FAM Sudah Jawab Insiden Kelayakan Piala Asia Kepada AFC - Hamidin

KUALA LUMPUR, 30 Okt (Bernama) -- Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) sudah menghantar surat penjelasan kepada Konfederasi Bola Sepak Asia (AFC) mengenai insiden pembakaran suar pada aksi kelayakan Piala Asia 2015 antara skuad Harimau Malaya dan Bahrain di Stadium Shah Alam, 15 Okt lepas.

Setiausaha Agung FAM Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin berkata menerusi surat itu, badan induk bola sepak kebangsaan itu turut memberikan penjelasan mengenai perkataan Allah yang tertera pada kemeja-t penyerang skuad Harimau Malaya, Norshahrul Idlan Talaha ketika beliau meraikan gol penyamaan.

Malaysia dan Bahrain terikat 1-1 pada perlawanan berkenaan.

"Kita hanya menunggu surat maklum balas daripada AFC dan Norshahrul juga telah membuat penjelasan mengenai insiden berkenaan kepada kita," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas menghadiri mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Teknikal dan Belia yang dipengerusikan Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah di Shahzan House, di sini, Rabu.

Akhbar sebelum ini melaporkan bahawa AFC telah menuntut penjelasan daripada FAM mengenai isu pembakaran suar serta penggunaan perkataan Allah pada kemeja-t yang dipakai Norshahrul, menerusi sepucuk surat minggu lepas.

Berdasarkan peraturan empat, Persekutuan Bola Sepak Antarabangsa (kelengkapan pemain), mana-mana pemain tidak dibenarkan menayangkan apa-apa mesej sensitif berkaitan politik, agama mahupun komersial ketika berlangsungnya sesebuah perlawanan bola sepak.

Dalam pada itu, Hamidin berkata pihaknya akan mengadakan pertemuan dengan wakil penyokong Ultras Malaya mengenai insiden pembakaran suar pada aksi Liga Singapura antara skuad Harimau Muda B menentang Courts Young Lions di Stadium Majlis Perbandaran Pasir Gudang, Johor Baharu, Ahad lepas.

"Kita tahu terdapat provokasi dalam perlawanan tersebut dan kita sudah jawab surat daripada Persatuan Bola Sepak Singapura mengenai isu berkenaan hari ini termasuklah laporan dari pengadil dan koordinator perlawanan.

"Jadi, kita akan cuba berhubung dengan wakil Ultras Malaya supaya perkara ini tidak terjadi lagi pada masa akan datang," katanya.

Courts Young Lions menang 2-1 dalam perlawanan berkenaan.

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...
