Malah pemain kelahiran Alor Setar itu sendiri meletakkan sasaran mara hingga ke perlawanan akhir dan mungkin akan berlaku pertemuan sesama sendiri menentang pemain nombor satu dunia, Datuk Lee Chong Wei.

“Saya rasa tempoh tiga minggu sudah cukup untuk membuat persiapan menjelang Sukan Komanwel,” katanya pada Majlis Penyampaian Skim Hadiah Kemenangan Sukan (Shakam) skuad Piala Thomas 2014, kelmarin.

Kata Wei Feng, selepas pulang dari New Delhi, dia beraksi di Siri Super Terbuka Jepun dan Siri Super Premier Terbuka Indonesia dan terkandas di pusingan kedua pada kedua-dua kejohanan, namun langsung tidak menghalang semangatnya.

“Saya akan cuba membuatkan rakyat Malaysia gembira di Komanwel selepas diberi kepercayaan mewakili negara.

“Prestasi saya sangat baik di Piala Thomas dan saya cuba mengulanginya malah ketika di Terbuka Jepun saya berjaya menumpaskan pemain lebih bagus, Son Wan Ho dari Korea Selatan,” katanya.
Pemain nombor 17 dunia itu, mengakui dia kini cuba membina keyakinan peringkat demi peringkat.
Ditanya siapakah pencabar di Glasgow, Wei Feng berkata, dua pemain perseorangan India, Kashyap Parupalli dan K Srikanth perlu diberi perhatian.

“Pemain lain mungkin Rajiv Ouseph dari England dan juga Singapura, Derek Wong Zi Liang,” katanya yang turut perlu bersedia bagi acara beregu jika diperlukan bagi acara berpasukan.

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...
