KEMAMAN, (Bernama) - Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) sedia mengkaji jalinan kerjasama dengan kelab Perdana Inggeris, Queens Park Rangers (QPR) yang dimiliki Tan Sri Tony Fernandes untuk program pembangunan bola sepak negara sekiranya kelab tersebut mempunyai akademi latihan yang baik.

Menterinya Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, ini kerana terdapat sesetengah kelab Liga Perdana Inggeris (EPL) hanya mempunyai pemain terbaik yang dibeli dari luar seperti kelab Manchester United dan Chelsea.

"Saya akan mendapatkan maklumat sama ada kelab QPR mempunyai akademi latihan sendiri untuk melahirkan pemain berbakat," katanya ketika ditemui selepas majlis penyampaian bubur lambuk dan Jalur Gemilang di Centre Point, di sini, hari ini.

Ahmad Shabery berkata demikian sebagai mengulas saranan Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah kepada Fernandes agar tidak melupakan bola sepak negara ini sekalipun akur QPR merupakan hak teraju bersama syarikat induk penerbangan AirAsia itu.

Ahmad Shabery berkata beliau sendiri sebelum ini telah berjumpa dengan Datuk Kamarudin Meranun, yang kini menjadi ahli lembaga pengarah kelab QPR untuk membincangkan bentuk kerjasama yang boleh dijalankan untuk membantu pembangunan bola sepak negara.


Fernandes, 47, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Kumpulan Air Asia, menjadi pemilik saham utama yang baru dalam QPR selepas membeli 66 peratus saham pemilik Formula 1, Bernie Ecclestone pada kadar sekitar £35 juta (RM171 juta), Khamis lalu.

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.
