MELAKA - Yang Dipertua Negeri, Tun Mohd. Khalil Yaakob mengingatkan setiap atlet yang mewakili Melaka, agar tidak menggunakan dadah terlarang semata-mata ingin merealisasikan sasaran 60 pingat emas pada Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) XIII, yang akan berlangsung dari 10 hingga 19 Jun ini.
Menurut beliau, adalah perkara yang memalukan jika ada di antara atlet dari negeri ini yang didapati positif mengambil dadah terlarang, semata-mata mahu memastikan pingat emas menjadi milik mereka.
''Saya nak ingatkan semua pihak dari atasan hingga ke bawah ,perkara yang paling memalukan jika berlaku atlet didapati positif mengambil dadah. Nanti orang kata Melaka main tipu kerana nak menang.
''Saya tidak mahu ada atlet bertindak macam itu, hanya kerana mereka memikirkan Melaka nak menang 60 pingat emas hingga sanggup mengambil makanan atau vitamin haram mengandungi dadah terlarang.
''Jika ini terjadi, ini adalah perkara yang paling memalukan buat Melaka kerana kerajaan negeri sudah berusaha keras membawa Sukma diadakan di negeri ini, dengan perbelanjaan dikeluarkan," katanya.
Mohd. Khalil berucap pada Majlis Perjumpaan dan jamuan makan tengahari bersama pengurus dan jurulatih kontinjen Sukma XIII di Botanikal Cafe, Ayer Keroh di sini, semalam.

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...

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...
