The Youth and Sports Ministry will continue its investigation against the volleyball coach who slapped two volleyball players last month.
This is despite the coach having apologised and been forgiven by one of the players.
Taking to social media, Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh provided an explanation for continued action against the coach.
"The parent and state exco (executive councillor VP Shanmugam) have spoken but the ministry will continue its independent investigation because this is not about one coach or two players but a precedent we are setting for the next generation in sports.
"Education Minister Fadhlina Sidek and I are on this together," tweeted Yeoh.
The incident reportedly took place on Dec 14 at the 20th Malaysia Youth U14 Volleyball Championship during a match between Malacca and Johor.
It was alleged that the coach became emotional after his team did not perform as expected.
Shanmugam said on Monday that the Malacca Volleyball Association would decide on the fate of the coach by Jan 4.
Yesterday, the father of a player who was slapped said his daughter hoped the coach would retain his job. - Mkini
