SINGAPORE: The police are investigating Joseph Schooling's former manager Hafidz Ja'afar about claims he did not provide the tickets he was offering for sale to a recent International Champions Cup football game played in Singapore.
"He is not authorised to transact any business, collect any monies or act in any capacity whatsoever on behalf of our company," Swim Schooling wrote. But two weeks after the transaction, David said Mr Hafidz told him he had received the tickets"by mistake" and that he would arrange to deliver them within that week."Each time, he would say that he was hospitalised, had fainted, was in hospital doing tests and got delayed. Or he was sick, but his wife was working overtime so she couldn't help him deliver. Then he got his cousin to help him, but the timings clashed.
Weeks before the match, David said Mr Hafidz created a WhatsApp group with those who were still owed the tickets. In messages seen by CNA, Mr Hafidz said he was"struggling" with his employment at Schooling's swim school and health issues like kidney stones and giddy spells."There is no intention to delay or not to produce the tickets but give me by end of tomorrow for me to clear all the mess.
"Left WhatsApp group, blocked on WhatsApp, uncontactable with our money and tickets in his pockets. Anyone else face this problem with him," said one Zulhikam Zullkefle, who also filed a police report.
