Selain itu, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia bagi acara mendayung, Universiti Teknologi Mara (bola sepak), Universiti Utara Malaysia (golf) dan Universiti Malaysia Sabah (taekwondo).

"PKS ini berperanan untuk memperkemaskan lagi sistem pengurusan sukan di IPT dari segi pengurusan atlet, infrastruktur dan program kecemerlangan sukan," katanya selepas melancarkan Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM) sebagai Pusat Sukan Tumpuan (PST) Pencak Silat di Johor Bahru semalam.



Menurutnya, IPT yang mempunyai fakulti pengajian sains sukan diberi tumpuan khusus dalam pembangunan PKS kerana mampu melaksanakan pelbagai kajian dan penyelidikan berkaitan sukan.

Program PKS yang merupakan sebahagian daripada Dasar Pembangunan Sukan IPT itu bertujuan merealisasikan hasrat kerajaan melahirkan 30 peratus atlet negara dari kalangan pelajar IPT menjelang 2015.

Dalam pada itu, UTHM telah menandatangani memorandum persefahaman (MoU) dengan Persekutuan Silat Kebangsaan (Pesaka) bagi menjalinkan kerjasama dalam menggerak dan membangunkan aktiviti sukan pencak silat.

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...
