Annuar Musa Rela Undur Diri Jika FAM Enggan Beri Kerjasama Kepada Menteri

KUALA LUMPUR, 25 Nov (Bernama) -- Timbalan Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) yang kini dalam tempoh penggantungan, Tan Sri Annuar Musa, menyatakan kesediaan untuk berundur daripada Jawatankuasa Pembangunan Bola Sepak Negara sekiranya penglibatan beliau menyebabkan FAM enggan berkerjasama dengan jawatankuasa tesebut.

Katanya penglibatan organisasi adalah lebih penting daripada individu dan beliau sangggup mengambil keputusan itu kerana ingin melihat perubahan positif pada sukan bola sepak negara.

"Jika pelantikan saya menyebabkan FAM tidak mahu kerjasama dengan jawatankuasa ini adalah lebih baik sekiranya saya berundur.

"Apa yang lebih penting ialah menteri perlu diberi sokongan oleh persatuan dan mereka yang berkepentingan dalam bola sepak negara," katanya selepas menghadiri mesyuarat jawatankuasa tersebut di Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) di sini, Isnin.

Sebelum ini pelantikan Annuar dalam jawatankuasa itu dipersoal FAM berikutan beliau masih dalam tempoh penggantungan daripada sebarang aktiviti berkaitan bola sepak oleh badan induk itu.

Annuar digantung selama dua tahun setengah bermula April tahun lepas kerana melanggar Artikel 88 Statut 2010-2014 FAM apabila mengeluarkan kenyataan berunsur negatif terhadap skuad Harimau Malaya.

Menurut artikel berkenaan hanya Presiden dan Setiausaha Agung FAM sahaja yang boleh mengeluarkan kenyataan media.

Penasihat Persatuan Bolasepak Kelantan (KAFA) itu berkata pembabitan kerajaan dalam membantu pembangunan bola sepak amat diperlukan kerana badan induk persatuan sukan tidak mampu melakukan semua kerja tanpa bantuan dan sokongan daripada kerajaan.

"Dalam pembangunan peringkat akar umbi, tiada persatuan induk dalam dunia ini yang mampu melakukannya secara sendiri tanpa bantuan daripada kerajaan.

"Saya tahu perkara ini sebab saya pernah menjadi menteri, berada dalam persatuan dan juga mengendalikan pasukan," katanya.

Annuar, bagaimanapun, menambah lantikan dalam jawatankuasa tersebut dilakukan atas budi bicara menteri dan tiada kena-mengena dengan penggantungan.

Katanya pelantikan itu adalah sahih dan tidak akan menimbulkan apa-apa masalah.

"Saya dilantik menteri dalam jawatankuasa ini atas tiket Ahli Parlimen Ketereh dan bukannya sebagai timbalan presiden FAM dan penasihat KAFA.

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...
