S. Ice Hockey Responds: Court Is Responsible for Drafting the Bill - INN News

Article Summary:

The Ice Hockey Association of Thailand is facing scrutiny over an alleged overcharge regarding the rental of the Thailand International Ice Hockey Arena for the SEA Games. Mr. Phumwisan Kasemsuk, from the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission, led the investigation after complaints from Mr. Jumpol Krusakdapong, the rink’s owner. He claimed that the association was invoicing around 700,000 baht monthly, significantly higher than the agreed rental cost, which was approximately 200,000 to 300,000 baht.

Mr. Jumpol noted that the rental fee was initially set at 13,000 baht per session but was later misrepresented in invoices. He stated that he never approved the inflated amounts and questioned the legitimacy of the invoices issued, which showed undue signatures and seals. The Ice Hockey Association, however, defended its actions, producing documentation that indicated payments made per the invoice amounts of 720,000 baht for several months.

The investigation highlights discrepancies in financial practices within the association, as it turned over original invoices to the Sports Authority of Thailand for payment. The situation raises concerns about transparency and accountability in financial dealings related to sports event preparations.
