Mohd. Yasin Salleh

KUALA LUMPUR – Bekas Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Mohd. Yasin Salleh dilantik Pesuruhjaya Sukan yang baru menggantikan Datuk Nik Mahmud Nik Yusuf yang tamat kontraknya, Khamis lalu.

Mohd. Yasin yang menerima tawaran untuk jawatan tersebut pada 6 Oktober lalu akan mula bertugas pada November ini.
Bagaimanapun tarikh sebenar masih belum ditetapkan kerana beliau mahu menguruskan segala urusan peribadinya terlebih dahulu.

Mohd. Yasin yang dihubungi Utusan Malaysia berkata, ketika ini masih terlalu baru baginya untuk bercakap tentang perancangan.
Beliau bagaimanapun akan memaklumkan apa jua rancangan masa depannya sebagai Pesuruhjaya Sukan sebaik sahaja mula bertugas kelak.

‘‘Saya telah memberi jawapan pada surat tawaran yang saya terima pada dua minggu lalu dan saya akan mula bertugas pada November ini.
‘‘Tarikh tepat untuk saya mula bertugas masih tidak diketahui lagi kerana saya memohon penangguhan daripada tarikh asal kerana mahu menguruskan hal berkaitan persaraan saya dahulu,’’ katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, semalam.

Mohd. Yasin bersara sebagai Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Belia dan Sukan pada 21 Ogos lalu.
Penyandang jawatan terdahulu, Nik Mahmud, 61, tidak melanjutkan kontraknya kerana mahu memberi tumpuan kepada keluarga setelah berkhidmat sebagai penjawat awam selama 37 tahun.

Kontrak Nik Mahmud sepatutnya tamat pada Jun lepas tetapi disambung sehingga 14 Oktober lalu.
Nik Mahmud dilantik sebagai Pesuruhjaya Sukan menggantikan Tan Sri Elyas Omar pada April 2008.
Sepanjang menyandang jawatan itu, Nik Mahmud menyelesaikan banyak kes membabitkan persatuan sukan termasuk kemelut Persatuan Taekwondo Malaysia yang bermula sejak 2005.

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...

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...
