Kecoh bukan punca gagal

MELAKA - Persatuan Perahu Layar Melaka Bandaraya Bersejarah (PPBM) mengakui berlaku perselisihan faham di antara ibu bapa atlet dengan pengurusan persatuan sewaktu berlangsungnya Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) XIII yang berakhir Sabtu lalu.

Setiausaha PPBM, Ahmad Hambali berkata, masalah itu timbul kerana ada beberapa ibu bapa merasa tidak puas hati apabila anak mereka tidak terpilih mewakili Melaka dalam acara perahu layar yang berlangsung di Pusat Perahu Layar di Pengkalan Balak.

Ekoran daripada itu, ibu bapa atlet yang tidak terpilih telah menimbulkan kekecohan walaupun sudah dimaklumkan bahawa mengenai prosedur pemilihan atlet untuk mewakili Melaka adalah berdasarkan prestasi semasa dan rekod terkini.


"Ini sebenarnya yang terjadi. Masalah ini sebenarnya kecil tetapi ibu bapa atlet sengaja membesar- besarkan masalah ini seolah-olah ia menjadi punca atlet perahu layar sekadar meraih pingat perak di Sukma.
"Walaupun sudah dimaklumkan mengenai kriteria pemilihan tetapi ibu bapa atlet masih tidak faham dan mereka tetap mahu PPBM menyenaraikan anak mereka.
"Macam mana kita nak pilih kalau hanya lima atlet yang akan mewakili Melaka daripada senarai 20 pelayar," katanya ketika dihubungi semalam.

Beliau berkata demikian mengulas mengenai laporan akhbar Utusan kelmarin mengenai timbul kekecohan apabila ada atlet berpengalaman bersama skuad kebangsaan diketepikan dalam senarai mewakili negeri itu.
Mengulas lanjut Ahmad berkata, kegagalan Melaka menepati sasaran untuk menyumbang pingat emas dalam acara perahu layar bukan berpunca daripada kekecohan yang berlaku.

Sebaliknya kata beliau, antara faktor kegagalan pelayar Melaka yang diterajui atlet kebangsaan, Mohd. Khairul Ridzuan Ahmad Khambali untuk meraih pingat emas berpunca daripada kelewatan peralatan layar.
Beliau berkata, ekoran daripada kelewatan peralatan layar yang hanya tiba seminggu sebelum temasya dwi tahunan itu bermula menyebabkan pelayar Melaka tidak cukup menjalani latihan menghadapi temasya itu.
"Masalah kelewatan itu bukan berpunca daripada sekretariat Sukma tetapi kepada syarikat yang diberi tanggungjawab membeli peralatan tersebut," ujarnya.

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...
