Peningkatan Penajaan Petunjuk Industri Sukan Semakin Maju

KUALA LUMPUR, 28 Okt (Bernama) -- Penglibatan lebih banyak syarikat swasta dalam penajaan sukan memberi petunjuk bahawa industri sukan negara sedang menuju ke arah perkembangan yang lebih baik.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata syarikat swasta kini melihat penajaan tersebut bukan lagi sekadar tanggungjawab sosial tetapi sebagai pelaburan pemasaran.

"Mereka (syarikat swasta) meletakkan nama mereka pada acara-acara sukan yang dapat mengembangkan pasaran mereka, perbezaan pendekatan inilah sesuatu yang perlu kita galakkan," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Konvensyen Industri Sukan Malaysia (KISMAS) 2010 di sini Khamis.

Selain itu, beliau berkata penganjuran kejohanan sukan bertaraf antarabangsa turut membantu perkembangan industri tersebut.

"Penganjuran sesuatu sukan contohnya kejohanan badminton, meskipun kalah, kita mendapat faedah dari satu sudut yang lain iaitu dapat mempopularkan nama negara.

"Atau kejohanan sepak takraw, walaupun kita kalah tapi kita dapat mempromosikan produk kita Gajah Emas (bola takraw)," katanya.

Terdahulu dalam ucapan perasmian konvensyen itu, Ahmad Shabery menyeru usahawan tempatan supaya segera memasarkan produk berkaitan sukan, khususnya bola sepak takraw, ke peringkat antarabangsa.

"Seperti Indonesia mereka merupakan pengeluar bulu tangkis utama. Jika kita tidak mengambil peluang memasarkan produk kita, tidak mustahil negara besar seperti China pada masa akan datang akan mendominasi pasaran tersebut," katanya.

Beliau berkata kerajaan juga kini dalam usaha menjadikan persatuan-persatuan sukan sebagai badan yang mampu berdiri sendiri dan tidak perlu bergantung kepada bantuan kerajaan.

Perancangan jangka masa panjang itu, katanya amat berkait rapat dengan perkembangan industri sukan di negara ini.

Lebih 300 peserta menghadiri konvensyen yang diadakan kali kedua dan antara lain bertujuan memberikan pendedahan dan maklumat terkini mengenai strategi industri sukan negara selaras dengan Model Baru Ekonomi.

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...
