Khairy Ada 'Kuasa' Campuri Urusan Persatuan Sukan Kebangsaan - Zolkples

KUALA LUMPUR, 23 Jan (Bernama) -- Sikap keterbukaan Khairy Jamaluddin yang sedia berjumpa dengan setiap penggiat sukan tempatan memperlihatkan betapa menteri belia dan sukan itu serius untuk melihat kemajuan sukan tanah air.

Ketua Pengarah Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) Datuk Seri Zolkples Embong berkata pertemuan Khairy dengan mana-mana badan sukan atau tindakan mencampuri urusan badan induk sukan tempatan tidak wajar dijadikan isu.

Ini kerana katanya seseorang menteri mempunyai kuasa berbuat demikian seperti mana termaktub dalam Akta Pembangunan Sukan bagi memastikan pembangunan sukan negara berada di landasan yang betul.

"Beliau prihatin dengan segala masalah yang dihadapi (persatuan sukan) dan sebagai menteri, beliau mempunyai kuasa memastikan segala program dan aktiviti berkaitan pembangunan sukan negara.

"Sekiranya terdapat sebarang masalah harus ditangani dengan sebaiknya supaya segala yang dirancang dapat dilaksanakan dan tidak mendatangkan masalah," katanya kepada pemberita selepas majlis perarakan sambutan Maulidur Rasul di sekitar Kompleks Sukan Negara, Bukit Jalil di sini Khamis.

Zolkples ditanya mengenai perjumpaan tertutup Khairy dengan pelumba basikal profesional kebangsaan baru-baru ini, bagi meluahkan pandangan serta cadangan untuk meningkatkan kualiti program acara lebuh raya negara.

Sebelum itu, Khairy dipetik sebagai berkata bahawa beliau akan mengadakan pertemuan dengan kepimpinan Persatuan Sepak Takraw Malaysia (PSM) bagi membincangkan hala tuju sukan sepak takraw negara selepas aksi longlai pada Sukan SEA di Myanmar, Disember lepas.

Mengulas lanjut, Zolkples, bagaimanapun berkata seboleh-bolehnya, setiap persatuan sukan wajar menyelesaikan sendiri masalah dalaman masing-masing.

"Tetapi kalau sudah sampai ke satu tahap tiada penyelesaian, jadi tidak ada masalah (bertemu dengan menteri)," katanya.

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...
