KBS tidak halang penyertaan Brunei


SKUAD Brunei yang muncul juara Piala Malaysia pada tahun 1999.

KEMENTERIAN Belia dan Sukan (KBS) tidak mempunyai masalah untuk melihat kehadiran semula skuad kebangsaan Brunei dalam saingan bola sepak Liga Malaysia (Liga-M) sebagai salah satu usaha mengeratkan hubungan dua hala antara kedua- dua negara dalam bidang sukan.

Menterinya, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) dan Persatuan Bola Sepak Brunei boleh berbincang bagi menentukan mekanisme yang sesuai untuk memastikan perkara tersebut terlaksana.

"Kita tahu kerjasama dalam bidang sukan bukan sahaja melibatkan antara kerajaan dengan kerajaan tetapi juga antara persatuan sukan.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada para pemberita selepas menyertai perlawanan golf dengan rakan sejawatnya dari Brunei, Pehin Orang Kaya Pekerma Laila Diraja Datuk Seri Setia Awang Hazir Awang Abdullah di Kelab Golf Kuala Lumpur (KLGCC) semalam.

Pasukan kebangsaan Brunei menyertai Liga Malaysia yang ketika itu dikenali dengan nama Liga Semi-Pro dari tahun 1989-1993 sebelum berpindah ke Liga Singapura pada 2009.

Brunei sebelum itu pernah menjulang Piala Malaysia pada tahun 1999 selepas mengalahkan Sarawak 2-1 di Stadium Merdeka.

Ahmad Shabery berkata, KBS juga akan memperkembangkan beberapa perkara yang boleh dijalinkan antara kedua-dua negara pada masa akan datang seperti penyertaan semula Brunei dalam Sukan Malaysia (Sukma).

"Dari segi belia umpamanya, kita akan mengundang Brunei untuk menghantar wakil mereka pada sambutan Hari Belia Negara dan juga kerjasama lain yang akan berterusan selepas ini," katanya.

Sementara itu, Awang Hazir berkata, lawatan berkenaan amat bermakna dalam memperkukuhkan hubungan antara kedua-dua kementerian tersebut selepas mereka memeterai memorandum persefahaman (MoU) di Brunei tahun lepas.

"Kita turut melihat beberapa bidang lain yang boleh diperkembangkan dan mengenal pasti bidang-bidang baharu dalam sukan dan belia yang boleh kita kembang dan majukan pada masa depan bagi memastikan hubungan erat antara kedua-dua negara akan dapat dikekalkan," katanya.

Awang Hazir yang tiba di Kuala Lumpur pada Rabu lalu dengan rombongan seramai 15 orang akan mengadakan lawatan kerja selama lima hari ke negara ini sebagai membalas kunjungan hormat yang dilakukan oleh Ahmad Shabery pada tahun lepas.

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. 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...
