Sultan Azlan Shah (duduk) memberi kata-kata semangat kepada skuad kebangsaan yang akan ke kelayakan Olimpik 2012 di Dublin. Turut berada di Stadium Hoki Bukit Jalil, semalam Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara, Datuk Zolkples Embong dan pegawai-pegawai MHC.

KUALA LUMPUR - 'Jangan pisang berbuah dua kali', itu pesanan Presiden Konfederasi Hoki Malaysia (MHC), Tengku Abdullah Ahmad Shah kepada barisan pemain hoki negara yang akan beraksi di Dublin, Ireland bagi menghadapi kelayakan Olimpik 2012.

Berharap nasib dan rezeki akan berpihak kepada Malaysia pada kali ini, beliau mengingatkan para pemain mampu menampilkan rentak permainan yang terbaik dan konsisten sehingga perlawanan terakhir sambil mahu menjadikan kegagalan meraih pingat emas di Sukan Asia 2010 sebagai satu pengajaran berguna.

''Mereka telah beraksi dengan baik sekali semasa di Sukan Asia tetapi apabila berada di perlawanan akhir, mereka tidak menampilkan permainan yang diharapkan.
''Kegagalan ini perlu dielakkan sekali lagi lagi dan saya mahu semua pemain imbas kembali mengapa mereka tidak berjaya di perlawanan akhir Sukan Asia.

''Cuma nasihat saya, jangan pisang berbuah dua kali dan jangan ulang kesilapan yang sama serta dapat tampilkan rentak sebenar dalam semua perlawanan," katanya pada sidang media pengumuman senarai 18 pemain yang akan membawa cabaran negara di pusingan kelayakan Olimpik 2012 di Dublin, Ireland dari 11-18 Mac ini.

Malaysia yang terlepas dua kali edisi terakhir Sukan Olimpik pada tahun 2004 dan 2008 akan bertemu Chile pada perlawanan sulung diikuti Rusia sehari kemudian sebelum Ukraine (13 Mac), Korea Selatan (15 Mac) dan Ireland (17 Mac) pada perlawanan terakhir.

Pasukan di tangga pertama dan kedua akan bertemu pada perlawanan akhir dan pemenang akan menempah tiket ke Sukan Olimpik London 2012.

Pada majlis pengumuman itu, Sultan Perak yang juga bekas Presiden Persekutuan Hoki Malaysia (PHM), Sultan Azlan Shah turut hadir meniupkan semangat kepada para pemain.

Sementara itu, Beng Hai berkata, pemilihan dua pemain muda, Mohd. Izzat Mohd. Rahim dan Mohd. Fitri Saari adalah kerana mereka layak disenaraikan secara merit dan ia tidak perlu dipersoalkan.

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...
