'Mengapa Misbun tidak respons, itu saya tidak pasti'

KUALA LUMPUR - "Kalau saya jadi Misbun, saya akan pulang ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan dan membimbing (Datuk) Lee Chong Wei sampai Sukan Olimpik 2012,''. Itu kata ketua jurulatih perseorangan negara, Rashid Sidek ketika ditanya mengenai abangnya, Datuk Misbun Sidek.

Rashid mengakui langsung tidak mempunyai petunjuk apakah Misbun sedia menyambung kerjasama dengan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) selepas meletak jawatan pada 31 Disember lalu.
"Pada saya sekarang semua terpulang kepada BAM untuk buat keputusan. Selepas tiga bulan memberi tempoh dan Misbun terus menyepi, sebaiknya BAM sendiri yang memutuskan apa tindakan mereka.
"Mengapa Misbun masih tidak respons? itu saya tidak pasti, mungkin... beliau masih menunggu balasan surat yang pernah diberi kepada Presiden (Datuk Seri Nadzmi Mohd. Salleh) tetapi ia cuma teori saya, tidak pasti betul atau tidak.

"Saya tidak berani komen panjang kerana saya tidak tahu apa yang difikirkan Misbun, beliau tidak pernah menjelaskan kepada saya apa yang diinginkan untuk kembali ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan," katanya ketika ditemui di Stadium Juara, Bukit Kiara semalam.

Rashid mengakui, andai Misbun kembali ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan, keadaan mungkin sudah sedikit berbeza dengan persekitaran yang tidak lagi selesa berbanding dulu selepas semua yang berlaku dalam tempoh tiga bulan ini.

Namun, tegasnya, itu bukan masalah besar yang menghalang jurulatih itu daripada pulang, jika beliau benar-benar mahu kembali.

"Persekitaran mungkin tidak berapa selesa selepas ini, tetapi Misbun boleh meneruskan kerjanya seperti biasa. Saya fikir beliau tidak akan terganggu.
"Bagaimanapun kalau beliau benar-benar mahu balik ke BAM dan bersama Chong Wei, sudah tentu beliau akan respons, kalau bukan sekarang dalam tempoh terdekat, kita lihat saja,'' ujar Rashid lagi.
Ditanya apakah ketiadaan Misbun menjejaskan latihan skuad perseorangan kebangsaan, terutama Chong Wei, Rashid menegaskan, ia sama sekali tidak berlaku.

Jelasnya, mungkin di peringkat awal ketika Misbun mengumumkan tidak mahu memperbaharui kontrak, ia mengejutkan Chong Wei namun selepas tiga bulan, mereka mengharunginya dengan baik.
"Merangkul tiga kejuaraan daripada empat kejohanan dan satu lagi masuk final, ia keputusan yang sangat baik. Saya tidak nampak persiapan Chong Wei untuk Sukan Olimpik terjejas, dia pemain yang profesional dan sudah matang.

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. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level. "The fact is that we have all the characteristics required to be excellent. We must inculcate a strong fighting spirit so that we don't easily surrender,...

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...
