'Tak perlu timbul isu'


SIMBOLIK... Ketua Eksekutif Chelsea, Ron Gourlay (kanan) menyampaikan jersi Chelsea kepada Tengku Abdullah pada majlis pengumuman Jelajah Pra Musim Chelsea 2011/2012 ke Malaysia di Hotel One World, Bandar Utama semalam.


SEGALA pelantikan bagi jawatan pengerusi jawatankuasa-jawatankuasa tetap Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) oleh Sultan Ahmad Shah pada Isnin lalu sepatut- nya tidak dijadikan isu.

Terdahulu, terdapat suara-suara sumbang mendakwa Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tan Sri Annuar Musa seolah-olah tidak diberikan jawatankuasa sepadan dengan kredibilitinya yang telah terbukti berjaya sebagai Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA).

Bagaimanapun, seorang lagi Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah berkata, kesemua 15 anggota Jawatankuasa Eksekutif FAM pada mesyuarat itu telah pun bersetuju dengan semua pelantikan tersebut tanpa sebarang bantahan.

"Saya rasa tidak menjadi isu kerana saya sendiri pun sepatutnya pegang tiga jawatankuasa tetapi saya lepaskan satu dan kini hanya pegang Jawatankuasa Teknikal dan Jawatankuasa Pertandingan Antarabangsa.
"Bagi Tan Sri Annuar pula, beliau dilantik Pengerusi Jawatankuasa MSL (Liga Super Malaysia). MSL satu badan korporat yang penting. Banyak kerja perlu diuruskan, banyak masa dan tenaga digunakan perlu digunakan.

"Beliau juga dilantik Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Bola Sepak Wanita. Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (FIFA) pun kini memberi ruang buat bola sepak wanita dan berdasarkan potensi itu, kita tidak harus ketinggalan.

"Selain itu, beliau turut dilantik sebagai timbalan pengurus skuad kebangsaan dan itu juga satu tanggungjawab yang berat.

"Jadi memandangkan Tan Sri Annuar telah setuju dan terima pelantikan tersebut, maka sekarang ini tiba masa untuk kami semua buat kerja," kata Tengku Abdullah pada majlis pengumuman Jelajah Pra Musim Chelsea 2011/2012 ke Malaysia di Hotel One World, Bandar Utama semalam.

Annuar yang turut ditemui pada majlis sama enggan ditemu ramah, sebaliknya hanya memberitahu, beliau akan mengadakan satu sidang media khas dalam beberapa hari lagi.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Tengku Abdullah yang juga Presiden Persatuan Hoki Malaysia (PHM) berkata, beliau hanya akan mengekalkan jawatan dalam badan hoki kebangsaan itu jika khidmatnya masih diperlukan para perwakilan.

"Tetapi saya rasa pihak PHM sedang berusaha untuk tidak melepaskan saya. Dalam mesyuarat akan datang ini, mereka bakal bincang untuk menukar perlembagaan persatuan dengan tempoh pemilihan setiap tiga atau empat tahun berbanding dua tahun ketika ini.

"Mungkin mereka rasa saya boleh beri sumbangan kepada hoki tetapi bola sepak tetap dekat di hati saya manakala hoki merupakan sukan yang baru saya libat- kan diri dan masih mencari kestabilan," jelas Tengku Abdullah lagi.

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...
