‘Bersedialah PKBM’


Kuala Lumpur: Setiausaha Kehormat Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) Datuk Sieh Kok Chi menasihatkan Persekutuan Kebangsaan Berbasikal Malaysia (PKBM) agar memahami secara terperinci pertuduhan yang dikemukakan kepada mereka termasuk mendapatkan khidmat peguam sekiranya perlu.

PKBM kini berdepan penggantungan pendaftaran andai gagal memberikan alasan kukuh terhadap surat tunjuk sebab dikeluarkan Pejabat Pesuruhjaya Sukan (PPS) beberapa hari lalu susulan isu peruntukan kewangan yang disalurkan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) dari 2011 hingga tahun lalu.

PKBM sebelum ini pernah dipanggil pihak audit dalaman KBS dan seterusnya Panel Penasihat Sukan bagi memberi penjelasan namun ia jelas mencukupi kerana keputusan tidak memihak mereka apabila Menteri Belia dan Sukan Khairy Jamaluddin Abu Bakar pada Khamis lalu mengarahkan proses ke arah penggantungan.

Khairy selepas mesyuarat bersama Panel Penasihat Sukan menjelaskan banyak pelanggaran terhadap perlembagaan yang berlaku, salah urus kewangan, konflik kepentingan dan kekurangan tanggungjawab yang serius berlaku untuk tempoh yang lama.

“Mereka (PKBM) perlu memahami surat tunjuk sebab berkenaan dengan baik kerana apa yang saya dengar daripada satu pihak, terdapat perkara yang tidak jelas, lebih baik dapatkan khidmat peguam untuk menyemaknya. “Sekiranya terdapat tuduhan yang tidak difahami, mereka perlu mendapatkan penjelasan dan menjawabnya dengan teliti.

“Setiap keterangan perlu disertakan dengan bukti yang lebih banyak dan jelas,” kata Kok Chi mengulas isu yang dialami PKBM ketika ini.
PKBM mempunyai tempoh 14 hari, hingga 4 September untuk menjawab surat tunjuk sebab berkenaan, namun badan berkenaan dilaporkan akan terlebih dulu mengadakan mesyuarat exco bagi membincangkannya.

Presiden PKBM Datuk Abu Samah Wahab menyifatkan insiden itu dugaan paling hebat perlu ditempuhi kepimpinannya namun berjanji akan membalas surat tunjuk sebab berkenaan dalam tempoh yang ditetapkan.
“Saya harap mereka melihat ini secara serius kerana ia memberi impak yang sangat besar. Penggantungan ini tidak membabitkan individu, namun persatuan termasuk hubungan dengan badan induk antarabangsa,” katanya.

Isu PKBM bermula susulan kegagalan pelumba lebuh raya di Sukan SEA 2013 meraih emas walaupun peruntukan setiap tahun disalurkan KBS menerusi penganjuran Le Tour de Langkawi (LTdL).

Kali terakhir pelumba negara meraih emas di temasya Sukan SEA Filipina pada 2005.

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...
