Mungkinkah KOM berubah pimpinan?

SAMA ada Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) bertukar pemimpin atau tidak, semua- nya akan terjawab pada mesyuarat agung tahunan (AGM) badan induk itu hari ini.

Pada AGM kali ini, sebanyak tiga jawatan akan dipertandingkan iaitu satu kerusi bagi merebut jawatan Presiden, Timbalan Presiden (satu) dan Naib Presiden (empat).

Bagaimanapun, tumpuan sudah pasti akan lebih terarah kepada persaingan bagi merebut jawatan selaku pemimpin No. 1 dan No. 2 KOM.

Pada awalnya, persaingan merebut jawatan Presiden KOM akan membabitkan persaingan tiga penjuru.

Penyandang jawatan, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim akan dicabar oleh dua lagi calon iaitu Presiden Persa- tuan Olahraga Amatur Negeri Sembilan (POANS), Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad dan Naib Presiden Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM), Datuk Danyal Balagopal Abdullah.

Bagaimanapun, Danyal telah menarik diri selepas mendakwa AGM kali ini tidak sah kerana tidak mengi- kut perlembagaan baharu yang telah ditetapkan KOM.

Situasi itu sekali gus menyaksikan pertandingan satu lawan satu membabitkan Shahidan dan Zainal.

Berdasarkan pencalonan yang diterima, Shahidan dijangka tidak berdepan masalah besar untuk terus mempertahankan jawatannya kerana menerima empat pencalonan iaitu Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Kuala Lumpur, Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Pahang, Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Perak dan Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Perlis.

Zainal pula hanya menerima satu pencalo- nan iaitu daripada Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Negeri Sembilan.

Sementara itu, Timbalan Presiden KOM, Datuk Karim Ibrahim tetap dibenarkan bertanding pada AGM kali ini biarpun laporan penuh berhubung kes siasatan yang dijalan- kan ke atasnya sudah selesai tetapi belum didedahkan.

Pada Jun dan Julai lalu, satu jawatankuasa siasatan yang diketuai bekas Hakim Mahka- mah Rayuan, Tan Sri V.C George telah menjalankan siasatan ke atas Karim.

Ia berikutan tindakan sekumpulan jurulatih dan atlet olahraga negara menyerahkan petisyen meminta KOM menyingkirkan Karim yang didakwa sebagai dalang utama terhadap segala masalah yang menimpa badan itu sebelum ini.

Pada AGM kali ini, Karim akan dicabar oleh dua lagi calon iaitu Presiden Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Terengganu, Datuk Wan Hisham Wan Salleh dan Setiausaha Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Selangor, K. Yogeswaran.

Karim dijangka mendapat tentangan sengit apabila beliau berkongsi dua pencalonan dengan Wan Hisham.

Beliau menerima pencalonan daripada daripada Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Melaka dan Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Sabah manakala Wan Hisham dicalonkan oleh Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Terengganu dan Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Perak.

Dalam pada itu, lapan calon sah akan bertanding bagi merebut empat jawatan Naib Presiden KOM dengan tumpuan bagi satu kuota untuk wanita antara penyan- dang jawatan, Datuk Mumtaz Jaafar dan Ra- jemah Sheikh Ahmad.

Seramai 45 ahli iaitu tiga wakil daripada 15 ahli gabungan KOM akan mengundi pada AGM kali ini yang akan diadakan di Dewan Komanwel Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Bukit Jalil.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
