PETALING JAYA: The Terengganu Amateur Swimming Association has apologised for sending two Muslim girls to represent the state in the diving competition at the recent 21st Malaysian Games (Sukma) without the state government’s approval.
Terengganu state-run TV Darul Iman reported that the association’s president, Toh Chin Yaw, said it would take full responsibility for the action.
It said the association sent the divers to Kuching, Sarawak, on its own initiative, covering the costs with support from both the association and the athletes’ families.
Toh said while the state government has always reminded the association about attire requirements for Muslim athletes, the association was of the view that the dress code set by the national and international swimming bodies would be acceptable.
