Khairy gesa tingkat mutu skuad kebangsaan


Kuala Lumpur: Prestasi hambar anak buah Datuk Ong Kim Swee pada aksi persahabatan di Cebu, Filipina Ahad lalu mengundang kerisauan Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar yang mahu Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) mencari segera formula terbaik membaiki persembahan pasukan negara.

Pada aksi di Pusat Sukan Kota Cebu itu, skuad kendalian Kim Swee hanya mampu seri 0-0 bertemu Filipina dengan hampir 70 peratus permainan dikuasai pasukan tuan rumah yang lebih terkenal dengan sukan bola keranjang.

ā€œSaya tidak mahu menyentuh banyak mengenai skuad negara. Walaupun kita tahu kedudukan Kim Swee hanya jurulatih sementara, tapi beliau sudah melakukan yang terbaik.

ā€œTerpulang kepada FAM memikirkan formula bagi memperbaiki persembahan pasukan kebangsaan,ā€ katanya ditemui pada pelancaran liga badminton profesional ā€˜Malaysia Purple Leagueā€™ di sini, semalam.

Khairy turut menegur FAM agar lebih komited dan bersungguh-sungguh dalam menangani kelemahan mutu pengadilan dalam saingan liga tempatan.

ā€œSoal kawal selia permainan bola sepak ini bukan di bawah KBS, tapi tanggungjawab FAM. ā€œPerkara ini kita sudah bangkitkan beberapa kali, namun masalah ini masih lagi berlaku. Saya harap FAM dapat pertingkatkan usaha membendung keganasan bola sepak di kalangan penyokong dan jangan pandang ringan perkara ini.

ā€œApabila ada tindakan atau serangan ke atas pengadil atau sebagainya, ia langsung tidak membantu malah menggalakkan penyokong untuk buat perkara sama. ā€œBayangkan pengurus pasukan dikatakan boleh menumbuk pengadil, sudah tentu penyokong melihat perbuatan itu. ā€œItu contoh yang tidak baik, justeru FAM harus mengambil tindakan pantas menghukum pengurus pasukan Johor Darul Taā€™zim II.

ā€œSaya juga minta FAM supaya meningkatkan kualiti pengadilan agar tidak ada apa-apa keraguan berlaku kerana ia boleh buat penyokong rasa tidak puas hati,ā€ katanya.

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...
