KBS Usul Memorandum Kepada Kabinet Status M'sia Sebagai Tuan Rumah Sukan SEA 2017

PUTRAJAYA, 19 Jun (Bernama) -- Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) akan mengemukakan memorandum kepada Kabinet berhubung status Malaysia sebagai tuan rumah Sukan SEA 2017, kata menterinya Khairy Jamaluddin.

Katanya beliau akan meminta pegawai kementerian dan Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) menyediakan butiran terperinci dalam tempoh dua bulan mengenai anggaran kos untuk penganjuran temasya dwitahunan itu.

"Kita kena buat keputusan sebelum Sukan SEA 2013 di Myanmar, Disember ini," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis penajaan Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) ke-16, di sini Rabu.

Khairy berkata sebagai pihak yang mengeluarkan perbelanjaan menganjurkan temasya itu, hanya kerajaan yang akan membuat keputusan berhubung perkara itu kerana ia melibatkan wang rakyat.

Mengulas kenyataan Setiausaha Kehormat Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM), Datuk Sieh Kok Chi bahawa menjadi tuan rumah Sukan SEA 2017 bukan lebih rumit berbanding SUKMA, Khairy berkata kedua-dua temasya tersebut adalah berbeza.

Menurutnya SUKMA melibatkan program pembangunan atlet pelapis dan kebangsaan sedangkan Sukan SEA membabitkan penyertaan atlet luar.

Dalam laporan media Rabu, Kok Chi juga berkata tidak ada alasan untuk Malaysia menolak tawaran menjadi tuan rumah Sukan SEA 2017 berikutan jumlah kontingen dan atlet adalah lebih rendah daripada SUKMA.

Myanmar menjadi tuan rumah Sukan SEA 2013 diikuti Singapura pada 2015 dan sekira Malaysia menolak tawaran 2017 itu maka tanggungjawab itu akan diambil alih oleh Brunei yang dijadual menjadi hos pada 2019.

Mengenai penajaan SUKMA ke-16 di sekitar Lembah Klang dari 28 Jun hingga 7 Julai ini, Khairy berkata ia melibatkan kos sebanyak RM9 juta.

Bagaimanapun, kata pihak penganjur hanya memperoleh penajaan berjumlah RM1 juta daripada sektor korporat termasuk Resort World Genting, Nestle Sdn Bhd, Proton, 100Plus dan Pemodalan Nasional Berhad (PNB).

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...
