Annuar Musa Harap Anggota Gabungan FAM Berani Tawar Diri Rebut Jawatan Presiden

KUALA LUMPUR, 23 Feb (Bernama) -- Penasihat Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA) Tan Sri Annuar Musa berharap terdapat keberanian daripada mana-mana anggota gabungan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) untuk menawarkan diri merebut jawatan presiden pada kongres tahunan FAM 25 Mei ini.

Beliau berkata jawatan presiden FAM boleh dicabar mana-mana anggota gabungan berdasarkan statut sedia ada, namun ia tidak berlaku kerana mendakwa segelintir mereka bimbang mendapat kritikan sekiranya gagal melaksanakan tugas yang diamanahkan.

"Saya fikir untuk kali ini, saya harap akan ada keberanian daripada mana-mana anggota gabungan. Tidak memadai dengan sekadar mengeluh sahaja, kalau ada yang berkemampuan mereka harus dicalonkan.

"Bola sepak Malaysia perlukan satu lonjakan yang besar. Masa sudah sampai, bercakap pun sudah lama dan macam-macam sudah kita lalui namun kalau sampai masa pemilihan, kita kembali kepada cara lama, maka tidak akan ada perubahan," katanya.

Annuar berkata demikian sebagai mengulas kenyataan Setiausaha Agung FAM Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin baru-baru ini, yang dilaporkan sebagai berkata bahawa mereka bersikap terbuka dalam soal pencalonan jawatan presiden FAM.

Beliau sebelum itu ditemui pemberita selepas majlis pelancaran Fiesta Kelantan 2014 dan pengenalan jersi AFC pasukan yang disempurnakan Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pelancongan Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz di ruang legar Bangunan Mara, di sini, hari ini.

Annuar, yang merupakan bekas Timbalan Presiden FAM, berkata Sultan Ahmad Shah yang masih menyandang jawatan Presiden wajar memberikan laluan kepada individu lain yang berkebolehan bagi memastikan bola sepak negara dapat melangkah ke hadapan.

"Bagi saya, terlalu banyak sumbangan yang diberikan oleh baginda namun bola sepak ini terlalu 'demanding', Tuanku Presiden sendiri bersedia membuka laluan kepada calon-calon baharu.

"Baginda sudah lakukan apa yang termampu untuk bola sepak Malaysia tetapi kita tidak boleh bergantung kepada masa lepas," katanya.

Selain jawatan presiden, Kongres FAM pada 25 Mei ini turut mempertandingkan kesemua jawatan tertinggi serta 10 kerusi exco termasuk dua jawatan baharu untuk calon wanita bagi penggal 2014-2018.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9.

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...
