The squash events which were supposed to start at 9am today were postponed following the accidents involving buses carrying athletes from Thailand, Myanmar and the Philippines.
According to the tournament manager P. Sivanesen, they were still waiting for the medical report from the National Sports Institute (NSI) medical team on the athletes' condition.
He noted that the Myanmar team had yet to update on their well being as they were still undergoing the medical check up at the NSI in Kuala Lumpur Sports City, Bukit Jalil.
"We can only consider to postpone the competition at least for one day if the medical team gives the confirmation that the athletes involved can play after a day of rest.
"We hope that all of the players can continue to play because we don't want to deny their chances because they have come here to compete in this biennal Games.
"We have received clearance from some of the team managers (their players can continue playing) but we have to wait for all of them, so we can start the competition this evening, if necessary," he told reporters when met at the National Squash Centre here.
Sivanesen said that a meeting would be held immediately after they received the medical report to decide on the competition schedules.
Meanwhile, Thailand women's squash player Panisa Suwanarat when approached by reporters said that their team suffered only minor injuries.
"For our team, it was not bad. She (Suvipa Kitvijarn) got hit on her ears, her head hits against the window. So she got a little bit of dizziness. The rest of our team got neck sprain. And I got a little cut up here," she said.
However, she noted that their team was able to compete in the event.
Filipino Robert Andre Gracia said he was worried about the Myanmar players who might suffer serious injuries due to the accidents.
"All of my team are okay but I am worried about the Myanmar players because they were injured the most," he added.
