Karim tetap cabar KOM

BEKAS Timbalan Presiden Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM), Datuk Karim Ibrahim bakal mencabar keputusan penggantungannya selama enam tahun oleh badan olahraga negara itu dengan membawa kes tersebut ke Mahkamah Tinggi.

Karim yang dijatuhi hukuman tersebut oleh jawatankuasa siasatan diketuai bekas Hakim Mahkamah Rayuan, Tan Sri V.C. George pada Oktober tahun lalu dikatakan telah menghantar saman pemula kepada KOM pada 1 April lalu.

Presiden KOM, Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad bagaimanapun enggan mengulas lanjut mengenai perkara tersebut, sebaliknya menegaskan bahawa pihaknya telah pun memberi jawapan kepada Karim.
“Karim ada hantar surat tersebut kepada kami tetapi saya tidak boleh beri- tahu mengenai kandungannya kerana ia melibatkan proses mahkamah.

“Namun, apa yang boleh saya beritahu ialah kami telah memberi jawapan kepadanya pada dua atau tiga hari lepas (16 April).

“Sama ada kita mahu lawan atau sele- saikan di luar mahkamah, masih belum ditentukan lagi kerana perkara ini baru masuk dalam proses perbincangan,” jelas Zainal selepas mempengerusikan Mesyuarat Ahli Majlis KOM di Bukit Jalil semalam.

Karim sebelum ini dikatakan tidak puas hati dengan keputusan jawatankuasa siasatan tersebut selepas tidak dibenarkan membuat rayuan terhadap penggantungannya itu.

Bekas ‘orang kuat’ kepada Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim (bekas Presiden KOM) itu dikatakan mahu mencabar keputusan tersebut yang disifatkan tidak adil kerana tidak diberi peluang membela diri.
Beliau yang juga bekas Naib Presiden Persatuan Olahraga Amatur Melaka (POAM), sebelum ini dianggap sebagai pencetus kepada pelbagai kontroversi yang melibatkan atlet negara di bawah kelolaan badan olahraga negara itu.

Ekoran itu, sekumpulan jurulatih dan atlet olahraga negara telah menyerahkan petisyen setebal 23 muka surat yang bertajuk: Laporan Jurulatih dan Atlet Olahraga Kebangsaan kepada Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim pada 13 Februari tahun lalu.

Petisyen yang ditandatangani oleh 42 atlet dan 16 ju- rulatih olahraga negara itu meminta KOM menyingkirkan Karim yang didakwa sebagai dalang utama terhadap segala masalah yang menimpa KOM sebelum ini.

Ia termasuklah isu membabitkan pelari, Mohd. Yunus Lasaleh yang gagal dalam ujian antidoping pada Sukan SEA 2011.

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...

KUALA TERENGGANU, May 29 (Bernama) -- Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badaw i said the government always gives emphasis on cultivating a strong sporting culture in achieving excellence at the international level. As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level.

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...
