Sukan Malaysia: Terengganu sasar 40 pingat emas untuk pertahan kejuaraan

KUALA LUMPUR - Meskipun belum meletakkan sasaran spesifik perolehan pingat emas pada Sukan Malaysia 2012 di Pahang Julai ini, juara bertahan Terengganu yakin untuk mengumpul lebih 40 pingat emas pada temasya kali ini.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia dan Sukan negeri Terengganu, Rozi Mamat berkata, keyakinan untuk memperoleh jumlah tersebut bersandarkan kepada keupayaan atlet baru dan program pembangunan sukan yang berjaya dilaksanakan.

Menurutnya, pada penyertaan kali ini, atlet baru akan diberikan kepercayaan bersaing untuk mendapatkan pingat emas.

"Kita mempunyai ramai atlet baru dan pemantauan akhir menggambarkan bahawa Terengganu bakal memberi saingan yang lebih kuat malah kita yakin mampu menjadi juara buat kali keempat.

"Buat masa ini sasaran pingat emas tidak boleh berikan secara terperinci namun saya percaya Terengganu mampu melakukan yang terbaik pada penganjuran kali ini," katanya selepas majlis pelancaran program Evolusi R di sini, semalam.

Evolusi R adalah satu program anjuran Pertubuhan Penunggang Motosikal Bersatu Malaysia (Riders & Rempit United) untuk membangunkan komuniti remaja bermotor selain menghindari generasi muda daripada terjebak dengan gejala negatif.

Sementara itu, Rozi berkata, acara yang diyakini mampu untuk menyumbang pingat emas buat Terengganu pada Sukan Malaysia kali ini ialah basikal, angkat berat dan sukan tempur.

"Tahun ini acara kanu tiada dipertandingkan tambahan pula ada beberapa atlet kami yang bakal menyertai Sukan Olimpik namun kita yakin dalam acara yang ada kami masih mampu untuk mendapatkan pingat emas.
"Seperti yang kita tahu ada atlet muda kami telah layak ke Sukan Olimpik seperti atlet memanah dan tidak dapat beraksi pada temasya kali ini. Ia tidak menjadi masalah kerana melalui program pembangunan yang telah dijalankan sejak dahulu kita tetap berupaya memberikan saingan," kata Rozi.

Terengganu muncul juara Sukan Malaysia berturut-turut sejak 2008 dan tahun lalu negeri itu mengutip 23 pingat emas.

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...
