PROTON Holdings Berhad terus setia bersama kejohanan lumba basikal Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL).
Semalam syarikat automobil nasional itu menghulu sokongan besar terhadap penganjuran LTdL 2010 apabila tampil menjadi kende- raan rasmi perlumbaan yang akan memasuki edisi ke- 15 pada 1 hingga 7 Mac depan.
Bagi saingan tahun ini Proton Hol- dings Berhad akan menyediakan 180 unit kereta Proton pelbagai model untuk digunakan pegawai perlumbaan, pengurusan pasu- kan dan petugas sepanjang tujuh peringkat LTdL 2010.

Untuk menghangatkan lagi saingan kejohanan ini yang akan bermula di Kota Bharu Isnin depan, Proton menaja Jersi Biru untuk kategori Pelumba Terbaik Asia.

Selain itu, pengeluar kereta nasional tersebut turut menyumbang baju-T dan topi untuk digunakan pegawai perlumbaan selain booth pameran di lokasi permulaan dan penamat serta cenderamata yang akan diagihkan kepada penonton pada perarakan Calvacade.


Dengan deretan kereta Proton pelbagai model di sepanjang lokasi dan laluan yang akan ditempuh pada perlumbaan kali ini, tradisi penglibatan Proton dengan LTdL membuktikan kerjasama erat kedua- dua pihak untuk menjayakan LTdL sejak sekian lama hingga jelajah itu mencapai status tertinggi 2 HC ketika ini.
Ketua Pegawai Kewangan Proton Holding Sdn. Bhd., Azhar Othman menyerahkan penajaan tersebut di Pusat Kecemerlangan Proton di Shah Alam semalam.

Turut hadir ialah Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif LTDL 2010, Mohamed Salleh dan Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM), Abu Samah Wahab.

Dalam ucapannya, Azhar berkata, penajaan Proton untuk LTdL membuktikan syarikat pengeluar kereta nasional itu menyokong agenda sukan peringkat antarabangsa di negara ini.

Menurut beliau, ini kerana ia turut membolehkan Proton mendapat faedah menerusi pengiklanan secara langsung kepada masyarakat di sepanjang laluan yang digunakan pelumba dan masyarakat antarabangsa serta pelancong yang menyaksikan siaran tersebut di kaca televisyen.

"Situasi 'menang-menang' ini jugalah yang membuatkan Proton terus memilih LTdL sebagai antara keutamaannya setiap tahun.

"Proton amat berharap Jersi Biru tajaan kami bagi kategori Pelumba Terbaik Asia akan menambah cabaran dalam perlumbaan ini," kata Azhar.

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...
