‘Wira Malaysia’ Rekaan Melinda Looi Untuk Atlet Malaysia


KUALA LUMPUR – Koleksi baharu pakaian rasmi kontinjen Malaysia akan diperagakan oleh atlet negara buat pertama kali pada temasya Sukan Komanwel di Glasgow, Scotland, Julai ini.

Dikenali sebagai ‘Wira Malaysia’, koleksi rekaan pereka fesyen terkenal Melinda Looi itu merangkumi set pakaian rasmi untuk acara perarakan pada perasmian temasya sukan dan kit atlet merangkumi trek sut, kemeja-T berkolar dan tidak berkolar, beg dan topi.

Pada majlis pembukaan dan perarakan masuk temasya sukan, kontinjen negara akan mengenakan baju kurung dan selendang bagi atlet wanita dan baju Melayu bersampin bagi atlet lelaki bermotifkan corak songket mengikut warna Harimau Malaya iaitu oren dan hitam.

Berucap melancarkan koleksi bercorak baharu itu di sini hari ini, Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin berkata setelah hampir 10 tahun, sudah tiba masanya ia diberi nafas baharu supaya lebih segar, menarik, bertenaga dan ‘lebih garang’ seiring dengan nama Harimau Malaya yang dibawa.
“Sudah pasti corak baju tidak menentukan kemenangan tetapi ia boleh menaikkan semangat kita sebagai identiti negara,” katanya. Kit kontinjen negara sedia ada mula digunakan sejak November 2005.

Khairy berkata beliau mendapat ilham untuk memperbaharui rekaan pakaian rasmi kontinjen negara menerusi penampilan pasukan bola sepak Itali dan Great Britain yang mana pakaian rasmi masing-masing pernah mendapat sentuhan golongan pereka tersohor.

“Kita bukan sahaja mahu melihat dari segi prestasi tetapi juga mahu memberikan gambaran penampilan atlet negara sebagai sebahagian daripada aset dan gaya kepada mereka,” katanya.
Sementara itu, beberapa atlet kebangsaan yang ditemui berkata corak baharu pakaian rasmi kontinjen kebangsaan itu mampu meniup semangat baharu kepada mereka yang bakal beraksi di Sukan Komanwel nanti.

Ratu terjun negara Pandalela Rinong yang dikenali antara yang gemar berfesyen, berkata beliau teruja dengan rekaan baharu lebih segar itu yang sedikit sebanyak mampu meningkatkan motivasi atlet kebangsaan.

Pandangannya itu dikongsi jaguh badminton nombor satu dunia Datuk Lee Chong Wei yang berkata koleksi baharu itu akan menguatkan lagi semangatnya untuk berjuang di arena antarabangsa.

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...
