.Malaysian Amateur Athletics Union (MAAU) refused to take any blame over the inability of the national 4x400m men’s quartet to collect their gold medals at the ongoing Sea Games in Indonesia.
Instead, MAAU deputy president Karim Ibrahim (pic) said the blame should fall on Sea Games athletics team manager Rajemah Sheikh Ahmad, the National Sports Council (NSC) secretariat and the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM).
"It is her (Rajemah) responsibility to ensure the boys were able to pick up their well-deserved medals. I have no say in this. We have no jurisdiction over their arrangements there (Indonesia). All we do is recommend athletes to compete and finance those under category B," said Karim.
