Saya tak mahu komen: Raja



Kelana Jaya: “Saya tak mahu komen.” Itu reaksi jurulatih kebangsaan Datuk K Rajagobal yang mengelak daripada ditemuramah pihak media sejurus mendapati dirinya tidak bersalah atas kesalahan mengkritik dasar Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) semalam.
Sejurus selesai perbicaraan mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Tatatertib FAM yang berlangsung hampir empat jam semalam, Rajagobal yang tampil membuat pembelaan terus bergegas masuk ke biliknya di Wisma FAM tanpa sebarang kenyataan.

Pengendali skuad Harimau Malaya itu pastinya menarik nafas lega dengan keputusan diumum Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Tatatertib, Datuk Taufek Abd Razak apabila beliau terlepas daripada dakwaan di bawah Perkara Kod Tatatertib 4.5.8.
Ini kes pertama tertuduh terlepas daripada hukuman Jawatankuasa Tatatertib selepas kes sebelum ini menyaksikan beberapa individu seperti bekas jurulatih kebangsaan B Sathianathan, Timbalan Presiden FAM Tan Sri Annuar Musa, Presiden Bola Sepak Negeri Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim dan Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Perlis Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim digantung enam bulan hingga dua tahun lebih apabila kes dibuka.

“Tiada kes terhadap Rajagobal sebab kita puas hati dengan pembelaannya. Kita juga memperhalusi pita rakaman (kenyataan Rajagobal pada sidang media) serta laporan akhbar. Beliau menafikan ada membuat kenyataan sedemikian,” kata Taufek semalam.

Keputusan itu membolehkan Rajagobal terlepas daripada penggantungan hingga enam bulan dan boleh meneruskan kontrak dengan FAM sebagai jurulatih kebangsaan hingga hujung tahun ini.
Rajagobal diheret menghadap Jawatankuasa Tatatertib selepas beliau didakwa membuat kenyataan mengkritik dasar FAM mengenai penggunaan pemain import dalam Liga Malaysia yang menyebabkan negara ketandusan penyerang semulajadi.

Kenyataan itu dibuat pada sidang media selepas beliau menyaksikan anak buahnya tumpas 1-4 di tangan Arab Saudi pada aksi persahabatan di Stadium Shah Alam 17 Mac lalu.
“Jika bersalah, beliau boleh dihukum di bawah kesalahan 18.3 tapi kenyataan beliau langsung tidak menyentuh dasar pemain import,” jelas Taufek.

Sementara itu, Jawatankuasa Tatatertib juga menjatuhkan hukuman ke atas dua pemain Selangor Mohd Afiq Azmi dan Abdul Shukor Jusoh di atas insiden pergaduhan yang berlaku pada perlawanan pusingan pertama Piala FA menentang Angkatan Tentera Malaysia 25 Januari lalu.

Afiq digantung dua perlawanan dan denda RM1,000 atas kesalahan bertindak ganas manakala Shukor pula digantung dua perlawanan dan denda RM2,000 kerana ingkar arahan pengadil.

“Apabila melihat semula insiden perlawanan itu, Shukor didapati bersalah kerana ingkar arahan pengadil apabila mengambil masa 1 minit 35 saat untuk meninggalkan padang selepas menerima kad merah.”

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...
