Who next to lead the 52-year-old NSC?

IT is not too late for me to wish a happy birthday to the National Sports Council (NSC) on turning 52 on Tuesday. Established under the NSC Act 1971 and tasked with coordinating, monitoring and protecting the government’s interests in elite or high-performance sports, the NSC are undeniably the prime mover of Malaysian sports today.

We have to thank our founding fathers for turning the idea of a special committee to manage our sports affairs in the 1960s into reality at a time when sports were driven by volunteers.
