PSM terpaksa tangguh AGM


AHMAD ISMAIL


PERSATUAN Sepak Takraw Malaysia (PSM) akhirnya terpaksa menangguhkan mesyuarat agung tahunannya (AGM).

Sebelum ini, PSM dijadual mengadakan AGM untuk memilih jawatankuasa baru bagi penggal 2010 hingga 2013 di Petaling Jaya esok.

Namun, disebabkan terdapat beberapa pihak yang tidak berpuas hati dan sanggup menggunakan injuksi mahkamah bagi menghalang proses pemilihan tersebut, PSM telah menangguhkan AGM itu demi kebaikan ahli gabungan mereka.

"AGM PSM yang dijadualkan berlangsung pada 28 Mac ini (esok) terpaksa ditangguhkan dahulu sehingga kepada satu tarikh yang akan ditetapkan kemudian," kata Presiden PSM, Datuk Ahmad Ismail pada sidang akhbar di Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Bukit Jalil semalam.

"Saya sedih kerana masih ada individu atau pihak lain yang suka sangat merosakkan agenda dan imej PSM sejak zaman Tan Sri Khir Johari lagi.

"Oleh sebab itu, demi menjaga ahli gabungan dan nama baik PSM, kami sebulat suara bersetuju menangguhkan seketika AGM," katanya lagi.


Begitupun, Ahmad menjelaskan bahawa Mesyuarat Tertinggi (MT) PSM yang dijadualkan berlangsung malam ini di Petaling Jaya akan tetap diteruskan.

"MT PSM akan tetap dijalankan pada malam esok (malam ini) dan agenda utama yang dibincangkan nanti ialah mengenai perlembagaan mana yang akan dipakai pada sesi pemilihan jawatan bagi penggal 2010 hingga 2013.

"Saya ingin jelaskan bahawa PSM menggunakan perlembagaan baru untuk menjemput perwakilan sahaja tetapi tetap menggunakan perlembagaan lama pada AGM pemilihan itu nanti," kata Ahmad.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Ahmad berkata, beliau yang akan mempertahankan jawatan selaku presiden PSM bagi peng- gal ketiga berturut-turut bersedia dicabar mana-mana pihak pada pemilihan itu nanti.

Bagaimanapun, beliau berharap tiada perpecahan dan persengketaan tercetus akibat polemik yang dicipta indi- vidu tertentu.

"Jangan paksa MT mengambil tindakan ke atas indi- vidu terbabit. MT boleh mengenakan tindakan disiplin tetapi kami juga sedar tentang jasanya kepada PSM dan sukan takraw kita.

"Kalau tidak setuju, kita berbincang cara baik, tidak elok melibatkan mahkamah kerana ia menunjukkan perpecahan dan sikap berpuak- puak dalam PSM.

"Kalau individu ini teruskan juga (untuk melibatkan hal ini ke mahkamah), kami akan mengambil tindakan disiplin ke atasnya," kata Ahmad.

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...
