Jangan harap

Kuala Lumpur: Tiada ruang untuk mana-mana individu yang masih menjalani hukuman Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) untuk bertanding pada Mesyuarat Kongres Pemilihan FAM pada 25 Mei ini.

Biarpun ada kedengaran bekas Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Perlis (PFA) Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim dan Penasihat Persatuan Bolasepak Kelantan (KAFA) Tan Sri Annuar Musa wajar diberikan peluang untuk dicalonkan pada pemilihan itu bagi merebut jawatan tertinggi, namun ia tidak akan berlaku kali ini.

Menurut sumber dalaman FAM, individu yang masih menjalani hukuman tidak dibenarkan bertanding, malah dalam kes Shahidan dan Annuar, kedua-dua individu itu tidak dibenarkan membuat rayuan untuk mengurangkan hukuman atas kesalahan melanggar Artikel 88 Statut FAM.

“Mana-mana calon berhasrat untuk bertanding dalam Mesyuarat Kongres Pemilihan FAM pada Mei nanti perlu bebas daripada sebarang hukuman. Jika masih berminat untuk bertanding, maka beliau haruslah tunggu sehingga selepas tamat tempoh pergantungan.

“Perkara ini sudah ditetapkan sebelum ini, calon yang masih dalam pergantungan tidak dibenarkan bertanding dan dalam kes Shahidan dan Annuar, hukuman dikenakan ke atas mereka adalah yang paling minimum, jadi tiada rayuan.” katanya.

Shahidan dan Annuar antara dua individu berpengaruh dalam bola sepak tempatan apabila menjadi penyumbang kepada pembangunan bola sepak di negeri masing-masing dan ada pihak, khususnya peminat tempatan berpendapat mereka antara calon yang dilihat boleh merebut jawatan tertinggi dalam FAM.
Bagaimanapun pada Februari tahun lalu, Shahidan dikenakan hukuman gantung dua tahun enam bulan serta denda RM39,000 apabila didapati bersalah melanggar Artikel 88 gara-gara mengkritik FAM secara terbuka.

Beliau menuruti nasib malang menimpa bekas Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tan Sri Annuar Musa yang turut dikenakan tempoh penggantungan sama, bermula April 2012 kerana mengkritik prestasi skuad kebangsaan kendalian Datuk K Rajagobal.
FAM sebelum ini membuka pencalonan kepada semua ahli gabungan bagi pemilihan baru Exco FAM untuk penggal 2014-2018 menerusi Mesyuarat Kongres Pemilihan FAM, Mei nanti.

Jawatan yang bakal dipertandingkan membabitkan Presiden, Timbalan Presiden (dua), Naib Presiden (empat) dan 10 ahli Exco FAM membabitkan lapan lelaki serta dua wanita.

Dalam laporan Arena Metro semalam, Annuar menerusi status Facebook miliknya mengesahkan Presiden Persatuan Bola\sepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) Tengku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim bersedia untuk bertanding jawatan Presiden FAM yang kini disandang Sultan Ahmad Shah.

Sebelum ini Tengku Mahkota Pahang yang juga Timbalan Presiden FAM, Tengku Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah turut tidak menolak kemungkinan merebut jawatan tertinggi sekiranya mendapat sokongan ahli gabungan.

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...
