Tahap keselamatan terjamin


ABDUL HALIL (kiri) meluangkan masa bertemu atlet-atlet memanah negara yang akan beraksi pada Sukan Komanwel 2010 di Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur semalam.

ATLET negara ke Sukan Komanwel 2010 pada Oktober depan tidak perlu bimbang soal keselamatan kerana pihak berkuasa di New Delhi memberi jaminan terhadap aspek tersebut sepanjang temasya sukan itu berlangsung.

Demikian jelas ketua kontinjen negara, Tan Sri Abdul Halil Abdul Mutalib ketika melawat persiapan atlet negara di perkampung sukan di Bukit Jalil semalam.

Katanya, atlet tidak seharusnya membiarkan perkara itu mengganggu tumpuan mereka kepada latihan, sebaliknya menyerahkan soal keselamatan kepada pengurusan kontinjen untuk memantaunya.
Menurutnya jika soal kesela- matan menjadi serius, kerajaan melalui Wisma Putra pasti memberi nasihat.
"Sehingga kini kami belum lagi menerima sebarang nasihat atau amaran dari New Delhi, hos bagi Sukan Komanwel ke-19 yang akan berlangsung pada 3 hingga 14 Oktober depan.

"Kita sentiasa memantau tahap keselamatan di sana termasuk meminta nasihat daripada pihak Kedutaan Malaysia di India. Sehingga kini, kita difahamkan segala-galanya lancar," katanya.

Isu keselamatan semasa temasya tersebut timbul berikutan banyak ancaman pihak tertentu untuk menggagalkan penganjurannya tetapi Jawatankuasa Penganjur Sukan Komanwel 2010 New Delhi (OCCWG) memberi jaminan mengenai tahap keselamatan di negara tersebut adalah terkawal.

Terbaru ialah ancaman dari- pada Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), satu kumpulan puak pemisah Sikh yang didakwa mungkin menimbulkan kekacauan di New Delhi semasa Sukan Komanwel itu kelak.

Abdul Halil berkata, dua pegawai Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) kini berada di New Delhi untuk mengikuti seminar keselamatan sempena temasya itu serta mendapat maklumat terkini berkenaan isu tersebut.
"Biarkan pihak berkuasa menentukan tahap keselamatan di negara tersebut.

"Yang penting atlet jangan terpengaruh dengan segala khabar sehingga menjejaskan lati- han harian," 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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
