Sukma scandal: Alleged rape victim a chaperone for team



New revelations have unfol­ded in the alleged rape at the recently concluded Sukma – the girl has been revealed to be a chaperone for the Federal Territories women’s handball team.

The girl, who was a communications liaison to the girls’ team, was in charge of informing the athletes who were housed in a dorm in Second College in UPM on team instructions as the team’s head coach was male and thus, not allowed to enter the dorm.

A source close to the victim said the 19-year-old girl was “doing okay” and was now accompanied by her mother.

The source, however, claimed that security was not tight, adding that those in charge did not bother to inspect vehicles entering the Games Village. He said there was also no security personnel stationed at the dorm’s entrances.

A more visible security presence and sche­duled patrols would have deterred the players from smuggling alcohol into the Games Village, he added.

Meanwhile, a coach with the Federal Territories handball team said it was unfair to suspend all the coaches and athletes, adding that a thorough investigation should be carried out first.

“Only several individuals are guilty but the whole team and officials have been punished. It’s not fair for the innocent parties and this is not the right way to handle this matter,” he said.
