Shahidan tutup mulut


Alor Setar: "Saya tak nak komen apa-apa. Saya baru balik daripada lawatan ke Gaza,” kata Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Perlis (PFA), Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim yang masih berteka-teki sama ada sudah menerima surat pendakwaan daripada Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) atau sebaliknya.
Shahidan berkata, setakat ini, beliau belum menerima apa-apa surat pendakwaan daripada Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) berhubung kritikan 'pedas' dibuatnya bagi menuntut transformasi dalam FAM yang menjadi isu panas, sejak akhir-akhir ini.

“Saya tak baca surat khabar lagi... saya baru pulang dari Gaza, dalam (laman sosial) Facebook saya pun tiada siapa yang maklumkan mengenai perkara itu.
“Saya tidak tahu, saya tak fikir lagi... yang saya fikir macam mana nak bayar gaji pemain. Tiap-tiap bulan nak bayar gaji RM170,000. Mungkin pemberita boleh tolong fikirkan untuk saya macam mana nak bayar gaji,” katanya berseloroh.

Sebelum itu, beliau disambut kira-kira 100 penyokongnya sejurus tiba di Lapangan Terbang Sultan Abdul Halim (LTSAH), di sini, kira-kira jam 8 malam tadi.

Ketika ditanya perkembangan terbaru setakat ini, beliau terus mengulangi ‘saya hanya fikir macam mana nak bayar gaji pemain saja buat masa ini.’ “Saya turun KLIA (Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur), terus mai (datang) sini... tak baca apa lagi. Saya tak nak komen lagi selagi tak dapat surat.
“Saya bukan mencari masalah, tapi kebenaran. Bagi saya, ini perjuangan. Perjuangan, sana sini mesti berlaku,” katanya.

Sebelum ini, Arena Metro melaporkan Shahidan mungkin dikenakan tindakan tatatertib berikutan kenyataannya yang menuntut transformasi dalam FAM bagi memastikan badan induk bola sepak tanah air itu mendapat sokongan ramai pihak.
Transformasi yang dituntut bekas Menteri Besar Perlis itu turut menjurus kepada kesediaan FAM membantu pasukan yang mempunyai masalah kewangan.

Berdasarkan Artikel 88, hanya Presiden dan Setiausaha Agung dibenarkan membuat kenyataan. Sekiranya ada di kalangan mereka yang di bawah naungan FAM ingin membuat kenyataan, mereka perlu meminta kebenaran kongres terlebih dulu.

Shahidan dalam reaksi balas terhadap kes itu, baru-baru ini menyuarakan sudah bersedia mengadap Jawatankuasa Tatatertib FAM sekiranya dipanggil berbuat demikian.

Untuk rekod, sebelum ini Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tan Sri Annuar Musa pernah menjadi mangsa Artikel 88 apabila digantung dua tahun enam bulan pada April tahun lalu atas kesalahan mengkritik prestasi skuad kebangsaan.

Sebelum itu, Naib Presiden, Datuk Seri Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Omar menjadi pegawai pertama FAM yang dihukum pada 1991, disusuli Allahyarham Datuk Paduka Ahmad Basri Akil pada 1991 dan 2007.

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...
