Khairy Teliti Cadangan Pelumba Lebuh Raya Sebelum Ambil Tindakan Susulan

KUALA LUMPUR, 21 Jan (Bernama) -- Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar berkata beliau akan meneliti segala masalah serta cadangan yang diluahkan oleh barisan pelumba berbasikal lebuh raya negara sebelum dapat mengambil tindakan susulan.

Khairy berkata beliau tidak boleh sewenang-wenangnya membuat keputusan segera hasil daripada perjumpaan tertutup bersama pelumba berkenaan, hari ini tanpa mendapatkan pandangan daripada beberapa pihak yang lain termasuk Persatuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM).

"Hasil perjumpaan yang berlangsung pagi tadi, ada sebahagian daripada mereka yang merupakan pelumba profesional telah meluahkan pandangan serta cadangan bagaimana untuk meningkatkan (kualiti) program acara lebuh raya negara.

"Jadi, saya maklumkan kepada mereka bahawa perkara berkenaan akan dibincangkan bersama wakil PKBM dan pelumba lebuh raya negara pada satu forum khas (nanti)," katanya.

Khairy berkata demikian kepada pemberita selepas menyaksikan majlis penyerahan penajaan untuk Kejohanan Ragbi Premier Tujuh Sebelah Kolej Melayu Kuala Kangsar (MCKK), di sini, Selasa.

Khairy bagaimanapun berkata, beliau perlu memberikan tumpuan terlebih dahulu kepada audit akaun PKBM yang menerima peruntukan tahunan sebanyak RM1.5 juta daripada pihak kementerian memandangkan ia merupakan antara Penunjuk Prestasi Utama (KPI) yang ditetapkan sebelum ini.

"KPI ini penting kerana duit berkenaan (RM1.5 juta) datangnya daripada pihak kementerian.

"Sekiranya kita gagal mencapai KPI tersebut, maka saya tidak boleh membuat keputusan sama ada kita akan teruskan program lebuh raya dengan PKBM atau bersama Majlis Sukan Negara (selepas ini)," katanya.

Dalam pada itu, Khairy melahirkan keyakinan dengan kemampuan pengendali baharu skuad hoki senior kebangsaan, Muhammad Dharma Raj Abdullah untuk melakar lebih banyak kejayaan selepas berjaya membawa skuad remaja negara meraih tempat keempat pada Kejohanan Dunia di India, tahun lepas.

Dharma Raj, yang merupakan penolong jurulatih kepada Paul Revington, dilantik ke jawatan berkenaan selepas pengendali kelahiran Afrika Selatan itu meletak jawatan.

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...
