Proposal to fire the kitchen manager

The Department of High Performance Sports , Department of Physical Education and Sports has just reported and proposed to review individuals and groups to the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, related to the incident of the national youth table tennis team. Accordingly, the kitchen manager of the youth table tennis team will be disciplined by being dismissed and transferred to another department.

Previously, Mr. Phan Anh Tuan - General Secretary of the Vietnam Table Tennis Federation, in charge of table tennis at the Department of Sports and Physical Training, resigned from his position. Mr. Tuan is still the General Secretary of the Federation but no longer holds the position of in charge of the department at the Department.

The meal of the Vietnamese youth table tennis team once caused public outrage.

On October 2, social media went viral with images of a meal that was said to cost 800,000 VND for 8 young athletes. Public opinion was outraged when the meal only had 4-5 basic dishes, not commensurate with the amount of money mentioned above. In addition, the breakfast, which was set at 100,000 VND, only had a handful of sticky rice and a bottle of soft drink.

The team's coach, Bui Xuan Ha, is said to have collected money from the athletes. Each person had to pay a different amount to the head coach. This collection of money is not included in the rules and regulations. In meetings from the afternoon of October 3, the Department of Sports and Physical Training recorded reports from the team and related parties, continuing to verify and clarify the matter.

After receiving the feedback, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism stepped in and directed the Department of Sports to coordinate with relevant units to clarify the matter. The Department of Sports stopped training with the team's coaching staff and brought the team back to the National Sports Training Center in Hanoi. Up to this point, the meals of the Vietnamese youth table tennis team's athletes have been adequate and they are no longer hungry despite the high food allowance.

According to VTC News, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism will base on the explanation of the relevant parties. After that, the Ministry's leaders will officially issue the penalty on November 5.
