Bayar secara ansuran - Kok Chi


Kok Chi meminta persatuan-persatuan yang masih berhutang dengan MOM agar menjelaskannya secara ansuran.


MAJLIS Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) yakin semua persatuan sukan yang berhutang dengannya mampu menjelaskan hutang tersebut yang kini berjumlah RM200,000, sebelum hujung tahun ini.

Setiausaha Kehormat MOM, Datuk Sieh Kok Chi berkata, hutang tersebut terutama yang melibatkan kos bagi menanggung perbelanjaan atlet di bawah kategori B, boleh di- jelaskan secara ansuran.

"Sebenarnya isu lambat jelas hutang telah lama timbul iaitu sejak tahun 1960-an lagi, namun ia telah dijelaskan kecuali hutang bagi tahun 2009," katanya ketika dihubu- ngi semalam.

Kok Chi berkata, kecuali hutang pada 2009, semua persatuan sudah menjelaskannya secara ansuran selepas berbincang dengan MOM.

Beliau berkata demikian apabila diminta mengulas mengenai tunggakan hutang sebanyak RM200,000 yang terpaksa ditanggung oleh MOM akibat sikap liat persatuan membayar balik kos pembelanjaan atlet mereka ketika mengikuti Sukan SEA di Laos.

Mengikut peraturan MOM, semua perbelanjaan atlet yang layak secara merit ke sesuatu temasya akan ditanggung oleh MOM tetapi atlet yang tidak layak tetapi diberi peluang beraksi, diletakkan di bawah kategori B.

Atlet kategori B perlu membayar balik segala perbelanjaan yang biasanya ditanggung oleh MOM, kecuali jika mereka mendapat sekurang-kurangnya pingat perak.

Sieh berkata, sehingga kini lima persatuan sukan telah menjelaskan hutang mereka dan MOM yakin persatuan yang masih berhutang akan berbuat demikian dalam masa terdekat.

Beliau bagaimanapun enggan mendedahkan nama persatuan yang masih berhutang dengan MOM.
Ditanya mengenai sikap selektif MOM yang mendedahkan hutang Kesatuan Olahraga Amatur Malaysia (KOAM) tetapi tidak yang lain, Kok Chi berkata, MOM meminta kesatuan membayar hutang tersebut kerana tahu badan induk olahraga itu mempunyai kemampuan untuk menjelaskannya.

Mengulas mengenai cadangan yang diberikan oleh bekas Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Datuk Wira Mazlan Ahmad agar MOM melupuskan sistem kategori B, beliau berkata, perkara tersebut perlu dikaji dan dibincangkan oleh lembaga MOM terlebih dahulu.

"Oleh kerana isu ini telah lama dipertikaikan, kita perlu membuat kajian secara teliti sebelum membuat apa-apa keputusan mengenainya," katanya. - Bernama

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...

Govt Always Gives Emphasis To Sporting Culture, Says PM

KUALA TERENGGANU, May 29 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badaw i said the government always gives emphasis on cultivating a strong sporting culture in achieving excellence at the international level. 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. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level. "The fact is that we have all the characteristics required to be excellent. We must inculcate a strong fighting spirit so that we don't easily surrender,...

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...
