End of ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’?: Khairy says Sports Toto was major donor to NSC when he was ministerKUALA LUMPUR, Aug 2 — Gaming operator Sports Toto Malaysia Sdn Bhd’s donations were a portion of the National Sports Council’s allocations when Khairy Jamaluddin was the youth and sports minister.podcast with fellow ex-Umno member Shahril Hamdan, Khairy disclosed this while discussing the controversy behind an alcohol firm’s sponsorship to a vernacular school’s fundraising event.
However, Khairy said it was a fact the government took the funds to promote health and sports, including for students. Earlier, Khairy said the guidelines for fundraising in school have existed unchanged since previous Barisan Nasional administrations, but conceded that there was some confusion over the prohibition.
“Still, the question is whether the government should clarify this ‘don’t ask, don’t tell’ approach to funding.”
