Politics divide, sport unites

Chong Wei has brought so much joy to Malaysian sport.

NOW that the storm and excitement that GE14 generated is over and things have settled with a new Government in place, the sport fraternity eagerly awaits the appointment of the Youth and Sports Minister.

While politics is part and parcel of any democratic country, sport enjoys an exalted place as it plays a vital role in unifying the masses, be it in cheering shuttler Lee Chong Wei in a world-class event or a Malaysian team in the final of a tough competition.
