Kejohanan Terbuka Petanque Medan Penilaian PPM Untuk Atlet Negara Ke Sukan SEA

KUALA LUMPUR, 19 Mac (Bernama) -- Kejohanan Petanque Terbuka di Miri, Sarawak, awal bulan depan akan menjadi medan Persatuan Petanque Malaysia (PPM), menilai prestasi atlet sedia ada untuk dipilih mewakili negara ke Sukan SEA Myanmar pada 11 hingga 22 Dis depan.

"Kebanyakan atlet daripada mereka yang berkerja dan bukanya atlet sepenuh masa. Setakat ini PPM sudah mengenal pasti 30 atlet, 15 lelaki dan 15 wanita.

"Bagaimanapun, kesemua mereka bukanlah senarai mutakhir atlet yang akan kita bawa ke Myanmar," kata Setiausaha Kehormat PPM, Shaari Shamsudin kepada Bernama.

Shaari berkata kebanyakan atlet yang sudah dikenal pasti itu dipilih berdasarkan prestasi mereka di Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) Pahang tahun lepas.

Menurutnya, PPM akan menggunakan Kejohanan Petanque Terbuka Miri untuk terus menilai kemampuan dan prestasi mereka.

"Selepas kejohanan itu, kita akan memanggil semula mereka untuk menjalani latihan pusat di Kompleks Sukan MSN Keramat. Bagaimanapun, jumlah berapa orang atlet yang akan dipanggil itu belum ditentukan lagi," katanya.

Mengenai sasaran pingat di Sukan SEA nanti, Shaari berkata PPM masih belum menetapkan apa-apa matlamat kerana merasakan ia masih terlalu awal.

"Saya yakin skuad petanque mampu membawa pulang pingat yang lebih baik daripada temasya sebelum ini," katanya.

Pada temasya Sukan SEA di Indonesia dua tahun lepas, skuad petanque negara meraih tiga pingat gangsa menerusi acara individu lelaki, individu wanita dan 'shooting' lelaki.

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...
