Pahang sedia jadi tuan rumah

KUANTAN - Pahang bersiap sedia untuk menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) ke-14 yang dijadual berlangsung pada 2012.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia dan Sukan negeri, Datuk Wan Adnan Wan Mamat berkata, segala persiapan telah diatur sebaik sahaja Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) membuat keputusan tersebut pada awal April lalu.
"Kami sudah bersedia. Kepercayaan kali kedua yang diberikan kerajaan melalui Kementerian Belia dan Sukan akan dilaksanakan sebaik mungkin," katanya ketika dihubungi di sini, semalam.

Kelmarin, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak menutup Sukma XIII di Melaka dan menyerahkan bendera Sukma kepada Menteri Besar Pahang, Datuk Seri Adnan Yaakob sebagai tanda Pahang bakal menjadi tuan rumah temasya sukan dwi tahunan itu.

Pemilihan itu merupakan kali kedua selepas Pahang menganjurkannya kali pertama pada 1996.
Menurut Wan Adnan, bagi tujuan itu kerajaan negeri memperuntukkan sebanyak kira-kira RM300 juta sebagai perbelanjaan persiapan untuk membina dan menaik taraf stadium serta kemudahan sukan.
"Sebuah stadium tertutup akan dibina di Tanjung Lumpur di di sini, stadium hoki yang baru di sebelah Stadim Hoki Wisma Belia, Indera Mahkota dan lapang sasar menembak serta gelanggang silat di Temerloh," katanya.

Beliau memberitahu, beberapa kemudahan sedia ada seperti kolam renang, stadium tertutup, Stadium Darul Makmur dan balapan olahraga akan dinaik taraf untuk persediaan temasya itu.

"Kita akan menggunakan bajet yang disediakan bagi membaiki, membina dan menaik taraf fasiliti sukan di Pahang sebagai persiapan penganjuran Sukma ke-14 itu," katanya.

Bagaimanapun, tambahnya, pihaknya belum menetapkan jumlah acara yang bakal dipertandingkan namun menganggarkan ia bersamaan dengan Melaka iaitu kira-kira 33 acara padang dan balapan pada Sukma 2012 itu.

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...
