‘Nak jatuhkan saya’


Kuala Lumpur: “Saya percaya semua ini ada agenda untuk menjatuhkan saya.”
Demikian tegas Presiden Persatuan Angkat Berat Malaysia (PABM) Datuk Ong Poh Eng yang cukup yakin ada pihak cuba menjatuhkannya dengan mendakwa beliau terbabit dalam penyelewengan duit persatuan.

Menafikan segala tuduhan itu, Poh Eng sebaliknya memberi amaran kepada individu berkenaan supaya tidak bermain politik kerana beliau sememangnya ikhlas ingin membantu pihak persatuan selepas dilantik Presiden PABM yang baru, menggantikan Zafarul Akhbar Kassim penghujung 2012.
Poh Eng juga dapat menghidu individu yang ingin menjatuhkannya itu menggunakan taktik sama ketika menumbangkan Zafarul sebelum ini.

“Saya hanya mahu anda semua tahu, individu di belakang saya tidak bersikap baik. Saya perlukan kerjasama mereka, tapi realitinya sokongan itu tiada.

“Apa yang saya nampak, mereka juga menggunakan taktik sama menjatuhkan presiden sebelum ini.
“Saya baru dilantik dan banyak yang perlu dilakukan. Kalau mereka mahukan saya, berterus-terang atau buatlah keputusan pada AGM (Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan) akan datang,” katanya.

Berdasarkan laporan media sebelum ini, Poh Eng didakwa menggunakan wang persatuan yang diberikan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (KBS) sebanyak RM30,000 untuk kepentingan peribadi.

Bagaimanapun Poh Eng menegaskan, duit itu untuk menggantikan wang miliknya yang dikeluarkan terlebih dulu bagi membayar denda dikenakan Persatuan Angkat Berat Antarabangsa (IWF) berikutan kegagalan atlet negara dalam ujian doping pada beberapa kejohanan 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...
