Isu Pergaduhan Dua Atlet Olahraga Negara Selesai

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Jan (Bernama) -- Isu pergaduhan dua atlet olahraga negara iaitu jaguh lempar cakera, Muhammad Irfan Shamsuddin dan atlet lompat tinggi, A. Kavee Alagan akhirnya menemui jalan penyelesaian selepas mereka bersetuju untuk berdamai.

Mereka bersetuju berbuat demikian selepas hadir pada mesyuarat khas antara Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) dan Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) di Pejabat Pesuruhjaya Sukan di Bukit Jalil di sini hari ini.

Bercakap kepada pemberita selepas itu, Ketua Pengarah MSN, Ahmad Shapawi Ismail berterima kasih kepada Pengarah Teknikal KOM, Robert J. Ballard yang menjadi orang tengah kepada kedua-dua atlet berkenaan untuk berdamai.

Beliau berkata pihaknya turut menimbang mengembalikan semula elaun latihan serta kemudahan asrama yang sebelum ini ditarik balik kepada kedua-dua atlet itu selain turut disenaraikan dalam program persediaan khusus ke Sukan SEA 2015 di Singapura, Jun ini

"Kita akan mengadakan mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Kerja (dengan KOM) dalam tempoh terdekat mengenai perkara berkenaan," kata Ahmad Shapawi.

Beliau turut menjelaskan pihaknya bekerjasama dengan KOM bagi memastikan laporan polis yang dibuat oleh kedua-dua atlet berkenaan dapat ditarik semula.

"Kita telah berhubung dengan pihak polis mengenai perkara tersebut (bagi menarik balik laporan polis) dan mereka menyifatkan ia sebagai satu usaha yang baik," katanya.

Presiden KOM, Datuk Karim Ibrahim berterima kasih kepada kedua-dua atlet berkenaan sambil berharap ia menjadi pengajaran berguna kepada mereka untuk menjadi lebih matang.

Dalam pada itu, Muhammad Irfan, yang ditemui pemberita, mengakui ketiadaan elaun latihan dan kemudahan asrama menyukarkan beliau yang terpaksa berulang alik dari rumah sewanya di Damansara ke Bukit Jalil untuk sesi latihan harian.

"Alhamdulillah, insiden ini sudah selesai dan saya ingin berterima kasih kepada Mr Robert dan KOM yang banyak membantu saya menyelesaikan masalah ini. Fokus saya kini adalah ke Sukan SEA," kata Muhammad Irfan yang juga pemegang rekod kebangsaan acara lempar cakera.

Berkongsi nada yang sama adalah Kavee Alagan yang mahu memberi tumpuan kepada persediaan menghadapi Sukan SEA sambil berharap episod itu menjadi pengajaran berguna untuk mereka.

"Saya pun sudah melupakan perkara ini dan saya berharap ia tidak akan dipanjangkan lagi. Kini saya boleh memberi tumpuan kepada latihan saya untuk ke Sukan SEA nanti," jelasnya.

Media sebelum ini melaporkan kedua-dua atlet berkenaan terlibat dalam pergaduhan di asrama atlet Casa MSN, Bukit Jalil pada 20 Ogos, tahun lepas.

Berikutan insiden itu, mereka diarah keluar oleh MSN daripada asrama atlet di Bukit Jalil sehingga isu tersebut selesai.

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...

As such, the Prime Minister said, it was important to scout for young talents in sports. "I observe that the Malaysia Games (Sukma) has become one of the important platforms to do so. "In this arena, the potentials and skills of the youngsters can be identified for development so that they can achieve greater success in sports," he said in his message in the souvenir book of the 12th Sukma from May 31 until June 9. Abdullah said he was aware that competition in sports was very keen and challenging but this did not mean that Malaysian athletes were incapable of competing at the international level.

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...
