KBS Keluar Garis Panduan Penganjuran Kejohanan Dan Acara Sukan

KUALA LUMPUR, 25 Jun -- Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) hari ini membuat ketetapan untuk mengeluarkan garis panduan atau protokol bagi memastikan penganjuran kejohanan sukan dapat dijalankan tanpa menjejaskan kesihatan atlet dan orang ramai berikutan keadaan berjerebu sekarang.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin berkata garis panduan serta protokol yang diputuskan itu ialah had maksimum Indeks Pencemaran Udara (IPU) bagi penganjuran acara atau aktiviti sukan ditetapkan pada paras bacaan 100.

"Ini kerana, bacaan IPU melebihi paras 100 ditakrifkan sebagai tidak sihat oleh Kementerian Kesihatan serta Kementerian Sumber Asli dan Alam Sekitar," katanya dalam kenyataan di sini, Selasa.

Selain itu, beliau berkata acara sukan yang dipertandingkan di dalam dewan tertutup (indoor) boleh diteruskan seperti biasa dan ia termasuk beberapa acara pada Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) ke-16 yang akan bermula Jumaat ini.

Khairy berkata sesuatu kejohanan atau acara sukan akan ditangguhkan jika IPU di lokasi kejohanan itu menunjukkan bacaan melebihi paras purata harian 100 selama tiga hari berturut-turut sebelum hari kejohanan tersebut berlangsung.

"(Kejohanan itu juga akan ditangguhkan jika) IPU di lokasi kejohanan tersebut menunjukkan trend meningkat selama tiga hari berturut-turut sebelum hari kejohanan itu berlangsung di mana bacaan IPU menghampiri atau mencecah paras purata harian 100," katanya.

Beliau berkata setiap penganjur kejohanan juga akan diberi notis sekurang-kurangnya 24 jam untuk menangguhkan acara atau kejohanan masing-masing, jika perlu.

Dalam tempoh dua minggu akan datang, empat kejohanan utama sukan akan berlangsung di negara ini iaitu Sukma ke-16 di sekitar Lembah Klang dari 28 Jun-7 Julai; Kejohanan Liga Hoki Dunia di Johor Baharu (29 Jun-7 Julai); Kejohanan Berbasikal Jelajah Malaysia dari Kuala Lumpur ke Melaka (26-30 Jun) dan perlawanan akhir Piala FA di Stadium Nasional Bukit Jalil pada Sabtu ini.

Khairy berkata kementerian juga menyarankan agar mana-mana penganjur acara atau kejohanan lain akan turut sama menggunakan pendekatan garis panduan itu bagi memastikan kesihatan peserta dan penonton terus terjaga.

Dalam pada itu, katanya KBS dengan kerjasama Majlis Sukan Negara dan Institut Sukan Negara akan terus memantau bacaan IPU di setiap lokasi kejohanan utama berkaitan, ke arah melaksanakan pematuhan garis panduan itu.

"Walaupun KBS prihatin akan persediaan yang telah dilaksanakan dan kos yang telah dibelanjakan untuk pelbagai acara atau kejohanan tersebut, KBS berpandangan bahawa kepentingan rakyat perlu didahulukan demi kebaikan kita bersama," katanya.

Sementara itu, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Institut Sukan Negara Datuk Dr Ramlan Abd Aziz berkata sekiranya kejohanan yang diadakan di luar dewan (outdoor) seperti Perlumbaan Jelajah 1 Malaysia diteruskan dalam keadaan jerebu yang masih teruk, ia akan menjejaskan pernafasan atlet.

"Apabila sedang bersukan, atlet akan menyedut udara dengan lebih cepat berbanding orang awam yang berjalan kaki. Kesannya adalah penafasan atlet akan lebih teruk daripada orang biasa.

"Kita harap keputusan yang dibuat oleh penganjur akan megutamakan kesihatan atlet dan penonton yang hadir menyaksikan kejohanan yang berlangsung itu nanti," katanya.

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...
