Ahmad Said kecewa


MENTERI Besar Terengganu, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said (gambar) kecewa dengan keputusan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) mengetepikan Terengganu sebagai penganjur beberapa acara sukan utama khususnya lumba basikal ketika Malaysia menjadi tuan rumah Sukan SEA 2017.
Beliau berkata, kementerian berkenaan tidak sepatutnya mengambil keputusan terburu-buru sehingga mengecewakan harapan Terengganu.

“Terengganu memang diketahui mempunyai ramai atlet mewakili negara. Bahkan, ketika ini terdapat seramai 65 atlet kelahiran Terengganu yang bakal beraksi mewakili Malaysia dalam pelbagai acara sukan khususnya lumba basikal dan kenu.

“Kadang-kadang, dia orang (KBS) buat keputusan tergesa-gesa dan terburu-buru. Sedangkan Terengganu berjaya melahirkan ramai atlet khususnya dalam lumba basikal, kenu dan sukan lain. Sepatutnya KBS pertimbangkan Terengganu,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian pada sidang akhbar selepas mempengerusikan mesyuarat Exco Kerajaan negeri di Kuala Terengganu semalam.

Ahmad mengulas keputusan kementerian berkenaan yang memberikan hak penganjuran beberapa acara sukan kepada negeri lain iaitu Negeri Sembilan dan Johor pada Sukan SEA 2017 yang menyaksikan Malaysia bakal menjadi tuan rumah.

Ahmad juga memutuskan bahawa Terengganu akan menarik diri daripada sebarang penganjuran peringkat akhir Kejohanan Lumba Basikal Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL) tahun ini.

“Kita benar-benar kecewa, jadi kita akan tarik diri menjadi tuan rumah LTdL. Kita tak akan sediakan tajaan. Tahun lepas kita taja RM2 juta, maknanya tiada lagi penajaan sebanyak itu untuk tahun ini.
“Kita berlembut dengan orang kalau orang berlembut dengan kita, tapi kalau orang dah tak hirau, begitu juga kita,” katanya.

Beliau turut terkilan dengan tindakan KBS yang seolah-olah tidak menghargai sumbangan Terengganu melahirkan ramai atlet yang telah mengharumkan nama negara.

Mengenai penganjuran Piala Monsun pula, beliau berkata, terserah kepada pihak penganjur untuk meneruskan kejohanan itu di Terengganu atau negeri lain.
“Terengganu mempunyai kemudahan dan kelengkapan mencukupi bagi menganjurkan kejohanan itu pada masa akan datang.

“Terpulang pada penganjur, kita ada kemudahan yang cukup untuk menganjurkannya, kalau buat di tempat lain, perlu ada kemudahan lain,” ujarnya.

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...
