Khairy kecewa pusat Sukan Paralimpik lambat siap

Kuala Lumpur: Pusat Kecemerlangan Sukan Paralimpik Kampung Pandan yang sepatutnya boleh digunakan sejak Februari lalu, hanya dibuka sepenuhnya pada November.
Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar berkata, pembukaan kompleks yang menelan belanja RM64 juta itu terpaksa ditangguhkan kerana masalah pembentungan dan ketiadaan bekalan air.

Mengaku sedikit kecewa dengan kelewatan itu, Khairy berharap segala-galanya selesai selepas beliau melakukan lawatan semalam.
“Akibat masalah pembentungan dan bekalan air, ia tidak dapat diserahkan sepenuhnya untuk kegunaan atlet paralimpik tapi saya sudah minta proses ini dipercepatkan.

“Kita harap bekalan air dan masalah pembentungan diselesaikan dalam tempoh sebulan selepas sambutan Hari Raya. Anggaran kita penyerahan sepenuhnya pada November.

“Saya harap perkara ini dapat segerakan sebab jika berterusan tidak digunakan, akan berlaku kerosakan di beberapa tempat,” katanya.
Pusat kecemerlangan itu terletak di kawasan seluas 9.2 hektar mula dibina sejak November 2009 dan sepatutnya beroperasi Februari lalu.

Hampir semua kemudahan disediakan sudah boleh digunakan tetapi dua masalah iaitu sistem pembentungan dan bekalan air menjadi penghalang utama pembukaannya secara rasmi.
Terbahagi kepada tiga bahagian iaitu bilik pentadbiran, pusat latihan dan asrama, pusat kecemerlangan terbabit memiliki gelanggang serba guna, lapangan memanah, gelanggang badminton serta kolam renang bersaiz Olimpik selain asrama yang boleh menempatkan 380 orang serta dewan makan.

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...

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...
