Terengganu Import Jurulatih Bagi Pertahan Sukma 2012


KUALA TERENGGANU, 21 Jun (Bernama) -- Majlis Sukan Negeri Terengganu (MSNT) merancang akan mengambil jurulatih dari luar negara bagi menghadapi Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) Kuantan 2012 nanti.

Pengarahnya Rosdi Awang berkata ia bertujuan memastikan Terengganu terus unggul dan menjadi juara buat kali keempat berturut-turut.

"Kita akan mengimport jurulatih dari China atau Rusia terutamanya bagi sukan-sukan yang tidak kurang menyerlah pada Sukma Melaka seperti sukan menembak, memanah dan gimnastik," katanya kepada Bernama di sini Isnin.

Dalam kejohanan Sukma ke-13 di Melaka, Terengganu sekali lagi dinobatkan sebagai juara selepas meraih 47 pingat emas, 30 perak dan 43 gangsa manakala Selangor muncul naib juara dengan meraih 43 emas, 43 perak dan 58 gangsa.

Pada Sukma di Terengganu pada 2008, Terengganu meraih 61 emas, 39 perak dan 47 gangsa.

Rosdi berkata Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia dan Sukan negeri Datuk Rahin Mohd Said telah mengarahkan MSNT mengenalpasti jurulatih-jurulatih berpotensi dari luar negara itu.

Selain itu, beliau berkata MSNT akan memperkemaskan balik persatuan- persatuan sukan yang tidak menyumbangkan pingat pada Sukma Melaka supaya lebih berwibawa.

Rosdi berkata selain itu, sukan yang menyumbang emas seperti lumba basikal, silat, olahraga dan lain-lain akan dipantau bagi memastikan prestasinya kekal.

Beliau berkata Terengganu mempunyai ramai barisan pelapis dan ia memberi kelebihan walaupun ramai di antara atlet-atlet yang akan meninggalkan Terengganu pada Sukma akan datang kerana faktor usia.

"Dua tahun lagi tidak lama, jadi kita mesti membuat perancangan lebih awal bagi memastikan atlet-atlet kita sentiasa berada dalam keadaan baik," katanya.

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...
