Tukar venue latihan ke KL




Kuala Lumpur: Venue kem latihan pusat fasa akhir kontinjen negara menghadapi Sukan SEA Singapura ditukar dari Skudai, Johor ke Kuala Lumpur, kata Ketua Kontinjen Negara, Datuk Seri Mohamad Norza Zakaria.

Beliau berkata, keputusan mengubah venue kem latihan itu dilakukan setelah mengambil kira pandangan persatuan sukan serta Institut Sukan Negara (ISN) bagi mengelak gangguan terhadap persiapan dan latihan atlet.

Latihan pusat fasa akhir dijadual diadakan di Universiti Teknoloji Malaysia (UTM) Skudai dari 28 hingga 30 Mei ini.

Bagaimanapun, Majlis Sukan Negara (MSN) akan menentukan venue di Kuala Lumpur dengan tarikh baru dari 22 hingga 24 Mei ini, katanya selepas mesyuarat pengurus pasukan bersama atlet dan pegawai daripada beberapa persatuan sukan di ISN, semalam.

Sukan SEA Singapura akan bermula secara rasmi dari 5 hingga 16 Jun ini.

Dalam pada itu, Norza berkata, keputusan tidak meletakkan sasaran pingat pada temasya sukan dwitahunan itu disebabkan peluang meraih pingat dalam sesuatu acara sukan adalah berbeza.
“Namun, bagi atlet elit, sasaran pingat itu harus dicapai berbanding dengan atlet pelapis kerana (kita) mahu bantu momentum mereka apabila Kuala Lumpur menjadi tuan rumah Sukan SEA pada 2017,” katanya.

Majlis Olimpik Malaysia (MOM) dijangka memuktamadkan senarai akhir kontinjen negara pada edisi ke-28 temasya sukan itu penghujung bulan ini.

Jawatankuasa Penganjur Sukan SEA Singapura (SINGSOC) sudah memutuskan untuk mempertandingkan 37 sukan termasuk memperkenal acara baharu iaitu ‘floorball’ yang menyerupai sukan hoki selain menggugurkan acara karate.

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...
