Tengku Kamil minta dia undur jika tak sehaluan dengan Presiden BAM

SETIAUSAHA Kehormat Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), P Ganga Rao harus meletakkan jawatan dengan cara terhormat, seandainya tidak lagi mendapat kepercayaan atau menjalin hubungan baik dengan presidennya, Datuk Nadzmi Salleh.

Timbalan Presiden BAM, Tengku Kamil Ismail Tengku Idris Shah, berkata langkah Ganga itu mungkin jalan terbaik menyelesaikan kemelut yang menggoncang badan induk terbabit pada ketika ia masih bermegah dengan kejayaan Lee Chong Wei meraih gelaran perseorangan di Seluruh England.


“Ganga perlu letak jawatan andai tidak lagi dapat bekerjasama dengan Presiden BAM,” kata Tengku Kamil yang ditemui pemberita mengenai laporan Setiausaha Kehormat BAM itu digantung jawatannya berkuatkuasa serta merta, kelmarin. “Tetapi ia perlu dilakukan dengan cara terhormat. Apa yang penting ialah persediaan negara untuk Piala Thomas, Mei ini, tidak terjejas.”

Tengku Kamil, yang akan memangku jawatan Presiden BAM selama sebulan bermula, hari ini apabila Nadzmi berangkat ke Jerman untuk menjalani rawatan kesihatan, berkata dia tidak tahu menahu isu penggantungan Ganga.

“Saya tidak tahu dan tidak dimaklumkan oleh Presiden,” kata Nadzmi. “Oleh itu selagi belum ada surat rasmi daripada Presiden dan BAM, Ganga masih lagi dianggap sebagai Setiausaha Kehormat.

“Apapun, saya perlu menghormati keputusan beliau. Namun saya berpendapat adalah lebih baik sekiranya perkara itu, jika benar, dibawa berbincang bersama exco sekalipun presiden mempunyai kuasa penuh dalam pelantikan dan penggantungan setiausaha kehormat,” katanya

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...
