NIBONG TEBAL – The Education Ministry (MoE) has completed an investigation into the recent incident of a volleyball coach slapping two young female players, said its minister Fadhlina Sidek.
She said that the investigation report was submitted to MoE’s integrity unit for further action.
“I want to emphasise that we have stated from the beginning in this case that the process is very important. We have a space for justice for all parties, and even the coach can also make a representation. MoE does not compromise on violence,” she told reporters here today.
She said this after visiting the Bukit Panchor basketball court here, the location of the Nibong Tebal parliamentary free market 2023.
Fadhlina, who is also the MP for Nibong Tebal, said this when asked to comment on Melaka under-14 girls’ volleyball team coach Saidul Hadee Amar, who slapped two of his players in a tournament held in Johor from September 14 to 16, last year.
A video online shows the coach slapping two players while guiding the Melaka team in the Under-14 Youth Volleyball Championship.
Saiful, 44, has publicly apologised for his actions and said that he is ready to face action after the incident in Johor. – Bernama, January 8, 2023
