SAM risau kemudahan SUKMA belum siap


Arau: Persatuan Penulis Penulis Sukan Malaysia (SAM) melahirkan kebimbangan terhadap persiapan penganjur Sukan Malaysia (SUKMA) Ke-17 2014 di Perlis kerana terdapat banyak kekurangan selain kemudahan peralatan belum disiapkan untuk kegunaan petugas media.
Presiden SAM Ahmad Khawari Isa berkata, berdasarkan lawatan kelmarin, pihaknya mendapati beberapa venue termasuk Stadium Utama, Kompleks Aquatik dan juga Sek retariat SUKMA yang menempatkan pusat media utama belum disiapkan.

“Menjadi kebiasaan SAM melakukan lawatan awal bagi meninjau persiapan sebarang temasya sukan utama tempatan termasuk sehingga ke Sukan SEA. Namun kali ini SAM berasa risau sikit kerana terlalu sedikit persiapan dibuat.

“Kami belum nampak sebarang kemudahan untuk petugas media sedangkan SUKMA akan berlangsung dalam tempoh kurang sebulan.

“Sebagai wakil kepada pengamal media, kami hanya berpegang kepada jaminan penganjur dan berharap mereka dapat mengotakan janji kesemua kemudahan itu akan siap sepenuhnya menjelang kejohanan itu, hujung bulan depan,” katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian ketika ditemui selepas perlawanan bola sepak persahabatan antara SAM dan Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) di Kompleks Sukan Syed Sirajuddin Areeb Putra, UniMAP, malam kelmarin.

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...

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...
