PUTRAJAYA: The volleyball coach who slapped two teenage players will no longer be allowed to train anyone, especially children, says youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh.

At a press conference, Yeoh also said the Malaysian Volleyball Association has revoked the coach’s license.

Previously, a video showing the coach slapping the two players went viral. At the time, he was guiding the Melaka team in the Under-14 Youth Volleyball Championship.

The coach, Saiful Hadee Amar, 44, has since publicly apologised for his actions and said he was ready to face action for the incident in Johor.
