He said all must work hard in the effort to maximise sports facilties for the people thus contribute to the Federal
Ministry of Youth and Sports’s vision to make Malaysia a sporting nation.
“As such it will indirectly encourage all Malaysians to be actively involved in sports activities which in turn create a healthy society that is free from chronic diseases.
