PDRM sedia lepas

Kuala Lumpur: Ketika Persatuan Bolasepak Malaysia (FAM) berhajat besar memancing Dollah Salleh, pengendali itu hingga kini masih belum membuat kenyataan sama ada mahu menerima tawaran selaku ketua jurulatih skuad kebangsaan kerana berada dalam dilema untuk melepaskan tugasnya bersama juara Liga Perdana Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM).

Badan induk bola sepak negara itu menerusi Mesyuarat Exco FAM kelmarin membuat keputusan menawarkan kontrak dua tahun kepada bekas penyerang kebangsaan Dollah bagi membimbing Harimau Malaya namun Setiausaha Kehormat Persatuan Bolasepak PDRM Datuk Muhammad Fuad Abu Zarin mendedahkan hingga kini perkara itu belum lagi diputuskan.

“Dollah belum buat keputusan kerana berada dalam dilema selepas membantu PDRM memenangi Liga Perdana. Beliau mahu terus bersama pasukan ini khususnya bagi kempen Piala Malaysia serta Liga Super musim depan.

“Beliau baru saja ambil pasukan ini dan masih belum puas hati. Kalau boleh Dollah mahu pasukan yang dibentuknya berada dalam kedudukan kukuh. “Sebelum ini Dollah pernah memberitahu kami beliau sudah tiga kali menolak tawaran FAM dan kini berada dalam keadaan serba salah.

“Setakat ini juga FAM tidak pernah berbincang dengan kami, mungkin mereka hanya mengadakan perbincangan dengan Dollah saja. Tapi kami menyerahkan kepada Dollah untuk membuat keputusan, memang kalau boleh kami tidak mahu melepaskannya tapi kami juga perlu memberi keutamaan kepada kepentingan negara,” katanya.

Dollah, 50, menjadi pilihan FAM bagi mengambil tempat ditinggalkan Datuk K Rajagobal berdasarkan pengalamannya sebagai pemain dan kejayaannya selaku jurulatih termasuk memenangi tiga Piala Malaysia bersama Selangor MPPJ pada 2003, Selangor (2005) dan Pahang (2013).
Beliau kemudian tidak menunggu lama untuk menghadiahkan kejayaan kepada PDRM selepas mengikat kontrak pada November lalu apabila memastikan The Cops muncul juara Liga Perdana musim ini sekali gus layak secara automatik ke Liga Super tahun depan.

Selain pengalaman itu, FAM mengakui mereka kesuntukan masa untuk mencari pengganti bagi membuat persiapan Piala AFF hujung tahun ini menjadi antara faktor pemilihan itu memandangkan pengendali sementara Datuk Ong Kim Swee sibuk menguruskan skuad Harimau Muda A manakala dua calon dari Jerman, Wolfgang Sidka dan Gert Engels pasti memerlukan masa lebih lama untuk menyesuaikan diri.

Menurut Muhammad Fuad, mereka berharap mereka boleh menggunakan khidmat Dollah sekurang-kurangnya bagi kempen Piala Malaysia pada Ogos ini sebelum beliau menyertai skuad kebangsaan.

“Kalau boleh biarlah beliau pergi selepas Piala Malaysia, sebab kami belum mempunyai penggantinya. Kalau Dollah pergi, pasti beliau akan membawa bersama pegawai kejurulatihan bersamanya, apa yang tinggal untuk PDRM? Kami harap perkara ini akan dibincangkan segera kerana kontrak Dollah masih ada hingga November ini dan terserah kepadanya untuk membuat keputusan,” jelasnya.

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...
