Jangan main kotor – Karim



Itu nada berang bekas Timbalan Presiden Kesatuan Olahraga Ma­laysia (KOM), Datuk Karim Ibrahim kepada individu dalam badan induk tersebut yang cuba melancarkan serangan peribadi ke atasnya menjelang pemilihan Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan (AGM), Sabtu ini.

Karim yang akan bertanding untuk jawatan Presiden KOM memberitahu, individu tersebut telah menjadi dalang untuk memburukkan dirinya dengan cubaan melibatkan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Khairy Jamaluddin.

Semalam, satu laporan daripada hasil siasatan berhubung insiden atlet olahraga gagal ujian doping dua tahun lalu juga telah dihantar kepada Khairy pada sesi post mortem Sukan Asia 2014.
Tambah Karim, tindakan individu tersebut dianggap tidak profesional kerana cuba menghalang dirinya daripada bertanding.

Malah Karim berkata, pendiriannya tetap sama pada pemilihan tersebut iaitu tidak akan menarik diri daripada bertan­ding jawatan No. 1 KOM biarpun imejnya cuba diburukkan oleh individu yang dirahsiakan namanya itu, melainkan andai Menteri di Jabatan Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim mengesahkan untuk turut bertanding. 

“Bagi saya permai­nan yang cuba digunakan individu tersebut sangat kotor .

“Selain memburukkan saya dia juga merancang untuk melibatkan pihak di peringkat atasan seperti Menteri Belia dan Sukan (Khairy Jamaluddin).

“Saya percaya ini bukan cara terbaik untuk meraih perhatian Menteri.

“Beliau (Menteri) pastinya lebih terbuka malah mahkamah juga sebelum ini telah membuktikan bahawa saya tidak bersalah,” katanya ketika dihubungi Utusan Malaysia di sini, semalam.

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...
