Teong Kim Mampu Bantu Lahirkan Pelapis Bola Sepak Berkualiti - Zokples

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 Ogos (Bernama) -- Pengalaman bekas pemain kebangsaan Lim Teong Kim dalam industri bola sepak negara akan digunakan untuk membantu negara melahirkan pemain muda yang berkualiti pada masa akan datang.

Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Datuk Seri Zokples Embong berkata Teong Kim yang dilantik sebagai Pengarah Program Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara mempunyai visi yang jelas untuk membantu negara dalam mengembangkan lagi pembangunan bola sepak terutama di peringkat akar umbi.

Semalam, Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin berkata Teong Kim akan mengikat kontrak lima tahun bermula November ini bagi menggantikan abangnya, Lim Kim Chon yang juga bekas pemain negara pada era 80-an.

"MSN memang mencari individu yang bertepatan bagi mengisi kekosongan jawatan itu. Idea melantik Teong Kim adalah daripada menteri sendiri.

"Saya tidak nafikan program pembangunan bola sepak memang agak terganggu selepas Kim Chon meletakkan jawatan sebagai ketua pembangunan bola sepak remaja kebangsaan pada Mei lepas," katanya.

Zokples berkata perbincangan pelantikan Teong Kim diadakan selama dua minggu dengan beliau dibawa melawat beberapa pusat pembangunan bola sepak.

"Teong Kim tertarik dengan apa yang telah kita laksanakan. Beliau memberitahu MSN mempunyai asas pembangunan bola sepak yang baik dan perlu dikembangkan kepada satu tahap yang lebih tinggi.

"MSN dan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia(FAM) akan bekerjasama dalam menggembleng tanggungjawab ini untuk melahirkan lebih ramai pelapis yang berkualiti pada masa akan datang," katanya.

Teong Kim yang merupakan bekas pemain kelab Hertha Berlin 87' di Bundes liga Jerman, pernah menjadi pembantu jurulatih skuad bawah 19 tahun Bayern Munich, Jerman, selama enam tahun.

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...
