky meminta Kim Her untuk melatih tiga beregu yang berada pada ranking terendah, Goh Wei Shem-Teo Kok Siang, Vountus Indra Mawan-Mohd Lutfi Zaim Abdul Khalid dan Pang Zheng Lin-Chooi Kah Ming meskipun Kim Her mempunyai pengalaman luas melatih pemain di Korea Selatan dan England.

"Jurulatih kita harus bersikap profesional dan jika mereka bijak, mereka akan berbincang dan bertukar pandangan untuk kebaikan skuad negara," kata Nadzmi.

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...

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...
