Berkesankah MOM dalam membangunkan sukan negara?

MAJLIS Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) baru saja mengadakan Perhimpunan Agung Tahunan tanpa mencetuskan apa– apa polemik seperti yang berlaku pada pemilihan yang lalu, di mana jawatan presiden MOM hendak dicabar oleh Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim.

Walaupun beliau membatalkan hasrat berkenaan tetapi buat beberapa ketika suasana menjelang pemilihan jawatan MOM mendapat laporan akhbar yang agak meluas.

Pemilihan yang baru lalu berlangsung tanpa diganggu oleh calon–calon yang ingin mencabar jawatan utama MOM, khususnya jawatan Presiden atau jawatan Setiausaha Kehormat yang merupakan dua jawatan penting yang boleh mencorakkan hala tuju MOM.

Hanya penyandang jawatan Timbalan Presiden yang awal–awal lagi menyatakan tidak lagi mahu mempertahankan jawatan ini, penyandang jawatan yang lain semuanya mahu mempertahankan kedudukan masing–masing.

Empat muka baru telah dipilih untuk mengisi jawatan naib presiden, bendahari kehormat serta jawatan Penolong Setiausaha. Yang lainnya adalah muka lama.

Sebenarnya sebelum saya bersara kira–kira enam tahun lalu, saya ditawarkan untuk bertanding dalam salah satu jawatan Naib Presiden.

Namun demikian saya menolaknya oleh kerana saya kurang berminat untuk terlibat secara aktif dalam organisasi sukan selepas persaraan.

Beberapa tahun selepas itu, saya dicadangkan bertanding jawatan Setiausaha Kehormat yang disandang oleh Datuk Sieh Kok Chi.

Ada pihak yang kurang senang dengan beliau dan berpandangan bahawa saya calon yang sesuai untuk menentang dan merebut jawatan tersebut.

Saya juga menolak cadangan tersebut walaupun sudah ada pencalonan.
Saya ada ditanya mengapakah kerap berlaku pergeseran antara MSN sebuah organisasi kerajaan dengan MOM, yang merupakan badan induk persatuan sukan kebangsaan negara kita.

Ada tiga model yang terdapat di dunia ini yang telah ataupun yang masih dipraktis oleh negara–negara dalam memajukan sukan masing–masing.

Majlis atau Jawatankuasa Olimpik wujud untuk mengurus pembangunan sukan negara masing–masing dengan peranan aktif ahli gabungannya yang terdiri dari persatuan sukan kebangsaan.

Kerajaan tidak memainkan peranan aktif dan tidak ada kementerian yang bertanggungjawab mengenai sukan. Ada negara di mana Majlis Olimpiknya hanya memenuhi syarat kewujudannya dan semua urusan membangunkan sukan di negara berkenaan diuruskan oleh kerajaan.

Ada negara pula memberi peranan kepada Majlis Olimpik masing–masing bersama–sama dengan organisasi kerajaan dalam membangunkan sukan.

Negara kita adalah merupakan salah satu daripada negara–negara yang sedemikian.

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...
