Still waiting for Malaysian sports heroes

NELSON Mandela’s famous quote still rings loudly – “Sport has the power to change the world … it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does.”

The recently concluded World Cup and Commonwealth Games stand true to this.

Every four years, the whole world comes to a standstill during the one month of World Cup action, in awe of top football teams from all corners of the world.
