So… After securing re-election as Indonesian NOC president, Raja Okto decided to “f all and f everyone”

You really have to feel for the athletes who trained for this event, went to the trouble of qualifying, and might not get many other chances to compete in an event like this.

I had a friend who went to Malaysia and Tunisia for the badminton qualifiers as an official, it was so heartbreaking the first thing he heard when he landed back in his own country is the fact that all his hard work is now gone.

 

I thought this was another Israeli-related problem, but the Indonesian NOC actually did not file the budget to the Ministry of Finance (an official from high position in the ministry confirmed this). What the heck were they doing since 2022? I am baffled...
