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...
