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...

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...
