Rashid kembali


 Kuala Lumpur: Rashid Sidek (gambar) kembali menyertai pasukan kebangsaan esok.
Teka-teki mengenai keputusan yang bakal diambil jurulatih kebangsaan Rashid Sidek yang meletak jawatan 10 hari lalu, sama ada kembali ke pangkuan Persatuan Badminton Malaysia (BAM) atau sebaliknya, kini terjawab.


Rashid mengesahkan beliau akan kembali menyertai barisan kejurulatihan BAM, namun selepas mengikut prosedur yang diminta Presiden, Tan Sri Tengku Mahaleel Tengku Ariff.

“Esok (hari ini) saya akan ke pejabat BAM, menghantar surat yang diminta presiden, menulis saya mahu kembali melatih pemain kebangsaan, tapi saya tidak akan terus bekerja esok (hari ini),” kata Rashid ketika dihubungi.

“Apapun saya akan memulakan kerja minggu ini, paling awal Selasa (esok).”

Sambil mengakui apa yang berlaku sebelum ini perlu segera dilupakan, Rashid berkata, beliau amat menghormati keputusan Tengku Mahaleel yang sedia menerimanya semula.

“Cukup-cukuplah bangkitkan isu ini, semuanya sudah pulih dan reda. Saya sedar saya perlu segera kembali untuk membantu skuad negara dan menjayakan program yang dirancang kepimpinan baru.

“Selagi Datuk Lee Chong Wei belum berjaya menjuarai Kejohanan Dunia dan Sukan Asia, saya akan turut sama membantunya, begitu juga dengan pemain lain,” kata Rashid, menyatakan komitmennya untuk kembali ke pangkuan skuad kebangsaan.

Sememangnya tiada sebab untuk Rashid terus membawa diri kerana alasannya meletak jawatan sebelum ini, disebabkan tidak mampu mengikut program yang tidak dipersetujuinya serta berasa tidak boleh bekerja bersama dengan Tan Aik Mong (bekas Pengarah Kumpulan Pengurusan Bakat-TMG).

Malah Tengku Mahaleel sendiri enggan menerima peletakan jawatan beliau, sekali gus membuka seluas-luas peluang untuknya kembali membantu meningkatkan mutu badminton negara.

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...

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...
