KOM Hantar Kertas Cadangan Kepada MOM Mengenai Penganjuran MIM 2015

KUALA LUMPUR, 27 Jan (Bernama) -- Kesatuan Olahraga Malaysia (KOM) akan menghantar satu kertas cadangan kepada Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) mengenai Marathon Antarabangsa Malaysia (MIM) 2015 yang penganjurannya masih belum menemui jalan penyelesaian sehingga kini.

Ketua Pengarah, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN), Ahmad Shapawi Ismail berkata beliau telah dimaklumkan oleh Presiden KOM, Datuk Karim Ibrahim bahawa mereka akan berbuat demikian sebagai cara penyelesaian selepas MOM dilaporkan tetap berkeras untuk menggunakan nama asal.

"Ia memandangkan KOM merupakan anggota gabungan MOM...Saya dimaklumkan mereka (KOM) akan menghantar kertas cadangan itu dalam tempoh terdekat dan saya akan biarkan perkara ini diselesaikan oleh mereka.

"Terpulang kepada MOM sama ada mahu melihat cadangan berkenaan atau tidak," kata Ahmad Shapawi kepada pemberita selepas menhadiri mesyuarat bersama KOM di sini hari ini.

Karim sebelum ini bertegas bahawa KOM tidak akan mengiktiraf acara itu kerana mendakwa ia bertentangan dengan peraturan Persekutuan Olahraga Antarabangsa (IAAF) yang mensyaratkan mana-mana kejohanan olahraga perlu mendapat sokongan badan induk olahraga sesebuah negara.

Acara itu yang dijadual berlangsung 23 dan 24 Mei ini di Stadium Batu Kawan, Pulau Pinang dengan hadiah keseluruhan RM350,000 dianjurkan buat julung kalinya oleh MOM dengan matlamat mengutip dana bagi membantu persatuan sukan kebangsaan yang menghadapi kekangan kewangan.

Mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pemasaran dan Penajaan MOM pada minggu lepas membuat pusingan U dengan memutuskan untuk mengekalkan nama asal kerana mendakwa ia sesuai sebagai strategi pemasaran penaja larian tersebut.

Presiden MOM, Tan Sri Tunku Imran Tuanku Ja'afar pada 13 Jan lepas dilaporkan bercadang menukar nama MIM kepada Larian Jambatan Tuanku Abdul Halim setelah mendapat bantahan awal daripada KOM.

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...
