BEREGU muda lelaki negara, Goh V Shem-Lim Khim Wah cemerlang apabila mara ke peringkat suku akhir Kejohanan Badminton Siri Super Terbuka India 2012.

Kejayaan itu hadir selepas V Shem-Khim Wah mencipta kejutan menewaskan beregu pilihan keempat dari Indonesia, Mohammad Ahsan-Bona Septano 13-21, 21-19 21-18 pada aksi pusingan kedua kejohanan yang berlangsung di New Delhi semalam.

Terdahulu, beregu utama lelaki negara, Koo Kien Keat-Tan Boon Heong hanya selangkah sahaja lagi untuk mencapai sasaran yang diletakkan ke atas bahu mereka pada kejohanan kali ini apabila mara ke peringkat suku akhir.

Kien Keat-Boon Heong tampil rentak konsisten apabila mengetepikan cabaran pasangan Jepun, Hiroyuki Endo-Kenichi Hayakawa 21-18, 21-18 pada aksi pu- singan kedua semalam.
Beregu emas negara itu berpeluang untuk membalas dendam ke atas pasangan Indonesia, Angga Pratama-Ryan Agung Saputra yang menewaskan mereka pada Piala Axiata bulan lalu apabila dijadualkan bertemu dalam aksi suku akhir hari ini.

Sementara itu, jaguh perseorangan negara, Datuk Lee Chong Wei terpaksa bermandi peluh sebelum mara ke suku akhir.

Tampil selaku pemain pilihan pertama kejohanan, Chong Wei dipaksa bekerja keras oleh Ajay Jayaram dari India sebelum mencatatkan kemenangan 21-15, 17-21, 21-11 semalam.

Turut mengesahkan slot ke suku akhir ialah beregu campuran negara, Chan Peng Soon-Goh Liu Ying yang menewaskan Noriyasu Hirata-Miyuki Maeda dari Jepun 21-16, 21-13.

Dua lagi pemain perseorangan negara, Muhammad Hafiz Hashim dan Chong Wei Feng gagal dalam misi ke peringkat suku akhir selepas tewas kepada lawan masing-masing pada pusingan kedua.

Seperti diramal, Hafiz ternyata sukar untuk menandingi bintang China, Chen Jin apabila tewas 18-21, 15-21.
Wei Feng pula gagal menyekat kemaraan pemain Denmark, Hans-Kristian Vittinghus apabila tewas 13-21, 21-8, 12-21.

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...
