Ahmad Shapawi Mahu Jadikan ISN Sebuah Organisasi Lebih Berdaya Saing

KUALA LUMPUR: Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (CEO) Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) yang baru, Ahmad Shapawi Ismail berikrar untuk menjadikan organisasi itu sebagai sebuah badan sukan yang lebih berdaya saing dalam masa terdekat.

Bagi memastikan hasrat itu tercapai, bekas pengarah cawangan atlet Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) itu, berkata beliau merancang untuk mewujudkan satu kerjasama erat dengan institut pengajian tinggi awam (IPTA) dan hospital kerajaan dengan menyediakan satu pakej sokongan sains dan perubatan sukan yang lengkap dan efisien.

"ISN sudah mempunyai pusat satelit sendiri, maka kami akan memperkukuhkan peranan mereka sedia ada supaya bukan sahaja dapat menyediakan khidmat nasihat tetapi juga perkhidmatan mereka kepada atlet di peringkat negeri.

"Apabila atlet di peringkat negeri mendapat bantuan sains sukan sejak usia muda lagi, maka kita hanya perlu memberi fokus kepada aspek taktikal dan teknik yang diperlukan dalam sesebuah acara sukan itu sendiri," katanya dalam temu ramah eksklusif bersama Bernama di pejabatnya di sini, baru-baru ini.
Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek pada 16 Ogos lepas mengumumkan Ahmad Shapawi sebagai CEO ISN yang baharu menggantikan Datuk Dr Ramlan Abdul Aziz dan pelantikan selama setahun itu berkuatkuasa serta merta.

Ahmad Shabery turut mengumumkan Dr Ramlan dilantik sebagai penasihat khas kepada Menteri Belia dan Sukan bagi memberi tumpuan kepada pembangunan sukan negara dan Sukan Olimpik 2016 di Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

ISN sehingga kini mempunyai pusat satelit di beberapa negeri iaitu di Sarawak, Johor, Kelantan, Kedah, Pulau Pinang dan Pahang yang bermatlamat untuk melahirkan atlet bertaraf antarabangsa.
Mengulas lanjut, Ahmad Shapawi, 48, berkata bagi memastikan kerjasama itu terlaksana, beliau terlebih dahulu merancang untuk mendapatkan bantuan daripada pihak swasta.

"Kami tidak boleh bekerja bersendirian dalam menyediakan khidmat sains sukan di peringkat IPTA dan juga hospital kerajaan, maka kami memerlukan badan-badan swasta supaya mereka dapat berkongsi tanggungjawab ini bersama.

"Setakat ini, saya berpendapat rakan terdekat yang boleh membantu kami dalam aspek teknikal, kemudahan logistik dan sebagainya ialah universiti di negeri itusendiri," kata anak jati Kuala Lumpur itu.

Ahmad Shapawi berkata, bagi memantapkan lagi ISN sebagai sebuah badan sains sukan yang berdaya maju, beliau sendiri turut mendapatkan pandangan daripada Dr Ramlan yang menerajui ISN sejak penubuhannya pada 1992.

"Dalam tempoh setahun ini, saya akan mencuba untuk memperkukuhkan elemen-elemen pentadbiran dan pengurusan ISN sendiri untuk memajukan lagi atlet-atlet negara.
"Saya juga akan memastikan ISN meneruskan sumbangan mereka kepada program-program yang dijalankan oleh MSN bagi menyediakan atlet bertaraf antarabangsa.

"Di samping itu, kami juga akan terus memberikan sokongan padu ke atas program yang telah dilaksanakan di bawah kepimpinan (Ketua Pengarah MSN) Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong," 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...

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...
