Flood affects several sporting events in Sibu
By Andy Chua, Eastern Times
SIBU: The high level of flood water does not only affect economic activity in this town but also several sporting events which have to be either postponed or changed to another venue.One of the events is the Sarawak Invitation Volleyball Championship where heavy rain and extensive flooding have affected the scheduling of the competition.According to the organising chairman, Dr Gregory Hii, many players from rural areas, and some urban players have encountered problems in getting to the competition venue at Bukit Lima Indoor Stadium and could not check into the national service camp near SMK Wong Nai Siong.“As a result, only the fixtures for the men’s event will now be played at Heng Hua Garden instead of Bukit Lima. The time for the matches to be played remains the same. This is because the team from Johor Baru are already here, we can’t postpone it,” he added.The girl’s matches would be played on a later date to be resecheduled when the flood situation improves.The reception lunch which was originally scheduled for yesterday at Kingwood Hotel has also been postponed.Hii said the organising committee regretted the inconvenience caused to the participants.
