"If the organisers had paid for all of it as suggested, we would not be suffering as we are now, We were left there in Miri to find our own way to Kuching. We were never offered any help to settle our bus fare or anything. But we knew this was just a total disaster, so we had to find our own way to Kuching and get back to Kuala Lumpur," claimed physiotherapist Ahmad Ramzi Ahmad Zaini.



Lampre Singapore team coach Ng Yong Li lambasted the organisers for saying they paid for the teams' passage home.



"Let me make this clear. We and all the teams left in Miri, including the MNCF commissaires, we all paid our own bus fare to get to Kuching," said Yong Li.



"If the organiser says so, he was standing right there when we were negotiating with a bus service provider. He never offered to pay for anything. He just ignored us."
