Kim Swee tunggu 'lampu hijau' FA


ROZAIMI (kiri) antara pemain yang mendapat perhatian Kim Swee untuk diserapkan dalam skuad Harimau Muda.

TEKA-TEKI mengenai 'muka-muka baharu' skuad Harimau Muda musim depan dijangka terungkai dalam masa terdekat.
Pengendali Harimau Muda, Ong Kim Swee memberitahu, ketika ini beliau masih menunggu 'lampu hijau' daripada persatuan bola sepak negeri (FA) supaya pemain-pemain berkenaan dapat menyertai skuad muda negara selepas ini.

Menurut beliau, kehadiran pemain-pemain baharu berkenaan dilihat mampu memastikan persiapan awal mempertahankan emas temasya Sukan SEA di Myanmar tahun depan berjalan lancar.
"Ketika ini, ia masih di peringkat perbincangan yang dijangka selesai selewat-lewatnya bulan depan.
"Kehadiran pemain baharu ini bukan bermakna saya meragui kehebatan pemain sedia ada.

"Sebaliknya, ia mampu memperkuatkan lagi skuad Harimau Muda memandangkan kita harus sedar misi mempertahankan pingat emas Sukan SEA sememangnya jauh lebih sukar daripada meraih emas buat kali pertama," kata Kim Swee kepada Kosmo! kelmarin.

Untuk rekod, antara pemain negeri yang berada dalam radar Kim Swee tahun depan termasuklah Rozaimi Abdul Rahman (Sabah), Ashri Chuchu (Sarawak), Nurridzuan Abu Hassan (Perak), Kenny Pallraj (Perak), Nasrul Haq Badrul (PKNS) dan Zubir Azmi dari Terengganu.

Khidmat mereka ditagih Kim Swee memandangkan beberapa tonggak Harimau Muda seperti Affize Faisal Mamat dan Mahali Jasulli telahpun mencecah usia 24 tahun musim depan.
Begitupun, Kim Swee menghormati keputusan mana-mana FA jika enggan melepaskan pemain terbabit menyertai Harimau Muda.

"Saya menghormati keputusan mana-mana persatuan negeri, cuma ini demi perjuangan negara di pentas Sukan SEA. Saya harap perkara ini dapat diselesaikan sebaik sahaja Liga Singapura (Liga S) berakhir bulan depan," katanya.

Harimau Muda yang kini menduduki tangga keempat Liga S dengan 41 mata berdepan pasukan di tangga kelapan, Hougang United di gelanggang lawan malam tadi.
Mereka bakal menutup tirai Liga S berdepan pendahulu liga, Tampines Rovers di Stadium Jalan Besar pada 2 November ini.

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...

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...
