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.

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

“Terpulang kepada FAM memikirkan formula bagi memperbaiki persembahan pasukan kebangsaan,” katanya ditemui pada pelancaran liga badminton profesional ‘Malaysia Purple League’ di sini, semalam.

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

“Soal kawal selia permainan bola sepak ini bukan di bawah KBS, tapi tanggungjawab FAM. “Perkara 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.

“Apabila ada tindakan atau serangan ke atas pengadil atau sebagainya, ia langsung tidak membantu malah menggalakkan penyokong untuk buat perkara sama. “Bayangkan pengurus pasukan dikatakan boleh menumbuk pengadil, sudah tentu penyokong melihat perbuatan itu. “Itu contoh yang tidak baik, justeru FAM harus mengambil tindakan pantas menghukum pengurus pasukan Johor Darul Ta’zim II.

“Saya juga minta FAM supaya meningkatkan kualiti pengadilan agar tidak ada apa-apa keraguan berlaku kerana ia boleh buat penyokong rasa tidak puas hati,” 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...

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...
