Pengalaman Al-Amin, Aset Terbaik Sebagai Presiden Baharu BAM - Zolkples

PUTRAJAYA, 23 Julai (Bernama) -- Penglibatan Datuk Mohamed Al-Amin Abdul Majid dalam sukan badminton negara dan hubungan baik beliau dengan pemimpin sukan itu di peringkat antarabangsa merupakan aset terbaik, untuk dicalonkan sebagai presiden baharu Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM).

Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong berkata timbalan presiden BAM itu bukan sahaja pentadbir cemerlang malah bekas pemain berpengalaman luas dalam sukan badminton.

"Pengalaman yang beliau miliki sangat berguna kepadanya untuk menggalas jawatan tertinggi badan induk itu dan melaksanakan tugas sekiranya beliau masih berminat dan terpilih.

"Saya tidak mempunyai masalah untuk bekerjasama dengan beliau (Al-Amin) sekiranya beliau terpilih mengetuai BAM kerana bagi saya, beliau memang calon yang baik," katanya ketika ditemui pemberita selepas forum Integriti Dalam Sukan di sini Selasa.

Sebelum ini, majoriti anggota gabungan BAM menyatakan sokongan kepada Al-Amin, malah akhbar semalam melaporkan beliau dijangka mendapat laluan mudah jika bersetuju dicalonkan sebagai presiden kerana mendapat sokongan 90 peratus anggota majlis untuk menerajui BAM.

Ditanya jika calon lain memegang jawatan presiden BAM selain Al-Amin, Zolkples berkata perkara itu tidak menjadi masalah asalkan pemimpin berkenaann dapat menjalankan tanggungjawab membangunkan badminton.

"Pemain harus diberi jaminan mendapatkan bantuan dan sokongan bagi membolehkan mereka mempertingkatkan prestasi kerana badminton merupakan sukan berprofil tinggi," katanya.

Jawatan presiden BAM kosong selepas penyandangnya, Datuk Seri Mohd Nadzmi Mohd Salleh tidak mahu mempertahankan kedudukannya itu kerana memberi tumpuan sebagai presiden Persatuan Badminton Asia (BAC), sejak dilantik Mac lepas.

Al-Amin sebelum ini tetap dengan pendirian untuk tidak bertanding merebut jawatan presiden pada Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan (AGM) badan induk itu yang dijadual berlangsung 27 Julai kerana merasakan dirinya hanya layak memegang jawatan kedua tertinggi BAM.

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...
