Persiapan venue berjalan lancar

MALAYSIA berpuas hati dengan tahap persiapan venue Sukan Sea Indonesia dan yakin pihak penganjur kejohanan akan dapat menyiapkan sepenuhnya semua kerja sebelum November ini.
Ketua Kontinjen Negara (CDM) ke Sukan Sea Indonesia, Datuk Naim Mohamad yang melawat venue kejohanan itu di Jakarta dan Palembang bersama delegasinya pada 18 Ogos lepas menyatakan rasa puas hati terhadap persiapan yang sedang rancak dijalankan.

“Kami bersama kontinjen delegasi Asean lain telah melawat ke tempat-tempat kejohanan dan secara keseluruhan berpuas hati dengan venue di Jakarta yang kebanyakannya telah siap.
“Kalau tidak siap pun dianggarkan hanya 10 peratus sahaja dan memerlukan pengubahsuaian kecil. Penganjur telah memberi jaminan bahawa ia dijangka siap dalam tiga hingga empat minggu lagi,” katanya.

Katanya lawatan venue ke Palembang diketuai oleh timbalannya Datuk Syed Mustaffa Syed Ali yang merupakan Presiden Persatuan Raket Skuasy Malaysia (SRAM) dan turut berpuas hati dengan penganjur yang dianggap komited, gigih mengejar masa menyiapkan venue.

“Saya difahamkan masih terdapat satu atau dua venue yang masih belum siap di Palembang dan dijangka siap selewat-lewatnya dua minggu sebelum temasya bermula,” katanya.

Jakarta dan Palembang akan menjadi tuan rumah edisi ke-26 Sukan Sea dari 11 hingga 25 November.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Naim yang juga Timbalan Presiden Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) memberi jaminan penginapan atlet negara telah disediakan dan diuruskan dengan terbaik oleh penganjurnya.
“Setakat ini kita tidak mendengar masalah yang berlaku dalam penganjuran. “Bagi atlet beraksi di Palembang, mereka akan ditempatkan di perkampungan sukan sementara atlet beraksi di Jakarta, mereka akan menginap di hotel yang disediakan oleh penganjur,” katanya.

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...

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.
