Looks like Pak Lah has been quietly following the development of sports in our beloved Malaysia. [here]
Cabinet made the decision to bar the ministers, deputies and respectcive parliament secretary from holiding any management of executive posts in the countries' sports associations. Great decision as politicians are seen to meddle too much in the sports agenda and the evaluations and assessment by the sports council often met with stumbling blocks due to the influence exerted by the ministers holding top posts.
However, another "leading-by-example" case is the recent move of our DYMM Yang Di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Mizan to step down as the chairman of KL World Endurance Cup. Maybe that should serve as an example to other state rulers who still HOLD ON to the posts in the sports association so PASSIONATELY until the recent mediocre performances and other problems with the sports doesn't seem to bother Him at all. I just wonder if Cabinet made the decisions for the ministers, maybe the Majlis Raja-Raja should make the same decision to the state rulers.
The most important thing is, let the experts do their job.

Just let the profesional do their job. Minister or politicians can do the job only if the knowledgeable in the sport feild, not simply because they want a good name for themselves.
hm... would be interesting to see some of the politicians playing some sports that they were heading its association.....
