Proses 'pemulihan' KOM bermula

KUALA LUMPUR - Selepas sekian lama dibelenggu pelbagai kontroversi, Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) bakal melalui proses 'pemulihan' pada mesyuarat ahli majlis yang pertama 10 Oktober ini di bawah kepimpinan baru.

Presiden KOM, Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad berkata, banyak perkara yang bakal dibangkitkan sebagai agenda perbincangan pada mesyuarat pertama itu terutama pembangunan olahraga.
Menurutnya, laporan siasatan dakwaan terhadap bekas Timbalan Presiden KOM, Datuk Karim Ibrahim yang dikaitkan dengan isu doping dan petisyen juga akan disentuh pada mesyuarat berkenaan.
"Setakat ini saya masih belum mengetahui isi kandungan laporan tersebut kerana ia masih berada pada Presiden sebelum ini Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim.

"Sekiranya telah memperoleh laporan berkenaan sudah tentu kita akan membincangkannya pada 10 Oktober ini bersama ahli majlis yang lain," katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, semalam.

Antara perkara lain yang dijangka menjadi kandungan mesyuarat tersebut ialah mendengar masalah daripada ahli gabungan bagi mencari penyelesaian berkaitan pembangunan olahraga di setiap negeri selain persiapan menghadapi Sukan SEA di Myanmar pada tahun depan.

Zainal dipilih menjadi Presiden badan induk olahraga negara itu selepas mendapat 23 undian menewaskan Shahidan yang memperoleh 21 undian pada pemilihan Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan (AGM) Ke-10 pada Ahad lalu.

Pada AGM tersebut perubahan turut berlaku pada kerusi Timbalan Presiden yang menyaksikan Datuk Wan Hisham Wan Salleh terpilih menyandang jawatan tersebut menewaskan Karim dengan perbezaan enam undian.

Sementara itu, Zainal turut memberitahu akan meminta pandangan ahli majlis untuk melantik seorang Pengurus Besar KOM yang tetap pada mesyuarat majlis pertama mereka.
"Setiap keputusan perlu mendapatkan pandangan ahli majlis sama termasuk dengan pelantikan jawatan Pengurus Besar.

"Saya juga akan mengadakan sidang media sebaik tamat mesyuarat majlis KOM tersebut," kata Zainal.
Ketika ini KOM hanya mempunyai penyandang Pengurus Besar iaitu S. Anthonysamy.
Sebelum ini Pesuruhjaya Sukan, Datuk Mohd. Yasin Mohd. Salleh turut berpendapat ketiadaan Pengurus Besar dalam kesatuan itu menjadi punca dokumen pindaan perlembagaan badan induk tersebut tidak teratur.

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...
