Hasan's OCA status in question

JAKARTA (JP): Vice Chairman of the National Sports Council
(KONI) Harsuki said that the Chairman of the SEAG Federation Tan
Sri Imran Ibni Tuanku Jafar had inquired about the legal status
of the OCA's Vice President for the Southeast Asia zone Mohammad
'Bob' Hasan from Indonesia.

The timber tycoon is the defendant in an alleged fraudulent
forest aerial mapping project between 1989 and 1999.

"Tan Sri Imran has asked about Bob Hasan's status in a bid to
ensure that Southeast Asian sports development will not be
allowed to stagnate. If Hasan can resume the job, he will hold
the post until 2003."

"If he fails to do so, the member countries have asked us to
name his replacement to ensure that the Games go ahead smoothly.
KONI vice chairman Arie Sudewo has suggested that Hasan should be
replaced but that his successor must be Indonesian so that he or
she can defend Indonesia's interest. We will ask Hasan to name
his successor," he said.

The SEA Games will take place in Kuala Lumpur in September.
