Too much money on foreign experts. [Newspaper] (2022)
Abstract
Sports event promoter Melvin Chia does not blame the Sports Ministry for implementing the recent budget cuts but believes it could have been avoided with better decision-making from the start. Melvin, who is also the Malaysia Snooker and Billiards Federation (MSBF) president, said too much money was spent on hiring foreign expertise during the early days of the Podium Programme. The Podium Programme, founded in 2015, folded at the end of last year. A number of foreign specialists, most notably from Australia, were hired to steer the programme. Many of them have since left. "You can't blame the Sports Minister (Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu) for the budget cuts because he really didn't have a choice," said Melvin yesterday.
