Safee sokong liga tempatan kembali guna Awang Import

SUBANG JAYA - Cadangan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) untuk untuk membenarkan khidmat pemain import dalam Liga Malaysia (Liga M) disokong penyerang kebangsaan yang beraksi di Indonesia, Safee Sali.

Safee berpendapat, cadangan FAM itu wajar disokong kerana ia akan merancakkan lagi Liga M, khususnya sambutan penonton ke stadium.

"Saya setuju dengan cadangan FAM itu kerana saya yakin kehadiran pemain import bakal memeriahkan lagi Liga M, malah ia turut menyumbang kepada kehadiran penyokong ke stadium," katanya di sini, kelmarin.
Safee yang pulang ke tanah air selama dua hari, sempat menyertai perlawanan persahabatan bersama para pelajar Akademi Fantasia 9 anjuran Mizi Sports Centre di gelanggang Ferro Futsal, di sini.

Safee yang merupakan duta Mizi Sports Centre turut disertai rakan sepasukan dalam skuad kebangsaan, Aidil Zafuan Abdul Razak dan Zaquan Adha yang juga merupakan duta butik barangan sukan tersebut.
Mengulas mengenai kebimbangan segelintir pihak kononnya kehadiran pemain import bakal menenggelamkan pemain-pemain tempatan, menurut Safee, isu tersebut tidak sewajarnya menjadi pertikaian.

Katanya, ini kerana penyertaan pemain import dalam sesebuah pasukan bakal mewujudkan persaingan sihat dalam arena bola sepak tanah air.

Jelasnya, pemain-pemain muda perlu bekerja keras untuk menonjolkan diri masing-masing, jika mereka mahu mencuri perhatian jurulatih untuk beraksi dalam kesebelasan utama.

"Malah pada awal pembabitan saya dalam sukan bola sepak, saya juga terpaksa bersaing dengan pemain-pemain handalan sebelum mencapai ke tahap ini.

"Jika saya mampu melakukannya, mengapa tidak pemain-pemain muda kerana ia bakal menjadikan Liga M lebih kompetitif dan menarik," ujar pemain Pelita Jaya itu.

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...
