Minister has trait and character to walk the talk

PETALING JAYA: Newly appointed Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh has been inundated with non-stop congratulatory messages on her social media platform and based on her replies – one thing is for sure – she is ready to take the bull by the horns.

On her retweet to former minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman, Hannah thanked him for preparing her to face the youths of this generation.

“Thank you @Syedsaddiq for your kind wishes. Good thing I picked up tiktok from you earlier. Looking forward to pick your brain on growing @Kbsmalaysia from strength to strength,” she said.

Although it will be a new portfolio, Hannah said she was ready to tread on the uncharted waters.

“Thank you @Pejaofperak! With good guidance of everyone who loves youth and sports, I will ‘never be lost’ too,” said Hannah, as a reply to former minister Ahmad Faizal Azumu’s well wishes tweet.

It will take some time to settle down at her office in Putrajaya but she has promised to touch base with the National Sports Council (NSC), the government’s arm that run Podium, back-up and coaching programmes, real soon.
