Hamidin, meanwhile, expressed confidence in the safety of the athletes and officials at the Games, despite media reports of incidents such as theft and sexual assault in the city. 'I am not worried about the athletes as they will stay within the Games Village and only visit the competition venues. Security is tight at the Games Village with thorough checks. 'However, I am slightly concerned about the safety of their family members, friends and other Malaysians here for the Games. I hope they take care of their safety. At present, there have been no issues with our athletes,' he said when met at the Invalides, the venue for the archery events. Source: BERNAMA News Agency
