Yeoh predicts rise in sexual misconduct reports
KUALA LUMPUR: Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh is expecting more cases of sexual misconduct to come into the spotlight in the future. Yeoh said this is due to increased awareness within the sports community following the implementation of the Safe Sports Code, which was launched by Yeoh in 2023. The Safe Sports Code, which was implemented to provide a safe environment for all involved in sports, provides stakeholders a guideline in regards to their rights and what steps to take if they are faced with issues concerning misconduct. "There has again been more news, most recently a former (national) athlete and coach was charged in court for sexual misconduct," said Yeoh today. "With the Safe Sports Code and increased awareness we have now, I believe we will be reading about more cases like this. "I believe this is a positive development, cases like this can no longer be swept under the carpet. Action is being taken by the authorities. "I hope victims will be brave to come forward and file a report with the authorities if they face issues such as this." The case Yeoh was referring to was the case involving former national road cyclist Nor Effandy Rosli. The 1998 Commonwealth Games silver medallist claimed trial at the Sessions Court earlier this month to a charge of sexually assaulting a female trainee, who was 15, last year. Yeoh was speaking after officiating the 2024 Sportswriters Association of Malaysia (SAM)-100PLUS awards ceremony today (July 14).
