'Jangan hanya harap bantuan pihak kerajaan'

PERSATUAN dan kelab sukan di negara ini diminta mencari sumber kewangan sendiri dan tidak hanya mengharapkan bantuan kerajaan bagi menjalankan aktiviti masing-masing.

Menurut Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek, banyak persatuan dan kelab sukan tempatan didapati masih bergantung kepada peruntukan daripada pihak kerajaan.

"Pengurus sesebuah kelab dan persatuan yang perlu mengambil inisiatif untuk mencari sumber kewangan untuk kelab mereka.

"Sehubungan itu, mereka boleh mengadakan promosi produk kelab sendiri dengan menjual barangan, antaranya jersi, topi, beg dan lain-lain lagi untuk menjana pendapatan bagi memajukan kelab masing-masing," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar selepas majlis perasmian Kejohanan Taekwondo Peringkat Kebangsaan anjuran Malaysia Global Taekwondo Federation di Stadium Chin Woo di Kuala Lumpur semalam.

Pada masa yang sama, Ahmad Shabery juga meminta masyarakat tempatan bergiat aktif dalam acara sukan dan menjadikan aktiviti tersebut sebagai tabiat dalam kehidupan seharian mereka.

Dalam majlis berasingan, Ahmad Shabery berkata, Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) mencadangkan institusi pengajian tinggi awam (IPT) awam dan swasta mewujudkan kursus kewartawanan dan fotografi sukan sebagai salah satu pengkhususan dalam jurusan pengajian media.

Menurutnya, cadangan itu bertujuan menghasilkan wartawan tempatan yang mempunyai kemahiran khusus untuk membuat laporan sukan, sekaligus meningkatkan impak yang diberikan media terhadap bidang tersebut.
"Kita mempunyai banyak IPT menawarkan kursus kewartawanan, penyiaran dan fotografi, tetapi tidak ada kursus kewartawanan sukan dan perkara ini perlu diperhatikan semua pihak sebagai satu perkara baharu.
"Kita mahu wartawan sukan yang bukan setakat tahu buat komen (secara umum), tetapi tahu dari semua aspek termasuk teknikal dan sejarahnya," 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. 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...
