KUALA LUMPUR - Majlis penyerahan tugas kepada Presiden Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) yang baru Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad oleh bekas pemimpin badan induk sukan olahraga kebangsaan Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim berlangsung dalam suasana mesra dan lancar, semalam.

Tiada sebarang isu dibangkitkan dalam pertemuan itu, walaupun sebelum ini Zainal meluahkan rasa kecewa ekoran tindakan Shahidan yang terus meninggalkan lokasi Pemilihan Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan (AGM) KOM Ke-10 di Dewan Komanwel Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Ahad lalu.

Sementara itu, berhubung laporan siasatan terhadap bekas Timbalan Presiden KOM, Datuk Karim Ibrahim yang dikaitkan dengan isu doping dan petisyen, Zainal sekadar berkata: "Saya baru baca muka surat depan sahaja".

Katanya, dia baru sahaja menerima laporan kes itu daripada Shahidan pada majlis penyerahan tugas semalam.

Laporan tersebut akan dibentangkan dalam mesyuarat majlis KOM 11 Oktober ini.
"Mungkin selepas habis mesyuarat majlis saya akan adakan sidang akhbar. Setakat ini tiada apa yang saya fikirkan lagi.

"Selepas ini satu perjumpaan dengan jurulatih dan atlet turut bakal diatur," kata Zainal.

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...
