Organisers Submitted Sports Commissioner's Approval Letter Too Late - Police
Last update: 14/01/2018

SHAH ALAM, Jan 14 (Bernama) -- Selangor police chief Datuk Mazlan Mansor said the organisers of the Pulau Indah 180 Cycling Challenge, Central Spectrum Sdn Bhd (CSSB),  had delayed submitting the approval letter from the sports commissioner, leaving the department with insufficient time to support the event.

He said the organisers only submitted the approval letter to the police at about 12.45 am today, just six hours before the race.

"With such short notice, it is impossible for the police to provide enough personnel to control traffic for the 180km race,  which involves the police districts of Klang, Banting and Sepang.

"Organisers should submit the approval letter at least 24 hours before an event. If the organisers had complied with this procedure, the police would have had no problem cooperating," he said when contacted by Bernama.

About 1,000 participants who had signed up for the competition were left disappointed, when the organisers announced that it was being called off due to safety reasons.

CSSB chief executive officer, Datuk Mahmud Abbas, assured that all participation fees would be refunded.
