FAM silap percaturan

DILEMA yang dihadapi jurulatih skuad Olimpik negara, Ong Kim Swee apabila anak buahnya terpaksa menempuh jadual padat November depan tidak seharusnya berlaku jika Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) menyediakan dua pasukan berbeza bagi Sukan Sea Indonesia dan pusingan ketiga kelayakan Sukan Olimpik London 2012.

Pengkritik sukan, Serbegeth Singh berpendapat, tindakan FAM menyerahkan tanggung jawab kepada skuad Olimpik untuk mengharungi kedua-dua kejohanan itu dalam masa terdekat adalah tidak logik.

ā€œFAM kena buat pilihan sama ada untuk mengutamakan Sukan Sea atau pusingan kelayakan Olimpik. Tapi sebenarnya kenapa perlu membuat pilihan? Kenapa tidak FAM menyediakan pasukan berbeza untuk dua kejohanan itu? ā€œBila kita menyediakan pasukan berlainan ia akan mencetuskan persaingan antara pemain.

Bagi saya tidak logik untuk menggunakan pasukan sama untuk dua kejohanan itu, ini hanya akan menjejaskan pembangunan pemain muda,ā€ kata bekas pemain kebangsaan itu.

Nasib skuad Olimpik negara ketika ini masih belum menentu berikutan jadual padat membabitkan kejohanan bola sepak bawah 23 tahun di Sukan Sea Indonesia dan pusingan kelayakan Olimpik London.

Final acara bola sepak Sukan Sea akan berlangsung pada hari penutup, 22 November manakala perlawanan kedua Kumpulan C Malaysia dengan Syria diadakan sehari selepas itu.

Jika Malaysia berjaya mara ke final Sukan Sea untuk mempertahankan pingat emas yang dimenangi di Laos 2009, sudah pasti perlawanan menentang Syria di Kuala Lumpur terpaksa dilupakan.


Mungkin perlawanan itu boleh ditangguhkan sehari ataupun selepas perlawanan ketiga dengan Bahrain pada 27 November jika permohonan FAM mendapat persetujuan pasukan lawan namun faktor kecergasan pemain juga perlu diambil kira.

Menurut Serbegeth yang turut dikenali dengan panggilan Shebbie, tiga perlawanan penting dalam tempoh seminggu (jika Malaysia mara ke final Sukan Sea) pasti menyukarkan pemain muda negara.

ā€œSeharusnya Sukan Sea biarlah pasukan baru dan kita sediakan pasukan khusus untuk Sukan Sea dan Olimpik. Biarlah Sukan Sea untuk pemain lebih muda seperti bawah 19 tahun kerana kita perlu sedar Sukan Sea kejohanan pembangunan, jangan kita raikan kemenangan di Sukan Sea seperti kita menang Piala Dunia.

ā€œKalau kita lihat sekarang ada pemain yang beraksi untuk skuad Olimpik dan dalam masa sama turut bermain dengan skuad kebangsaan. Akibat aksi tanpa henti, prestasi mereka mula menurun, jadi kita kena ambil kira perkara sebegini,ā€ katanya.

Malaysia yang layak ke peringkat kumpulan kelayakan Sukan Olimpik London akan memulakan kempen menentang Jepun di Stadium Tosu pada 21 September 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...

KUALA LUMPUR, April 26 (Bernama) -- Host for the 26th SEA Games, Indonesia has chosen the Komodo dragon as mascot for the 2011 Games which will be held in Jakarta and Palembang from Nov 11 to 25. The Indonesia SEA Games Organizing Committee (Inasoc), was qouted by Jakarta Post as saying that a pair of Komodo dragons, a male (Modo) and a female (Modi), were chosen in recognition of the Republic's conservation efforts to protect the dwindling number of the rare lizard. Modo and Modi were unveiled last night at a function in Jakarta, to mark the 200-day countdown before the games open on Nov 11 in Palembang.

Indonesia dominated the Games between 1977, when it first competed, and 1997, failing to top the medal charts only twice in that p...
