Pilih sukan atau SPM

PENGURUS skuad Projek 2013, Mirnawan Nawawi mempertikaikan tindakan pihak pengurusan Sekolah Sukan Bukit Jalil (SSBJ) yang mahukan penuntut Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) lebih menumpukan pelajaran berbanding sukan.


Tujuh pelajar SSBJ memohon menarik diri daripada skuad Projek 2013, minggu lalu hingga menjejaskan tiga lagi pelajar Sekolah Sukan Bandar Penawar (SSBP), yang terpaksa menolak tawaran menuntut di SSBJ berikutan masalah jadual latihan.
Mirnawan berkata kesemua 10 pelajar itu memaklumkan jadual harian penuntut SPM di SSBJ boleh dianggap fokus hampir 100 peratus terhadap pelajaran.

ā€œMereka memaklumkan kelas tambahan bermula jam 8 hingga 9.30 pagi dan meneruskan sesi persekolahan hingga 2.30 petang. Mereka kemudian mengikuti kelas tambahan hingga jam 6 petang.

ā€œPada sebelah malam, kelas tambahan akan bermula jam 8.30 hingga 10 malam. Jadi, bagaimana pelajar ini dapat berlatih? ā€œSepatutnya, pihak pengurusan SSBJ perlu bijak mengimbangi jadual pelajar kerana objektif penubuhannya ialah melahirkan penuntut cemerlang dalam sukan dan pelajaran.


ā€œSaya lihat tindakan ini sudah berat sebelah. Jika hanya mahu fokus kepada pelajaran, apa keistimewaan SSBJ? Lebih baik hantar saja pelajar ke sekolah harian biasa,ā€ katanya.

Kenyataan bekas kapten kebangsaan era 1990-an itu nyata bercanggah dengan slogan SSBJ selaku sekolah sukan pertama negara iaitu ā€˜SSBJ Penjana Atlit Bertaraf Duniaā€™.

Kata Mirnawan, pengurusan SSBJ seperti guru besar atau jurulatih hoki sekolah, sepatutnya mengingatkan pelajarnya mengenai objektif sebenar SSBJ andai ada yang memohon untuk fokus terhadap SPM saja.

ā€œSaya tidak salahkan pelajar jika mereka mahu fokus terhadap SPM kerana ia juga penting untuk masa depan. ā€œNamun, apa bezanya SSBJ dengan sekolah harian lain kerana berdasarkan pengalaman, ada pelajar sekolah harian yang aktif bersukan sekalipun bakal menduduki SPM,ā€ katanya.

Sabtu lalu, Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin yang juga Menteri Pelajaran, mahu kegemilangan sukan dikembalikan ke sekolah seluruh negara dan akan membincangkan langkah patut diambil dalam mesyuarat Kabinet.

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...
