Pointing out that it was a long-standing issue, its president Rachel Lau said the federation has made a clear stance on the matter, describing it as “the state governance affairs”. The 32-year-old former gymnast was commenting on the statement by Terengganu Youth, Sports and Non-Governmental Organisation Development Committee chairman Wan Sukairi Wan Abdullah on the state government’s decision to withdraw from participating in women’s gymnastics events, which he claimed were exploiting and exhibiting indecent acts.
Lau, however, said the federation encourages gymnasts from Terengganu who are interested to practise the sport to come down to the capital city to continue their participation in tournaments.
