Hanya salah faham: Kafa

ISU kegagalan penjaga gol kebangsaan, Khairul Fahmi Che Mat melaporkan diri bagi menjalani latihan bersama skuad Olimpik disifat lebih kepada salah faham dan dianggap selesai selepas Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (Kafa) tampil menjelaskan situasi sebenar.

Presiden Kafa, Tan Sri Annuar Musa berkata, pihaknya sudah memberikan pelepasan kepada Khairul Fahmi atau lebih dikenali dengan panggilan Apek bagi menyertai latihan skuad Olimpik tetapi harus kembali bersama pasukan Kelantan dalam tempoh 48 jam sebelum perlawanan menentang Kuala Lumpur, malam esok.

“Apek sepatutnya perlu melaporkan diri pada 25 Januari (kelmarin) di Wisma FAM tetapi menyangka perlu melaporkan diri selepas perlawanan Kelantan menentang Kuala Lumpur di Kota Bharu, pada Sabtu ini.
“Saya sudah meminta pihak pengurusan Kelantan dan Apek sendiri menghubungi ketua jurulatih skuad Olimpik, Ong Kim Swee bagi menyelesaikan perkara ini dengan baik demi kepentingan bersama semua pihak,” katanya.

Harian Metro semalam melaporkan kegagalan penjaga gol berusia 23 tahun itu melaporkan diri untuk menjalani sesi latihan bagi menghadapi perlawanan Kumpulan C Kelayakan Olimpik menentang Bahrain pada 5 Februari depan. Kim Swee dilaporkan memberi pelepasan kepada enam pemain luar termasuk penjaga gawang Kelantan itu pulang sehari sebelum perlawanan membabitkan pasukan masing-masing esok.

Sementara itu Setiausaha Agung Kafa, Azman Ibrahim berkata, masalah komunikasi yang terputus berikutan cuti panjang sempena sambutan Tahun Baru Cina menjadi punca berlakunya salah faham membabitkan kegagalan Khairul Fahmi melaporkan diri menjalani latihan bersama skuad Olimpik itu.

“Di Kelantan, cuti hujung minggu kita jatuh pada Jumaat dan Sabtu manakala di Kuala Lumpur, cuti panjang bermula dari Sabtu hingga Selasa. Kita pula menerima berita mengenai Apek perlu melaporkan diri bersama skuad Olimpik pada pagi Rabu.

“Kita cuba mendapatkan tiket penerbangan bagi membolehkan dia menyertai latihan pada hari itu juga tetapi malangnya semua penerbangan sudah penuh. Jadi hari ini (semalam) kita sudah mendapatkan tiket penerbangan bagi membolehkannya ke Kuala Lumpur,” katanya.

Sementara itu, ketika dihubungi Apek mengesahkan akan melaporkan diri menjalani latihan bersama skuad Olimpik di Wisma FAM selepas majikannya berjaya mendapatkan tiket penerbangan tengah hari 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...
