Silly of Akber


Eyebrows were raised as Bangladesh contingent's 10th SA Games Chef de Mission Maj Gen Akber Akter did not visit an ailing member of his team in hospital.

Judoka Ekramul Haque spent a night in hospital following a neck injury on Saturday but surprisingly, Akber, who is also the Bangladesh Judo Federation president, did not even bother to go and comfort the athlete.

Ekramul was injured during competition on Saturday but he was cleared of any danger only after a CT Scan and MRI before being released yesterday afternoon.

The incident only adds more woes to the official mismanagement that has been evident throughout the Games.
