Perjalanan Harimau Malaya Dalam Piala AFF Suzuki Belum Berakhir - Rajagobal

KUALA LUMPUR, 29 Nov (Bernama) -- Perjalanan skuad Harimau Malaya dalam Piala AFF Suzuki belum berakhir meskipun mencatatkan kemenangan bergaya menewaskan Laos, 4-1 pada aksi kedua kumpulan B di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil, Rabu.

Ketua jurulatih skuad kebangsaan Datuk K. Rajagobal berkata kemenangan tersebut merupakan suntikan moral terbaik kepada skuad kendaliannya menjelang aksi terakhir kumpulan menentang musuh tradisi, Indonesia pada Sabtu ini.

"Namun, saya mahu pemain kita melupakan kemenangan (malam) ini (ke atas Laos) dan memfokus perlawanan menentang Indonesia kerana saya fikir perlawanan menentang mereka (Indonesia) tidaklah mudah," katanya kepada pemberita.

Empat gol skuad Harimau Malaya dijaringkan oleh Safiq Rahim pada minit ke-15, Mohd Safee Mohd Sali (minit ke-67), Wan Zack Haikal Wan Nor (minit ke-75) dan Mohd Khyrill Muhymeen Zambri pada minit ke-79.

Mengulas mengenai peluang mereka untuk menempah slot ke separuh akhir, Rajagobal optimis bahawa pasukannya masih berpeluang untuk melepasi peringkat kumpulan.

Sementara itu, jurulatih Laos Kokichi Kimura berkata Malaysia mempunyai kumpulan pemain yang berbakat dan berharap pemain-pemainnya akan belajar sesuatu bila berdepan dengan pasukan yang mempunyai pemain berpengalaman seperti Malaysia, Singapura dan Indonesia.

Pasukan Laos akan menyelesaikan perlawanan mereka dalam Kumpulan B menentang Singapura, Sabtu ini di Stadium Shah Alam.

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...
