KUALA LUMPUR: The Selangor Athletics Association has stripped SM Muthu of his presidency and membership for life in connection with an alleged siphoning of RM100,000 from the association’s fixed deposit account.
The decision against Muthu, who is also the Malaysian Athletics Federation president, and two other SAA officials, was made unanimously at the association’s extraordinary general meeting today, which was attended by 39 members.
EGM independent chairman Mohamad Zufarsyah Mohamad Idrakisyah said that there had been irregularities involving funds amounting to a total of RM110,000 from the association’s fixed deposit account and from development funds given to the association by the Selangor sports council.
“Three motions were put forward, namely to strip Muthu of his president’s post and withdraw his membership for life. Similar motions were made against SAA’s former secretary Abdul Rahim Mohd Noor and former treasurer Mohd Fauzi Manivannan Abdullah,” he told Bernama when met at Wisma OCM here today.
He added that several copies of documents were also tendered as evidence of the alleged financial impropriety at the tension-filled EGM, which lasted over three hours.
Association vice-president Warughese Abraham said the SAA will lodge a police report as well as bring the matter up with the Malaysian sports commissioner.
