‘FAM perlu pembaharuan’


Kuala Lumpur: Sudah tiba masanya untuk seorang presiden baru mengemudi tampuk pemerintahan FAM apabila jawatan itu dipertandingkan pada kongres badan induk itu pada 25 Mei depan.
Bukan bermaksud menidakkan sumbangan presiden ketika ini iaitu Sultan Ahmad Shah, namun bekas Timbalan Presiden FAM Tan Sri Annuar Musa (gambar) berkata, situasi semasa sememangnya memerlukan satu pembaharuan dalam kepimpinan bola sepak di negara ini.

Annuar berkata, sekiranya semua pihak mahukan perubahan, maka beliau mencabar calon-calon yang berkelayakan serta berkaliber supaya tampil ke depan dan tidak hanya terus menerus menyalahkan presiden sedia ada kerana baginda berada di tampuk kepimpinan kini juga adalah kerana mendapat sokongan daripada ahli gabungan FAM.

“Sebenarnya daripada segi statut FAM, memang daripada dulu pun jawatan ini (presiden) dipertandingkan, masalahnya ramai yang takut nak tawarkan diri.

“Saya fikir untuk kali ini, harap ada keberanian daripada pihak badan gabungan, tak memadai dengan hanya mengeluh sepanjang masa.

“Kalau ada yang berkemampuan, mereka harus dicalonkan. Bola sepak Malaysia kini perlukan satu lonjakan yang besar.

“Masanya sudah sampai, bercakap pun sudah lama dan macam-macam yang sudah kita lalui. Tapi kalau sampai pemilihan kita balik kepada cara lama, maka tidak akan ada apa-apa perubahan,” katanya ketika ditemui pada majlis jersi AFC untuk pasukan Kelantan, semalam.

Annuar yang juga Penasihat Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA), menghormati sumbangan besar yang sudah dicurahkan oleh Sultan Ahmad Shah, tetapi beliau juga percaya Presiden FAM itu sudah bersedia untuk membuka laluan kepada calon-calon baru.
Ditanya siapakah calon yang beliau rasakan layak untuk mengambil alih jawatan itu, Annuar secara terbuka menyebut beberapa, antaranya termasuklah Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim.

“Saya rasa jawatan ini harus dipegang oleh salah satu presiden badan gabungan. Presiden PBNJ boleh, Presiden Sabah (Persatuan Bola Sepak Sabah), Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Negeri Sembilan (PBNS) dan Presiden Kuala Lumpur (Persatuan Bola Sepak Kuala Lumpur),” katanya.

Annuar tidak layak untuk bertanding pada Kongres FAM untuk penggal 2014-2018 kerana masih menjalani hukuman penggantungan dua tahun enam bulan sejak April 2012 kerana mengkritik skuad negara bimbingan Datuk K Rajagobal ketika itu.

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...
