Permit kerja halang Cardiff City ikat Safee

KUALA LUMPUR - Masalah permit kerja menjadi penghalang Safee Sali untuk menyarung jersi Cardiff City selepas jurulatih kelab Malky Mackay mengakui terpikat dengan kemampuan pemain kebangsaan itu.
Perkara itu dimaklumkan oleh pengurus peribadi pemain itu, Zakaria Ab.Rahim semalam yang mendedahkan betapa Mackay amat kagum dengan kebolehan Safee.

"Menerusi berita yang disiarkan di akhbar-akhbar Wales Selasa lalu, Mackay dilaporkan amat puas hati dengan persembahan Safee, selain berminat terhadap pemain tersebut.

"Bagaimanapun Mackay menjelaskan dia tidak mahu menyusahkan dirinya untuk mengikat Safee kerana perlu melepasi halangan di luar padang termasuk urusan permit bekerja di negara itu," katanya.

Tambah Zakaria, Safee memberitahu sekiranya ranking pasukan bola sepak negara berada pada kedudukan yang baik, sudah tentu peluang untuknya bermain dengan kelab Eropah lebih terbuka luas.

Walaupun menerima perkhabaran tersebut, Zakaria berkata, Safee akan memanfaatkan latihan bersama Cardiff City untuk memantapkan persediaan menghadapi Australia pada 7 Oktober depan bersama skuad kebangsaan.

Katanya, Safee juga sedang dalam persiapan untuk kelab Pelita Jaya yang bakal memulakan perlawanan liga bulan depan.

"Isnin lepas latihan keras dijalani oleh semua pemain dalam skuad utama Cardiff City dan Safee turut terlibat sama.

"Walaupun latihan keras dan memenatkan, namun Safee menunjukkan rasa gembira kerana ia boleh digunakan juga untuk mengekalkan kecergasan ketika pulang nanti," jelas Zakaria.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so.

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...
