Kerjasama pengetua penting - MSN

KUALA LUMPUR - Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) mengalu-alukan saranan Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yang mahu kegemilangan sukan di sekolah dikembalikan.
Langkah yang bakal diambil itu, menurut MSN, mampu menyokong usaha badan tersebut untuk membangunkan sukan di peringkat akar umbi.

Ketua Pengarahnya, Datuk Zolkples Embong (gambar) berkata, untuk melahirkan lebih ramai atlet pelapis, ia perlu bermula dengan program sukan di sekolah.

''Kita mengalu-alukan langkah ini kerana kita tidak boleh lari daripada program di sekolah dan sukan sememangnya patut bermula dari sekolah untuk kita melahirkan lebih ramai atlet pada masa depan,'' katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, semalam.

Beliau mengulas kenyataan Muhyiddin, kelmarin yang mahu kegemilangan sukan dikembalikan ke sekolah-sekolah memandangkan ia adalah institusi utama mengembangkan bakat sukan di peringkat akar umbi.
Zolkples berharap usaha tersebut akan dapat dijayakan memandangkan Muhyiddin juga adalah Menteri Pelajaran dan Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Kabinet Pembangunan Sukan.


Jelasnya lagi, dengan kenyataan Timbalan Perdana Menteri itu, ia diharap akan disusuli dengan satu tindakan yang sewajarnya bagi melahirkan lebih ramai atlet yang berpotensi terutamanya untuk membentuk atlet elit.
''Saya berharap sangat hasrat TPM itu dapat mengerakkan langkah yang lebih positif bagi menyokong usaha MSN untuk membangunkan sukan di peringkat akar umbi,'' ujarnya.

Beliau turut menyeru kepada pengetua-pengetua sekolah agar dapat memberikan kerjasama kepada MSN untuk membantu membangunkan sukan di negara ini.

''Pada peringkat ini, kerjasama pihak sekolah amat penting. Jika mereka tidak menunjukkan minat kepada bidang sukan, maka, sukar untuk MSN membentuk satu struktur pembangunan sukan negara yang mantap,'' tegasnya.

Malah, beliau memberitahu, usaha tersebut juga perlu dilaksanakan oleh semua pihak yang terlibat bagi memastikan perancangan yang disusun dapat berjalan dengan baik.

Tambah beliau, selama ini, Kementerian Belia dan Sukan sememangnya ada menubuhkan sebuah jawatankuasa bersama yang turut melibatkan Kementerian Pelajaran.

Justeru beliau berharap, saranan yang dikemukakan TPM itu dapat membuka satu lembaran baru kepada industri sukan negara bagi menggilap lebih ramai atlet berbakat besar.

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...
