KUCHING, April 8: The description of nine young Sarawak athletes from rural areas being neglected and left to fend for themselves, surviving on a minimal amount of food consisting of paku (wild fern) and rice is an \u201coverstatement\u201d, says Sarawak Amateur Boxing Association (Saba) president Datuk Rahman Lariwoo.<\/p>\n

Rahman added that he was \u201cvery disappointed\u201d with the report by the news portal DayakDaily on Tuesday highlighting their \u201cplight\u201d which had hurt the image of the association.<\/p>\n

He had received numerous calls and WhatsApp messages from the Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah and assistant minister Datuk Snowdan Lawan, Saba officials and friends over the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always have the welfare of the athletes and coaches in mind and we have always supplied food rations to the boxers not only during the Movement Control Order (MCO) due to the Covid-19 pandemic but also since three years ago when they were based at a house in Matang.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take good care of them as if they are my sons and l feel very sad to hear the report that said they are being neglected. As for the food rations, whenever they have a request, it will be attended to the very next day by myself or Saba officials,\u201d he told reporters after visiting the nine boxers and Filipino coach Wilbur Buag Andogan in the rented house at Sungai Maong yesterday.<\/p>\n

He was accompanied by Sukma Johor boxing team manager Hafisz Rachman.<\/p>\n

Rahman said previously the Sukma boxers, backup boxers as well as development athletes had also stayed together for training.<\/p>\n

According to Rahman, none of the boxers had spoken to the journalists concerned and he was flabbergasted as to how they did they gather the information that their menu for many days had only been rice fried with onion and anchovies, plus a dish of paku collected from a nearby swamp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe boxers acknowledged that someone came to the house one day to deliver some food to them but did not identify themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the delay of the allowances for some boxers, Saba has no control over this matter because it is under the jurisdiction of the Sarawak State Sports Council (MSNS) and its sports development officer (SDO) for boxing Arrolflynn Elvic Slie.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt may be due to the extension of the MCO or some other reason,\u201d added Rahman.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, MSNS director Dr Ong Kong Swee, who is also Sarawak Sports Corporation CEO, said the council is speeding up the process of paying the allowances to the Sukma athletes.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe delay in payment is due to the delay in sending the hard copy reports by the coaches as a result of the MCO and that\u2019s why we have requested for them to forward their reports via email. We have to follow the Standard of Procedure (SOP) in paying the allowances.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

\u201cWe are also paying the rentals of the houses where the athletes are staying and the salaries of the coaches accordingly and consistently.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll Sukma athletes shall get their allowances by this week,\u201d he assured, adding that MSNS will be conducting an investigation into the matter so that such thing will not happen again.<\/p>\n
