Shahidan tidak layak bertanding

BEKAS Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Perlis (PFA), Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim tidak dibenarkan bertanding pada pemilihan Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM) 25 Mei depan.

Perkara itu disahkan oleh seorang sumber dalaman FAM ketika dihubungi Kosmo! semalam.
Menurut sumber tersebut, setiap calon yang berhasrat bertanding haruslah bebas daripada hukuman penggantungan.

Pada Februari tahun lalu, FAM telah mengenakan hukuman penggantungan selama dua tahun enam bulan ke atas Shahidan selain denda RM39,000.

Ini kerana FAM mendapati Shahidan bersalah melanggar Statut FAM Artikel 88 kerana mengkritik badan induk itu secara terbuka.
“Mana-mana calon yang mahu bertanding pada Kongres FAM itu nanti harus bebas daripada sebarang hukuman penggantungan.

“Jika beliau masih berminat untuk bertanding, maka beliau haruslah tunggu sehingga tempoh penggantungan itu tamat.
“Yang pasti, calon yang masih menjalani hukuman penggantungan tidak dibenarkan untuk bertanding pada pemilihan itu nanti,” katanya kepada Kosmo! semalam.

Ketika ditanya adakah Shahidan dibenar membuat rayuan bagi membolehkannya bertanding, sumber itu berkata: “Sebarang rayuan tidak akan diterima memandangkan penggantungan tersebut adalah paling minimum.

“Beliau tidak boleh merayu kerana setiap calon yang dikenakan hukuman minimum, tidak akan dibenarkan membuat sebarang rayuan.”

Selain Shahidan, FAM turut mengenakan hukuman yang sama terhadap Presiden Persatuan Bola Sepak Kelantan (KAFA), Tan Sri Annuar Musa.

Annuar yang ketika itu turut memegang jawatan sebagai Timbalan Presiden FAM didakwa didapati bersalah melanggar Statut FAM Artikel 88 ekoran mengkritik skuad kebangsaan pada April 2012.
Terdahulu, FAM telah mengumumkan sesi pemilihan baharu bagi penggal 2014-2018 akan diadakan pada Kongres FAM 25 Mei depan.

Jawatan-jawatan yang bakal dipertandingkan adalah Presiden, Timbalan Presiden (dua), Naib Presiden (empat) dan 10 ahli Exco FAM yang terdiri daripada lapan lelaki serta dua wanita.

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...
