Apek serah pada KAFA


KOTA BHARU - Penjaga gol No. 1 negara, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat atau Apek (gambar) yang dilaporkan tidak muncul pada hari pertama sesi latihan Kelayakan Olimpik kelmarin, berkata dia menyerahkan kedudukannya kepada majikannya, Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA).
 
Beliau yang masih berada di sisi skuad Kelantan di sini, enggan mengulas ketidakhadiran bersama skuad Ong Kim Swee di Wisma Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM), seperti yang disiarkan akhbar semalam.
Khairul Fahmi yang ditemui menyerahkan kepada KAFA untuk dia menyertai skuad Olimpik atau sebaliknya.

"Saya tidak boleh buat apa-apa (untuk lapor diri skuad ke Olimpik atau sebaliknya) sebab tidak dapat kata putus daripada KAFA," katanya.

Tinjauan Utusan Malaysia di kem latihan skuad Kelantan mendapati Khairul Fahmi menjalani latihan seperti biasa bersama rakan-rakan pasukannya dalam perlawanan persahabatan menentang skuad Piala Presiden negeri itu.

Sementara itu, KAFA menjelaskan 'kehilangan' Khairul Fahmi yang tidak hadir pada sesi latihan skuad kebangsaan disebabkan salah faham.

Presidennya, Tan Sri Annuar Musa berkata, sebenarnya KAFA telah memberi pelepasan kepada Khairul Fahmi untuk menyertai latihan skuad Olimpik.
Namun, katanya Khairul Fahmi harus berada dalam pasukan Kelantan 48 jam sebelum perlawanan menentang Kuala Lumpur yang akan berlangsung esok.
Beliau berkata, Khairul Fahmi sepatutnya boleh melapor diri di Wisma FAM kelmarin, tetapi dia perlu pulang untuk bersama skuad Red Warriors dalam tempoh tersebut dan kembali menyertai latihan skuad negara Ahad ini.

"Beliau sepatutnya boleh melapor diri pada 25 Januari di Wisma FAM tetapi menyangka perlu melapor diri hanya selepas perlawanan Kelantan menentang Kuala Lumpur.

"Saya meminta pengurusan Kelantan dan Apek menghubungi jurulatih pasukan Olimpik, Ong Kim Swee untuk menyelaras perkara ini dengan baik," katanya kepada Utusan Malaysia semalam.

Beliau mengulas mengenai ketiadaan Khairul Fahmi pada hari pertama sesi latihan persediaan bagi menghadapi perlawanan Kumpulan C Kelayakan Olimpik menentang Bahrain, kelmarin.

Pemain Kelantan itu juga tidak memberikan sebarang alasan ketiadaannya di Wisma FAM, Kelana Jaya di sini kepada Kim Swee, yang bagaimanapun masih cuba memberikan ruang dan tempoh kepadanya sehingga semalam.

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...

Badminton: Fans rooting for all-Malaysian semis

Reports: RAJES PAUL KUALA LUMPUR: The home fans will be rooting for an all-Malaysian men’s singles semi-final between Lee Chong Wei and Liew Daren. But Chong Wei is more fancied to advance than Daren in quarter-final matches against Indonesian Simon Santoso and Dane Peter Gade-Christensen respectively at the Putra Stadium in Bukit Jalil today. Yesterday, Chong Wei defeated Vietnamese Nguyen Tien Minh 21-9, 18-21, 21-7 in a second-round match that saw the world number one struggling to adapt to the draught in the stadium in the second game. And Daren continued a fairy tale run in his home Open, blowing away a toothless Hsueh Hsuan-yi of Taiwan 21-14, 21-12. Although Choong Wei had to slog for the win over Tien Minh, the top seed and defending champion felt that he was playing better by the day. “I got off to a good start but found it hard to cope with the draught. I tried to catch up after losing my momentum but that did not happen and I decided to conserve energy for ...

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...
