MIRI: I do not accept your apology, former national sprinter Watson Nyambek said after a meeting with representatives from TV3 and Primeworks Studios, the producer of the “Sukan Tak Sentral” television programme.

Watson uttered these words during the meeting at the Grand Palace Hotel Miri after the hosts of the programme allegedly made degrading remarks about his late father during their show on Saturday.

“I cannot say anything more on this because I am really mad and disappointed as I cannot accept the actions made by the TV host.

“I hope that this will not happen again in the near future to people in this peaceful country.

“Today I do not accept this apology and maybe someday if I am more at peace (with it), then I will accept it,” Watson said during the meeting.

Among those present were Sibuti MP Ahmad Lai and Primeworks CEO Ahmad Izham Omar.

Earlier, Watson had lodged a police report of the incident, urging the police to take action against those behind the programme.
