Perak ditawar tuan rumah Sukma 2018

IPOH - Perak ditawarkan menjadi tuan rumah Sukan Malaysia (Sukma) pada 2018 namun sama ada negeri ini sanggup memikul tugas sebagai penganjur akan dikaji terlebih dahulu.

Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Belia, Sukan, Komunikasi dan Belia negeri, Datuk Shahrulzaman Yahya yang mendedahkan perkara itu berkata, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) membuat tawaran berkenaan baru-baru ini namun kerajaan negeri belum memberikan jawapan.

Menurutnya, banyak perkara perlu diteliti berhubung tawaran itu terutamanya kesediaan dan kebolehan Perak untuk menjadi penganjur selepas menjadi tuan rumah pada 1994.

"MSN menawarkan kita menjadi tuan rumah Sukma 2018 iaitu selepas Sarawak yang menganjurkan kejohanan pada 2016.

"Namun segala-galanya terpulang kepada kesediaan kita untuk menganjurkan temasya sukan ini. MSN perlu mengadakan kajian untuk mengetahui sama ada Perak memiliki prasarana yang diperlukan.

"Kajian harus dibuat untuk memastikan sama ada Perak benar-benar bersedia atau tidak untuk menjadi penganjur temasya sukan ini," katanya ketika berucap pada Penyampaian Skim Insentif Sukma Perlis di sini hari ini.

Yang turut hadir Setiausaha Kerajaan Negeri yang juga Ketua Kontinjen Perak ke Sukma di Perlis, Datuk Seri Abdul Puhat Mat Nayan.

Pada Sukma di Perlis baru-baru ini, Perak menduduki tempat keenam keseluruhan dengan 24 pingat emas, 24 perak dan 36 gangsa.

Perak turut memenangi acara 'ibu segala pingat emas' iaitu acara bola sepak selain pasukan hoki lelakinya memenangi pingat emas selepas 12 tahun.

Pada majlis berkenaan, kontinjen olahraga muncul penerima insentif tertinggi yang berjumlah RM60,000 hasil kejayaan membawa pulang 6 emas, 6 perak dan 7 gangsa.

Sementara itu, Shahrulzaman berkata, ekoran pencapaian cemerlang kontinjen negeri ini pada Sukma lalu, Perak meletakan sasaran untuk muncul juara keseluruhan pada 2018.

"Tidak kira sama ada Perak menjadi tuan rumah Sukma pada 2018, sasaran kita adalah untuk muncul juara dalam tempoh empat tahun lagi," 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...

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...
