Melaka United ordered to pay nearly RM700,000 after player killed by lightning

Published on: Thursday, June 19, 2025 Published on: Thu, Jun 19, 2025 By: FMT Reporters Text Size: The Melaka High Court awarded AU$192,000 (RM528,000) for loss of dependency, RM120,000 for failure to insure the player, and RM50,000 in legal costs. (Facebook pic) PETALING JAYA: The High Court in Melaka has ordered the Melaka United Soccer Association (Musa) to pay nearly RM700,000 following the death of an 18-year-old Australian player who was struck by lightning nine years ago. Stefan Petrovski, an 18-year-old goalkeeper with Melaka United, was hit by lightning while training at the Hang Jebat Stadium on April 3, 2016. He died nearly a month later, on May 1, from brain damage caused by a lack of oxygen. Advertisement His father, Marco Petrovski, sued Musa and 15 of its officials for negligence and failing to provide a safe environment for his son. The family claimed that no automated external defibrillators (AED) were available during training, no doctor was present at the session, and training was not stopped despite rain increasing the risk of lightning. They also said Musa failed to take out a personal accident insurance policy as required by the player's contract. Justice Radzi Abdul Hamid ruled that Musa was negligent and had a duty of care to protect Petrovski as a professional player. The court awarded AU$192,000 (RM528,000) for loss of dependency, RM120,000 for failure to insure the player, and RM50,000 in legal costs. The judge rejected Musa's defence that a panel doctor did not have to be present at training sessions, stating that Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) rules required at least one doctor to be available during both matches and training. 'The defendants contended that under FAM regulations, a doctor does not need to be at the training session,' said Radzi. 'This court disagreed with the defendants' contention… It makes no sense to appoint the doctor who is absent and must be called to the location in the event of a medical emergency. 'The defendants also failed to adequately train their staff to use AED, as well as to respond to cardiac related emergencies, which contributed to Petrovski's death.' The court also ruled that the association had breached their contractual obligations with Petrovski after it failed to insure him. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Hooked on fishing: Fishing frenzy hits coast

The coastline has delivered a surge of wild fishing action after the arrival of the sardines two weeks ago. Anglers are busy, both in the day and at night, with reports of sharks to offshore giants including giant trevally (GT), salmon, garrick, cuta and shad on the bite from Umkomaas to Port Edward. The Sardine Run has forced the KZN Sharks Board to remove the shark nets along the coast. Well done to Musa Msani who caught a giant GT at Umzumbe flats last week. Musa used live shad bait and it took about 35 minutes to land his prize catch. Camryn Naidoo of Umkomaas also landed a good size GT at 'The Block' in Port Shepstone on Monday this week. He used a Shimano Stradic 14000 with 40lb braid and 4/0 back-to-back land it hooks, and used an Assassin Bluefish rod. Also, Camryn has his own YouTube channel – Unfiltered. Catch up on his and his team's adventures and learn all the tips and techniques. It's exciting times, but remember safety first. Swimming remains banned from Port Edward to Isipingo until further notice. Tide times: Saturday, June 14: High 05:16; Low 11:29; High 17:46; Low 23:52; best fishing 16:12 to 17:14. Sunday, June 15: High 05:54; Low 12:06; High 18:26; Low 00:35; best fishing 16:52 to 17:54. Monday, June 16: High 06:35; Low 12:48; High 19:12; Low 01:24; best fishing 17:38 to 18:40.
