Malaysia hits back on Canada

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuter): Canada's allegation of match fixing by
Malaysia and India during a hockey qualifying match for the
Olympic Games was an insult to both countries, yesterday
newspapers quoted Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad as saying.

"It is easy to make allegations and they should prove it,"
Mahathir told reporters on Saturday evening after receiving
sponsorship cheques worth more than 3.3 million ringgit (US$1.3
million) for the Tour de Langkawi Cycling Championship.

The Canadian Hockey Federation (CHF) reported to the
International Hockey Federation (FIH) that Malaysia and India had
conspired to fix the match in Barcelona last month.
