Stumped Over Missing Key Content From Ocm Website

---

It is still a mystery to me why and how the previous Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) website that contained valuable content suddenly, without any warning, disappeared around 2014 or 2015
As the content provider, I was shocked and totally devastated by what happened
Most of the information is still missing
I have not even been able to retrieve the few articles I had written
The OCM had its website in the early 1990s, with information on Malaysian Olympians, Commonwealth Games and Asian Games athletes
There was no information of SEA Games athletes because there were too many, but plans were there to include them later
We also had Malaysia’s medal haul in all the multi-sports games, names of chefs de mission, history of OCM, articles on the country’s performance at the SEA Games, as well as important news items involving OCM
It was regularly updated and was appreciated by local and foreign media as a reliable and up-to-date source of information
I was responsible for updating the website as well as publishing the OCM weekly highlights
While an attractive website is an asset, more important is the content, records and information that are useful to the media and researchers
Presently, except for a few sportswriters, I can’t see anyone with sufficient depth and knowledge to provide useful content
I hope the OCM website will not be in a situation of “garbage in garbage out”
I am still wondering whether some of my colleagues tried to sabotage me
Frankly if true, it was unnecessary as I am no threat to anyone, being a powerless old volunteer
