KUALA LUMPUR: Sporting organisations and the private sector should assist the Government in fighting the negative perceptions certain countries have about Malaysia, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein. 

“Organisations like the Olympic Council of Malaysia have good connections with their foreign counterparts and should be proactive in promoting the country and telling them that Malaysia is safe,” he said after opening Universal Fitness and Leisure Sdn Bhd’s new building, Wisma UFL, in Taman Perindustrian Kepong near here yesterday.
