Habuan tambahan emas Olimpik

TM tawar imbuhan RM100,000 sebagai pembakar semangat atlit

ATLIT negara yang meraih pingat emas di Sukan Olimpik London 2012 bakal menerima tambahan RM100,000 daripada RM1 juta ditawarkan di bawah Skim Hadiah Kemenangan Sukan (Shakam) susulan persetujuan Telekom Malaysia Bhd (TM) memberi imbuhan berkenaan.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, ketika mengumumkan perkara itu berkata kesudian TM menawarkan imbuhan tambahan kepada pemenang emas Olimpik London itu boleh menjadi pembakar semangat untuk atlit negara merangkul emas pertama.

“Ini juga satu lagi kejayaan usaha membabitkan pihak swasta dalam membantu kerajaan memaju dan membangunkan sukan negara,” katanya kepada pemberita selepas menyaksikan majlis menandatangani perjanjian persefahaman (MoU) antara TM, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) serta melancarkan “Team Malaysia” di Kuala Lumpur, semalam.

MoU itu dimeterai Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan TM, Datuk Seri Zamzairani Mohd Isa bagi pihak TM, manakala MSN dan MOM masing-masing diwakili Ketua Pengarah MSN, Datuk Zolkples Embong dan Presiden MOM, Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Jaafar.

MoU itu bagi memulakan kempen sukan TM yang dinamakan Team Malaysia yang bertujuan menghimpunkan sokongan peminat sukan di Malaysia kepada atlit negara tanpa mengira bangsa, agama, jantina dan umur. Menerusi MoU itu juga, TM diberi hak ekslusif ke atas jersi Panthera MSN dan juga Lingkaran Olimpik yang terkenal untuk digunakan sepanjang kempen Team Malaysia termasuk dalam aktiviti pemasaran dan promosi, cenderamata serta hak perniagaan untuk menghasilkan dan mengedarkan barangan yang mempunyai logo MSN dan MOM.

“Sebelum ini sudah ada diperkenal jersi untuk menyokong sukan negara tetapi sambutannya kurang menggalakkan dan sekarang kita mahu jadikan jersi Panthera Team Malaysia ini sebagai fesyen baru menyatakan sokongan terhadap pasukan negara yang bertanding dalam apa juga kejohanan sukan,” kata Ahmad Shabery.

Jesi Panthera Team Malaysia terdapat dalam saiz dewasa dan kanak-kanak dan boleh didapati di premis TMpoint terpilih serta di acara dan siri jelajah TM pada harga RM79.90 sehelai dan harga online istimewa iaitu RM69.90 bagi pembelian menerusi laman web korporat TM iaitu www.tm.net.my, TM Rewards (www,tmrewards.com.my) dan Everyone Connects (www.everyoneconnects.net) mulai hari ini.

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...
