Menteri arah siasat


AZIZULHASNI mengerang kesakitan selepas betis kirinya ditusuk serpihan kayu pada Kejohanan Trek Berbasikal Siri Piala Dunia di Manchester, London minggu lalu.

PERSEKUTUAN Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) dan Kesatuan Berbasikal Antarabangsa (UCI) akan menyiasat punca kemalangan yang menimpa jaguh keirin negara, Mohd. Azizulhasni Awang ketika menyertai Kejohanan Trek Berbasikal Siri Piala Dunia di Manchester, London minggu lalu.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, ini kerana ia membabitkan faktor keselamatan.
"Saya serah kepada pihak persatuan (PKBM) dan pihak UCI untuk membuat siasatan terhadap perkara ini kerana ia lebih kepada keselamatan bagi velodrom itu, sama ada terdapat unsur kecuaian dan kelemahan atau bentuk kemalangan yang boleh berlaku pada bila-bila masa," kata Shabery di Jasin, Melaka semalam.

Beliau diminta mengulas insiden betis kiri Azizulhasni ditusuk serpihan kayu sepanjang 20 sentimeter ketika menyertai acara final keirin pada kejohanan tersebut.

Bagaimanapun, Azizulhasni yang menjadi sandaran meraih pingat emas pertama Malaysia pada Sukan Olimpik 2012 di London, berjaya menamatkan perlumbaan dan meraih pingat gangsa.
Menyentuh perkembangan terkini Azizulhasni, Shabery berkata, walaupun kecederaan yang dialami memerlukan masa untuk pulih, namun pelumba yang terkenal dengan gelaran The Pocket Rocketman itu boleh beraksi pada Kejohanan Dunia di Apeldoorn, Belanda bulan depan jika pakar memberikan 'lampu hijau'.

"Tiada sebab untuk kita menghalang orang yang begitu bersemangat sepertinya untuk terus bertarung," katanya.


Beliau berkata, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak akan me- ngadakan lawatan rasmi ke Australia pada Mac ini dan beliau dijangka menjenguk Azizulhasni di Melbourne yang kini menjalani proses pemulihan.

"Saya percaya lawatan Perdana Menteri akan memberi suntikan baru kepada Azizulhasni kerana ketika dalam kesakitan dan tidak sedarkan diri pada hari kemalangan, apa yang keluar dari mulutnya ialah dia hendak menjadi juara Olimpik dan dia bimbang tidak dapat menyertainya.

"Dia tetap hendak jadi nombor 1 kerana atas nama 'Saya orang Malaysia' dan 'Saya mahu menaikkan nama Malaysia'... inilah semangat Mohd. Azizulhasni Awang," kata Shabery.

Terdahulu, Shabery merasmikan pertandingan Bola Sepak 7 Sebelah yang berlangsung di Sekolah Kebangsaan Chinchin, Jasin serta meluluskan peruntukan RM30,000 untuk kemudahan padang awam sekolah itu. - 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...

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...
