Cadangan taraf Penduduk Tetap kepada jurulatih asing - Shabery

Pandelela Rinong dan Ahmad Shabery Cheek disambut penduduk kampung sempena majlis 'biruman bisamah Pandelela' di Kampung Jugan, Bau semalam. 
 
KUCHING - Kementerian Belia dan Sukan bersedia mengemukakan cadangan kepada Kabinet supaya memberi taraf Penduduk Tetap kepada jurulatih asing yang berjaya memartabatkan mutu sukan negara di persada antarabangsa.

Menterinya, Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek berkata, pemberian taraf tersebut kepada jurulatih asing yang cemerlang perlu dipertimbangkan bagi menarik minat mereka untuk terus membimbing Malaysia.
"Ada negara menggunakan model memberi kerakyatan kepada rakyat negara lain supaya dapat menjadi atlet mereka. Bagaimanapun, model ini bukan pilihan kita kerana jika diberi status kepada atlet, sumbangannya akan habis di situ sahaja apabila usia meningkat.

"Kalau beri pada jurulatih, mereka akan terus melahirkan lebih ramai atlet ternama. Perkara ini bagaimanapun melibatkan polisi, jadi saya akan bentangkan cadangan ini kepada Kabinet nanti," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika menghadiri majlis Biruman Bisamah (Kenduri Sekampung Bersama) Pandelela Rinong di tempat kelahiran atlet terjun negara itu di Kampung Jugan, Bau dekat sini, semalam.

Ketua jurulatih terjun, Yang Zhuliang yang bakal tamat kontraknya Oktober depan sedang menunggu tawaran baru dari Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) bagi melanjutkan tempoh perkhidmatan beliau.
Memandangkan Zhuliang pernah menyatakan hasrat untuk berpindah ke Australia, kerajaan diminta menawarkan kontrak baru yang lebih menarik dan lumayan, termasuk memberi taraf Penduduk Tetap kepada jurulatih kelahiran China itu.

Ahmad Shabery dalam pada itu memberi gambaran positif bahawa Zhuliang akan terus kekal bersama skuad terjun negara sekurang-kurangnya untuk empat tahun lagi, iaitu sehingga temasya Olimpik di Rio De Jeneiro pada 2016.

Dalam perkembangan berkaitan, Ahmad Shabery berkata, pihaknya juga bersedia mempertimbangkan permintaan Zhuliang untuk menambah bilangan jurulatih terjun yang kini hanya seramai dua orang.
"Kita memerlukan sekurang-kurangnya empat orang jurulatih yang bertaraf dunia seperti Zhuliang dan setakat ini, jurulatih dari China adalah yang terbaik.

"Perkara ini juga akan dibentangkan dalam Kabinet dalam masa terdekat," katanya.
Sementara itu, Zhuliang ketika ditemui menyambut baik cadangan supaya kerajaan memberi taraf Penduduk Tetap kepada jurulatih asing sepertinya yang berjaya mengharumkan nama negara.

"Saya gembira dan senang hati sekiranya terdapat tawaran sebegitu daripada kerajaan Malaysia," 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...
