Khairy Saran Rashid Kembali Ke BAM

KUALA LUMPUR, 26 Sept (Bernama) -- Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin meminta Rashid Sidek menimbangkan keputusannya meletak jawatan sebagai jurulatih perseorangan negara dalam Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM).

Menyifatkan isu itu sudah selesai, beliau berkata Presiden BAM Tan Sri Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff memaklumkan kepadanya bahawa badan induk itu menerima penjelasan Rashid dan seorang lagi jurulatih perseorangan negara, Tey Seuy Bock berhubung laporan kedua-dua mereka mengikat kontrak bersama Liga Badminton India (IBL).

"Ini hanya salah faham...Rashid perlu masa untuk memikirkan dan saya harap Rashid akan kembali ke BAM kerana beliau sangat serasi dengan Datuk Lee Chong Wei (jaguh badminton negara)," katanya kepada pemberita selepas merasmikan Kongres Persekutuan Perubatan Sukan Asia ke-13 di sini Khamis.

Khamis lepas, Rashid membuat keputusan meletak jawatan dalam BAM gara-gara tidak berpuas hati dengan perubahan yang dibuat oleh Pengarah Kumpulan Pengurusan Bakat (TMG) Tan Aik Mong terutama dalam sistem kejurulatihan.

Mengulas isu peletakan jawatan Aik Mong dua hari lepas, Khairy berkata beliau difahamkan keputusan yang dibuat bekas pemain negara itu adalah kerana tidak mahu terus terlibat dengan kontroversi dan polemik berhubung sistem kejurulatihan BAM.

Aik Mong, 63, yang merupakan bekas pemain kebangsaan era 70-an, membuat keputusan meletak jawatan sebagai TMG, dipercayai mempunyai kaitan dengan langkah BAM mengembalikan sistem lama.

"Tengku Mahaleel beritahu saya bahawa beliau membuat perancangan baharu dalam sistem kejurulatihan. Aik Mong sebenarnya membantu pada awalnya secara sukarela dan disebabkan tidak mahu terlibat dengan kontroversi itu, beliau (Aik Mong) setuju untuk berundur," kata Khairy.

Khairy berkata beliau menyokong perubahan yang dibuat oleh BAM dan meminta semua pihak tidak membuat sebarang andaian negatif.

"Perkara ini sudah selesai, semua orang mahu BAM melahirkan pengganti Chong Wei. Apa yang cuba Tengku Mahaleel dan Aik Mong buat adalah untuk memembentuk struktur kejurulatihan yang baharu," katanya.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
