‘Wira Malaysia’ diperkenal


Kuala Lumpur; Pakaian rasmi atlet kebangsaan kini diberi wajah baharu dan dikenali Wira Malaysia atau Malaysian Heroes.

Corak baharu ini yang kelihatan segar, menarik dan melambangkan sifat agresif, dicipta pereka fesyen tempatan, Melinda Looi adalah bagi menggantikan pakaian rasmi lama yang digunakan sejak hampir 10 tahun lalu.

Ia bakal digunakan buat pertama kali pada temasya Sukan Komanwel di Glasgow Scotland pada 23 Julai hingga 3 Ogos ini.

Berucap melancarkannya di Bukit Jalil di sini, semalam, Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar, berkata kit pakaian dengan corak baharu itu membawa satu kelainan kepada kontinjen negara seiring dengan nama Harimau Malaya.

“Sejak awal tahun ini, saya memulakan inisiatif dan akhirnya mendapat khidmat bantuan daripada pereka fesyen terkemuka, Melinda Looi. Ia menepati kehendak dan misi saya mengenai corak untuk pakaian rasmi pasukan kebangsaan.

“Kita sudah ada identiti dan saya suka reka bentuk yang ada tapi dia sudah digunakan 10 tahun. Jadi kita perlu ada identiti baharu. Sudah tiba masanya untuk kita meniup nafas segar kepada atlet negara,” katanya.

Sempena majlis itu, turut diadakan perjanjian persefahaman antara Sunrise & Co (Pte) Ltd, pemilik jenama Yonex dan MSN sebagai tanda jenama syarikat berkenaan akan menjadi pengeluar rasmi pakaian untuk atlet dan pegawai kebangsaan bagi temasya antarabangsa hingga tahun 2020.

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...
