Ramai mahu bantu Malaysia




KUALA LUMPUR - Permohonan bagi jawatan Pengarah Teknikal Berprestasi Tinggi Program Podium yang diperkenalkan Kementerian Belia dan Sukan baru-baru ini bagaikan ‘pisang goreng panas’ berikutan mendapat sambutan luar biasa.

Perkara tersebut didedahkan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Khairy Jamaluddin yang memberitahu, terlalu ramai calon memohon jawatan berkenaan hingga memerlukannya membuat penelitian rapi sebelum memilih individu sesuai.

Malah, Khairy turut menjelaskan, kebanyakan calon yang memohon adalah dari luar negara dan salah seorang daripadanya adalah Damien Kelly dari Australia.

“Damien Kelly ini pernah mempunyai pengalaman sebagai Pe­ngarah Teknikal dan ada calon lain dari luar negara.

“Dr. Brian Miller (Konsultan Berprestasi Tinggi Australia) pula tiada dalam senarai permohonan.

“Saya sendiri akan menemuduga semua calon tersebut dalam satu atau dua minggu lagi dan akan menilai sebaiknya calon sesuai sebelum melantik,” katanya dalam sidang akhbar pelancaran kejohanan Pertarungan Seni Mempertahankan Diri Campuran Inovasi Malaysia (MIMMA) musim ketiga, semalam.

Turut hadir, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Tune Talk, Jason Lo. 

Program Podium diperkenalkan untuk mencapai misi merangkul pingat emas pertama Malaysia pada Sukan Olimpik.

Malah, melalui program itu juga Malaysia berharap dapat menempatkan diri dalam kedudukan 10 terbaik pada Sukan Asia dan Komanwel. 

Sementara itu, Khairy membe­ritahu, penstrukturan Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) bagi menjayakan Program Podium dijangka memerlukan bajet yang besar, namun masih di peringkat penelitian.

Kata Khairy, banyak jawatan diperlukan dalam ISN terutama berkaitan pakar dalam sukan dan bajet yang diperlukan juga bergantung kepada jumlah atlet yang turut serta dalam Program Podium.

“Buat masa ini saya lihat ISN terlalu banyak pegawai dalam pentadbiran dan ia memerlukan penstrukturan semula untuk menambah lebih ramai pakar.

“Saya akan minta KSU (Ketua Setiausaha KBS) meneliti perkara ini sebelum keputusan dibuat berkaitan bajet,” katanya.

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.

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...
