Penggantungan Ganga cetus kontroversi baru



TIMBALAN Presiden Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Tengku Kamil Ismail Tengku Idris Shah ternyata terkejut dengan penggantungan Ganga Rao sebagai Setiausaha BAM kelmarin.

Menurut Tengku Kamil, beliau tidak tahu menahu mengenai penggantungan tersebut.

Kelmarin, beberapa akhbar melaporkan Presiden BAM, Datuk Nadzmi Salleh telah menggantung Ganga daripada tugasnya serta-merta disebabkan beberapa salah laku termasuk mengenai isu penajaan baru-baru ini.

Malah menurut sumber, Nadzmi juga telah memaklumkan keputusannya untuk menggantung Ganga kepada semua Exco BAM.

"Saya tidak tahu daripada mana timbul cerita ini," kata Tengku Kamil ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.
"Saya hanya mengetahui perkara ini melalui akhbar. Sebagai timbalan presiden, saya sendiri terkejut dengan laporan ini.


"Setahu saya, sehingga kini (semalam) tiada sebarang surat yang telah dikeluarkan oleh BAM. Saya hairan bagaimana isu ini boleh timbul dan siapa sumber akhbar-akhbar ini.

"Oleh itu, selagi belum mendapat pengesahan daripada presiden sendiri dan sehingga surat belum dikeluarkan, saya anggap ini hanyalah satu khabar angin semata-mata."

Tengku Kamil turut mengakui, selain dirinya sendiri, semua Exco BAM yang lain juga tidak tahu menahu mengenai penggantungan Ganga.

"Memang saya akui, sebagai Presiden BAM, Nadzmi mempunyai hak untuk untuk meme- cat setiausaha tetapi seelok- eloknya biarlah perkara ini dibincangkan bersama semua Exco," tambah Kamil.

"Menurut laporan, presiden telah menghubungi semua Exco untuk memberitahu perkara ini tetapi selain saya, semua Exco yang lain juga tidak tahu menahu mengenai hal ini.

"Malah mereka sendiri menghubungi saya untuk mendapatkan kepastian."

Sementara itu, Ganga mendakwa, beliau tidak menerima sebarang surat mengenai penggantungan tugasnya dan hanya menyedari laporan ini selepas dihubungi oleh rakannya.

"Buat masa ini, saya tidak terima sebarang maklumat daripada presiden," kata Ganga.

"Saya tiada sebab untuk bertemu dengan presiden kerana tiada sebarang surat kecuali jika presiden sendiri ingin bertemu dengan saya.

"Lebih baik saya tunggu dan lihat demi kepentingan BAM sendiri."

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...
