KBS Sedia RM122 Juta Untuk SUKMA Perlis 2014 - Khairy

 

KANGAR, 27 Jan (Bernama) -- Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) menyediakan peruntukan sebanyak RM122 juta kepada Perlis untuk menganjurkan temasya Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) ke-17, Mei ini, kata menterinya Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar.

Beliau berkata daripada jumlah itu, sebanyak RM76 juta adalah untuk pembangunan prasarana termasuk menaik taraf kemudahan venue pertandingan dan RM46 juta bagi mengurus temasya sukan tersebut.

Beliau juga berkata setiap kontraktor yang terlibat mengendalikan projek pembinaan atau menaik taraf venue pertandingan diberi tempoh selewat-lewatnya awal April ini untuk menyiapkan kerja masing-masing.

Katanya, hasil pemeriksaan di Kompleks Sukan Negeri di sini, yang menjadikan venue bagi 11 daripada 24 acara sukan, mendapati kerja-kerja menyiapkan kolam renang dan dewan badminton agak membimbangkan.

Beliau berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas meninjau kerja-kerja membina dan menaik taraf venue-venue di kompleks tersebut di sini hari ini.

Sebelum itu, beliau diberi taklimat mengenai tahap persediaan tuan rumah menganjurkan temasya itu oleh Timbalan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif (Pengurusan) Sekretariat SUKMA Perlis, Saiful Rizal Mohd Shukri.

Berikutan kekangan masa untuk menyiapkan kerja-kerja menaik taraf kolam renang di kompleks tersebut, Khairy tidak menolak kemungkinan acara akuatik dianjurkan di Kedah.

"Pembinaan dewan badminton tidak begitu rumit untuk disiapkan kerana ia merupakan pembinaan dewan biasa tetapi venue kolam renang mungkin tidak dapat memenuhi sasaran masa untuk disiapkan," katanya.

Katanya, keputusan muktamad mengenai kemampuan Perlis menyiapkan venue itu juga perlu diketahui segera kerana jika terpaksa diadakan di Kedah, kerja-kerja menyempurnakan kolam renang di negeri tersebut juga perlu dilakukan.

SUKMA Perlis 2014 dari 24 Mei hingga 4 Jun ini menawarkan 356 pingat emas dalam 24 acara sukan dipertandingkan.

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...
