No decision reached yet on Megat’s breach of MHC rules

- PETALING

Kuala Lumpur Hockey Associatio­n (KLHA) president Datuk Seri Megat D. Shahriman Zaharudin has escaped sanction for breaching two code of conduct cases – for now.

The Malaysian Hockey Confederat­ion (MHC) executive board met on Saturday but could not come to a conclusion on the cases against Megat.

Megat is currently under suspension from all hockey activities for breaking MHC’s code of conduct over making statements to the press and sponsors about the Malaysian Hockey League (MHL) prize money.

He was also alleged to have not followed the Covid-19 standard operating procedures (SOP) during the KL and Negri Sembilan match in the closed door Razak Cup competitio­n at the National Hockey

Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Sept 19.

MHC president Datuk Seri Subahan Kamal said that no decision was made as the disciplina­ry committee chairman Datuk T. Thavalinga­m could not attend the meeting as he was unwell.

“Both cases were discussed. We could not make a decision as the reports are not ready. But I would like to state here that the MHC are governed by rules and regulation­s and “Cowboy” rules have no place in our set-up,” said Subahan.

“The disciplina­ry committee could not come to a conclusion and present their case as Datuk T. Thavalinga­m is not feeling well.

“On his second case of breaching the SOP during the Razak Cup, competitio­ns committee chairman Datuk Seri Anil Jeet Singh will hand in his report next week.”
