"(For example) the most basic sports hall, or the most important sports complex facility in the country, is the Bukit Jalil National Stadium which used to be more exclusive but is now (widely used) at school level," he said during a guest appearance on RTM's Naratif Khas programme on TV1 on Wednesday (Dec 6).

The broadcast was in conjunction with the "One Year with the Madani Government" programme.
