Peminat diminta padam akaun palsu Chong Wei

KUALA LUMPUR - Abang Datuk Lee Chong Wei, Lee Chong Hoon, semalam meminta orang ramai yang menggunakan nama jaguh badminton negara itu sebagai akaun mereka dalam rangkaian sosial supaya segera memadamnya atau bakal dikenakan tindakan.

Menurut Chong Hoon, kewujudan terlalu banyak akaun dalam Facebook atau Twitter yang menggunakan nama pemenang pingat perak Sukan Olimpik itu telah menimbulkan kekeliruan, terutama beberapa hari menjelang majlis perkahwinan Chong Wei dan Wong Mew Choo pada 9 serta 10 November ini.

"Ada antara peminat yang menjemput peminat lain untuk menghadiri majlis perkahwinan Chong Wei menggunakan akaun namanya di Facebook atau Twitter dan ini menimbulkan kekeliruan. Jemputan adalah terhad, kami bimbang jika ramai yang datang kerana menjangkakan mereka telah dijemput.

"Sudah tentu, Chong Wei juga mahu meraikan peminat-peminatnya dan sebab itu dia telah mengadakan satu peraduan khas, di mana pemenang akan dijemput menghadiri perkahwinannya.

"Namun, saya bimbang peminat tidak dapat membezakan yang mana satu akaun betul dan palsu,'' kata Chong Hoon pada sidang akhbar di Puchong, semalam.

Kata Chong Hoon, akaun asli juara All England dua kali itu dalam Facebook adalah Lee Chong Wei Official Fans Club.

Selain daripada akaun berkenaan, akaun wu yu neng bi turut menjadi rakan kongsi Chong Wei untuk mempromosikan majlis itu. Peminat yang mahu mendapatkan akses terus kepada rangkaian sosial jaguh badminton negara itu juga boleh memuat turun aplikasi apps di Android dan Iphone masing-masing.

"Kami akan mengadakan satu peraduan yang memerlukan peminat menulis kata-kata indah buat Chong Wei dan Mew Choo. Perkataan paling menarik akan dipilih sebagai pemenang," 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...
