SELEPAS tampil cemerlang pada Kejo- hanan Lumba Basikal Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) 2010 baru-baru ini, pelumba sensasi negara, Anuar Manan ada satu lagi misi penting.

Dengan reputasinya sebagai Raja Pecut LTdL 2010, Anuar sudah pasti mahu mengekalkan statusnya itu dengan memburu gelaran juara acara lebuh raya Ke- juaraan Berbasikal Asia (ACC) 2010 di Dubai pada 8 hingga 17 April depan.

"Sudah pasti saya mahu memenangi acara lebuh raya pada ACC di Dubai nanti dan itulah misi utama saya selepas ini," kata Anuar di Bukit Jalil semalam.


"Saya sedar misi ini bukan mudah untuk dilaksanakan dan pelumba Asia yang lain pasti memberi tumpuan terhadap saya pada saingan tersebut nanti.

"Begitupun, kejayaan saya pada LTdL baru-baru ini banyak menyuntikan semangat dan keyakinan dalam diri saya sendiri. Jadi saya rasa tiada yang musta- hil di Dubai nanti sekiranya saya menge- kalkan prestasi terbaik ketika ini," ujarnya lagi.

Menurut Anuar, sebagai persiapan beraksi pada ACC 2010, dia akan menyertai Jelajah Thailand yang akan bermula 1 hingga 6 April depan.

"Pada Jelajah Thailand nanti, saya tidak sasarkan untuk menang tetapi lebih kepada mengekalkan stamina.
"Saya tidak akan mengerah sepenuh tenaga di Thailand kerana mahu menyimpan tenaga pada ACC di Dubai yang berlangsung dua hari selepas itu," kata Anuar.

Pada LTdL 2010, Anuar mencipta sejarah tersendiri apabila menjuarai peringkat kelima dari Muar ke Port Dickson selain meraih gelaran Raja Pecut (Jersi Hijau) dengan mengumpul 103 mata sepanjang tujuh peringkat saingan itu.

Hasil kejayaannya pada LTdL 2010, pelumba berusia 24 tahun itu menerima ganjaran berjumlah RM10,000 daripada tiga organisasi pada majlis penyampaian insentif di Bukit Jalil semalam.

Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) menyumbang sebanyak RM5,000, Kencana Resources Sdn. Bhd. (RM3,000) dan Genting Malaysia Berhad (RM2,000).

"Saya berterima kasih di atas segala penghargaan yang diberikan kepada saya ini. Nampaknya segala usaha keras saya selama ini ada ganjarannya," jelas Anuar.

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...
