New Era, new people - though the 'ura-ura' has been going on for more than 6 months. Hope he'll be able to lead the change and uplift the current condition and situation of our countries sports environment and achievements.
Anyone out there with good plans or proposals can send them to me. Insyaallah, there'll be a way of onforwarding the same to our new Sports Commissioner.
Btw he was never a Parliamentary Secretary but the KSU of Kementerian Belia dan Sukan since 2004. Spent most of his services in JPA with also stints in JHDN and Kementerian Sains dan Alam Sekitar. Slightly media-shy though.
