PERTEMUAN Datuk James Selvaraj dengan jurulatih perseorangan negara, Datuk Misbun Sidek yang dijangka berlangsung semalam tidak menjadi kenyataan apabila Pengarah Latihan Prestasi Tinggi itu mengesahkan belum bertemu Misbun.

Sehingga jam 9 malam tadi, James tidak dapat menghubungi Misbun untuk mengatur pertemuan penting itu. James berkata, dia sedia mendengar keluhan dan memberi pandangan jika diperlukan sebelum jurulatih itu bertemu Presiden Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM), Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd Salleh.

James berkata, dia mendapat tahu daripada Jalani Sidek bahawa Misbun mahu bertemunya untuk berkongsi pandangan sebelum bertemu Nadzmi untuk menyelesaikan isu peletakan jawatannya.
“Saya tidak kisah jika Misbun mahu bercakap dengan saya sebagai Pengarah Prestasi Tinggi BAM atau orang yang rapat dengan keluarga beliau,” kata James yang hanya mahu isu itu berakhir.

Hasrat Misbun bertemu James disuarakan pada hari terakhir Terbuka Malaysia, Ahad lalu dan beliau sudah menyatakan kesediaan untuk bertemu Misbun bila-bila masa.


Bagaimanapun, sehingga semalam, pertemuan yang dirancang belum menjadi kenyataan biarpun pada awalnya, mereka berjanji untuk berjumpa kelmarin. Kata James, beliau tidak pasti apa yang bermain di fikiran Misbun ketika ini, tapi sedia mendengar keluhan jurulatih itu.

“Minggu lalu Jalani beritahu ingin bawa Misbun berjumpa saya berkongsi pandangan dan masalah dan saya jawab sedia berjumpa mereka bila-bila masa sama ada sebagai kawan atau Pengarah Prestasi Tinggi BAM.

“Kami sepatutnya bertemu semalam (kelmarin) tetapi pertemuan tidak berlaku dan saya masih tertanya-tanya. Saya cuba menghubungi beliau tetapi gagal. Sekarang (semalam) saya masih menunggu panggilan dari beliau, saya benar-benar mahu membantu jika saya boleh,” kata James yang dihubungi semalam.

Menurut James, keakrabannya dengan keluarga Sidek mendorong beliau untuk berkongsi masalah yang dihadapi Misbun.

Hubungan rapat James dan keluarga Sidek diketahui umum, sejak zaman Misbun, Jalani, Razif dan Rashid masih bergelar pemain lagi. James menjadi pembantu jurulatih kepada Tan Yee Khan ketika membimbing Jalani-Razif muncul juara Seluruh England 1982.

James sendiri bekas pemain handalan negara sekitar 1970an dan dihormati anak-anak Sidek. Antara pencapaian hebat beliau adalah meraih gangsa pada Sukan SEA 1977, naib juara Piala Thomas 1976 di Bangkok dan gangsa sukan Komanwel 1978 di Edmonton.

Krisis Misbun dijangka berakhir sebaik jurulatih itu bertemu Nadzmi selepas ahli Majlis BAM yang bermesyuarat minggu lalu, sebulat suara memberi mandat penuh kepada presiden mereka untuk membuat keputusan hasil rundingan dengan Misbun.

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...
