Para athletes disprove Hannah’s “political instability” bombast FMTNews
The rousing performances of Malaysia’s athletes at the recent Asean Para Games have sent the “political instability” rhetoric of youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh into a tailspin.
The national contingent proved that the slogan Demi Malaysia came from their hearts, and foiled another tortured variation of the “political instability” theme. Did Malaysia have great sporting achievements in the Olympics, Asiad and SEA Games when there was political stability? It has taken athletes with disabilities to tell the authorities that excellence in sports is all about the will of the athlete, the resolve of the association, and the drive of the coach.
In February, Malaysian discus thrower Irfan Shamsuddin recorded his season’s best of 59.71m at the Malaysian Athletics Federation track and field meeting.
