Accept awards decision’ 05:55 AM May 13, 2009The Singapore Table Tennis Association’s (STTA) decision not to nominate Liu Guodong for the Coach of the Year award was highly controversial.
Speaking to media at the 2nd Singapore Sports Networking Session at the F1 Pit Building yesterday, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for the Ministry of Community Development, Youth and Sports and Ministry of Transport, Teo Ser Luck, said: “I respect the decision of the Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) and I also respect the decision of the nomination committee within STTA.[/B]“They must have their reasons. SNOC made the decision not to select anyone for the award and they must also have their reasons. I respect that. We will just have to abide by what they’ve decided and that’s the outcome.”
While some have called for a review of the awards’ nomination process - only national sports associations can nominate candidates for the Singapore Sports Awards - Teo stressed that the decision remained with the SNOC.
“I think for many years SNOC have had a criteria of who they will select from the nominated name list so it will be an SNOC decision whether they want to review it or not,” said Teo. Low Lin Fhoong
