INSTITUT Sukan Negara (ISN) yang menguruskan aspek saintifik berhubung prestasi atlet, akan memberi fokus kepada sukan-sukan berprestasi tinggi yang boleh meraih pingat emas pertama negara pada Sukan Olimpik London tahun depan.

Pengerusi ISN, Prof. Datuk Dr. Mohd. Zin Bidin berkata, antara sukan yang berpotensi untuk menghasilkan pingat emas Olimpik pertama Malay- sia ialah badminton, tenpin boling, memanah dan lumba basikal.
"Kami merancang memberi fokus kepada atlet dalam sukan-sukan itu dari segi pema- kanan, psikologi sukan dan keadaan mental atlet itu sendiri, namun sukan-sukan lain turut akan diberi perhatian," katanya selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat pertama anggota lembaga pengarah ISN di Bukit Jalil semalam.

ISN menjadi badan berkanun setelah dikuatkuasakan menerusi Akta ISN pada 16 September lepas.
Ia bermatlamat memberi perkhidmatan dan kemudahan teknologi sukan terbaik kepada latihan atlet berprestasi tinggi dalam menghadapi kejohanan sukan antarabangsa selain melahirkan atlet pertama yang memenangi pingat emas Olimpik pertama untuk negara.

Sementara itu, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif ISN, Datuk Dr. Ramlan Abdul Aziz berkata, ISN mempunyai pakar sains sukan yang mencukupi untuk menampung skop tuga- san badan itu yang dijangka semakin meluas mulai tahun depan.

"Setakat ini, kami mempunyai kekuatan lebih kurang 400 tenaga kerja dan kami sedang berusaha meningkatkan jumlah kakitangan kami serta kepakaran yang dimiliki mereka," katanya.
Beliau berkata, jumlah pakar sains sukan yang ada di ISN perlu seimbang dengan jumlah atlet elit negara berdasarkan kehendak semasa.

"Kami juga perlu melihat bagaimana kami harus bekerjasama dengan Kementerian Pelajaran dan Kementerian Pengajian Tinggi supaya kami melahirkan atlet elit yang benar-benar berbakat," 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...

Rajagobal Let Off The Hook

PETALING JAYA, April 24 (Bernama) -- National head coach Datuk K.

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...
