He
said he was shocked when he found many mistakes in the book and had sent
a letter to the organising committee to get clarification yesterday.
"Major mistakes such as the closing date for participation should not
have happened and we hope they can solve the problem as soon as
possible," he said when contacted by Bernama Tuesday. He said the
closing date for participation should be Nov 19, but it was printed as
Sept 15 in the book.
He said this was the first time MOM received the
technical guide book directly from the organiser, because previously the
organiser sent a draft first before filing up the guide book. "I also
request all NSAs to review the book carefully and to inform us if they
find any mistakes," he said. In a related development, he said the
selection committee meeting to the 2013 Myanmar SEA Games would be held
after Aidilfitri.
"We still do not know the number of athletes and
officials who will be sent to Myanmar. Our participation is estimated
at between 600 and 700 people," he said. Of the 33 events to be
contested at the Games, Malaysia will not take part in four events,
namely, wrestling, traditional boat race, and martial arts events kempo
and vovinam. The Myanmar SEA Games will be held from Dec 11 to 22.
