TMJ masih samar-samar


Johor Bahru: Masih menjadi tanda tanya sama ada Tunku Mahkota Johor Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim bersedia merebut jawatan Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM).

Beliau yang juga Presiden Persatuan Bolasepak Negeri Johor (PBNJ) masih belum menyatakan kesediaannya secara terbuka untuk bertanding dalam Mesyuarat Kongres Pemilihan FAM, Mei nanti.

“Semuanya terserah kepada ahli gabungan untuk membuat pilihan siapa calon bakal bertanding nanti.

“Itu semua kena tanya ahli gabungan, mereka lebih tahu siapa yang layak,” katanya ketika diminta mengulas kenyataan Penasihat Persatuan Bolasepak Kelantan (KAFA) Tan Sri Annuar Musa mengenai kesediaan beliau bertanding jawatan tertinggi itu.

Tunku Ismail ditemui ketika meninjau kemudahan gimnasium dan pusat pemulihan pemain di Padang Latihan Pasukan Johor Darul Ta’zim (Johor DT) di Seri Gelam, semalam.

Jawatan Presiden FAM yang kini disandang Sultan Ahmad Shah mula hangat dibincangkan apabila badan induk itu mengumumkan pencalonan kini dibuka sebelum kongres pemilihan Mei ini.
Kelmarin, Annuar menerusi status Facebook miliknya mengesahkan Tunku Ismail bersedia merebut jawatan berkenaan bagi penggal 2014-2018.

Sebelum ini, Tunku Ismail berkata beliau tidak terfikir untuk merebut mana-mana jawatan tertinggi badan induk itu kerana keutamaannya terhadap pembangunan bola sepak Johor, selain masih muda untuk memegang jawatan berkenaan.

Sementara itu, Johor DT menjadi pasukan bola sepak pertama di negara ini mempunyai kemudahan dan kelengkapan gimnasium serta pusat pemulihan pemain setaraf pasukan bola sepak profesional di luar negara.

Tunku Ismail berkata, kemudahan dan kelengkapan dimiliki pasukan itu juga setaraf dengan kemudahan di Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN).

“Selain MSN di negara ini, kami menjadi satu-satunya 'individu’ yang mempunyai kemudahan sebegitu di negara ini. Sebanyak RM3.2 juta dibelanjakan untuk kelengkapan ini dan tidak salah kita melabur untuk sesuatu yang berfaedah,” katanya.

Beliau juga merancang untuk menyediakan kemudahan lain termasuk memasang lampu limpah di padang latihan terbabit serta membangunkan akademi bola sepak untuk peringkat umur lebih muda.

Dijangkakan kemudahan dan peralatan di pusat pemulihan pemain itu lengkap sepenuhnya bulan depan.

Pusat itu dilengkapi kemudahan jakuzi, tub mandi ais, bilik persalinan pemain, gimnasium, pusat rawatan fisioterafi serta ruang pejabat jurulatih dan juga pengurus pasukan.

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...
