Mahkamah Benar Permohonan Bekas Timbalan Presiden KOM Ketepi Perintah Penggantungan


KUALA LUMPUR, 29 Nov (Bernama) -- Mahkamah Tinggi di sini Jumaat membenarkan permohonan bekas Timbalan Presiden Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) Datuk Karim Ibrahim untuk mengetepikan perintah penggantungannya selama enam tahun daripada aktiviti olahraga yang dikenakan KOM terhadapnya pada tahun lepas.

Hakim Datuk Zaleha Yusof memutuskan bahawa berdasarkan perlembagaan KOM, plaintif bukanlah ahli persatuan itu.

"Prosiding disiplin yang dikenakan terhadap plaintif adalah perkara yang serius dan memandangkan plaintif bukan ahli persatuan, KOM tidak boleh mengambil tindakan terhadapnya," katanya.

Hakim Zaleha tidak menetapkan sebarang kos.

Pada 1 April lalu, Karim yang juga naib presiden Persatuan Olahraga Melaka, memfailkan saman pemula terhadap KOM untuk memohon satu deklarasi bahawa beliau bukan ahli KOM.

Karim memohon diketepikan keputusan dan perintah KOM bertarikh 11 Okt 2012 yang menggantungnya bagi tempoh enam tahun daripada melakukan sebarang aktiviti sukan olahraga.

Dalam samannya itu, beliau turut memohon mahkamah membuat penentuan sama ada KOM mempunyai bidang kuasa untuk membuat perintah penggantungan itu walaupun beliau bukan ahli KOM mengikut Perlembagaan Terpinda dan Undang-Undang Kecil KOM bertarikh 25 Julai 2011.

Beliau digantung oleh KOM selepas didapati bersalah bersubahat dalam kes enam atlet melarikan diri daripada ujian anti-doping pada 2011 dan keputusan itu dicapai oleh ahli majlis KOM selepas meneliti laporan siasatan kes berkenaan yang dipengerusikan oleh bekas hakim Mahkamah Rayuan Tan Sri V.C George.

Karim, yang diwakili peguam Didiana Zakaria hadir dalam prosiding hari ini manakala KOM diwakili peguam Alex De Silva dan Adlan Hadi Mohamad Yusof.

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...
