PLBM dapat presiden baru

Kuala Lumpur: Persekutuan Boling Padang Malaysia (PLBM) bakal mendapat presiden baru apabila Tun Ahmad Sarji Abdul Hamid memutuskan tidak mempertahankan jawatan yang disandangnya sejak 17 tahun lalu itu pada pemilihan jawatankuasa PLBM, Sabtu ini.

Setiausaha Kehormat PLBM Ramble Dallan Rice-Oxley berkata Ahmad Sarji menyatakan hasratnya itu pada mesyuarat majlis PLBM yang diadakan Februari lalu.

Pemilihan jawatankuasa PLBM akan diadakan semasa mesyuarat agung tahunan badan induk boling padang di Pusat Boling Padang Nasional, Bukit Kiara.

Tun Ahmad Sarji membuat keputusan mengundur diri pada pemilihan jawatankuasa PLBM tahun ini selepas berpuas hati berjaya melonjakkan pembangunan sukan boling padang negara," kata Ramble.

Beliau berkata beberapa individu sudah menyatakan hasrat bertanding jawatan Presiden PLBM itu.

Mengenai sumbangan Ahmad Sarji terhadap pembangunan boling padang negara, Ramble berkata bekas Ketua Setiausaha Negara itu berjaya menaikkan nama Malaysia di peringkat dunia di samping menyediakan kemudahan dan prasarana sukan boling padang bertaraf dunia di negara ini.

"Semasa memimpin PLBM, nama Malaysia juga semakin dikenali selepas Mohd Hizlee Abdul Rais muncul juara Kejohanan Juara-Juara Perseorangan Dunia di Cyprus pada Oktober lalu," katanya.

Selain pemilihan jawatankuasa PLBM baru, Ramble berkata mesyuarat itu juga akan membincangkan cadangan pemindahan pusat boling di Bukit Kiara ke Putrajaya atau Puchong.

Beliau berkata kerajaan akan menjadikan tapak pusat boling padang di Bukit Kiara yang digunakan sejak 17 tahun lalu itu sebagai akademi badminton.

"Pada masa sekarang, kami masih menunggu kata putus daripada Perbadanan Stadium Malaysia mengenai tapak baru pusat boling padang negara," katanya. - BERNAMA

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...
