Rozaimi bukti sentuhan bisa

Ong Kim Swee 
 
KUALA LUMPUR - Pasukan Bawah 22 tahun negara meneruskan rentak kemenangan apabila menewaskan Taiwan 4-2 dalam perlawanan ketiga Kumpulan G Kelayakan Piala AFC di Stadium Aung San, semalam.

Jurulatih, Ong Kim Swee melakukan percaturan menggandingkan Rozaimi Abdul Rahman dan Syahrul Azwari Ibrahim di barisan serangan selain merehatkan Ashri Chuchu yang digantikan oleh D. Saarvindran.

Bermain di atas padang yang basah, Rozaimi Abdul Rahman yang cemerlang menjaringkan empat gol pada perlawanan menentang Filipina tempoh hari meneruskan kecemerlangan apabila menjaringkan dua gol.

Penyerang Sabah itu meledak seawal minit kelapan, sebelum gol kedua Malaysia hadir pada minit ke-32 hasil gol sendiri Chen Yen-Jui.

Lapan minit sebelum separuh masa pertama berakhir, Rozaimi mengukuhkan kedudukan Malaysia dengan gol ketiga yang juga jaringan peribadinya yang keenam sepanjang kejohanan.
Namun, suasana itu berubah pada babak kedua apabila Taiwan secara tiba-tiba menyaingi rentak skuad negara apabila Chang-Lun Lin merapatkan jurang pada minit ke-50.

Suasana cemas itu pun reda seketika apabila Saarvindran kembali meletakkan Malaysia pada kedudukan selesa dengan gol keempat pada minit ke-78.

Kelekaan pertahanan Malaysia memberikan ruang kepada Taiwan meraih jaringan kedua melalui Wen Chih-Hao pada masa kecederaan.

Dalam satu lagi perlawanan, Vietnam membelasah Filipina 9-0.
Skuad negara perlu memenangi dua baki perlawanan menentang Vietnam dan Myanmar jika mahu memastikan kedudukan kedua menjadi milik Malaysia.

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...
