NSC director-general Abdul Rashid the ‘last of the Mohicans’ facing new frontiers

ABDUL Rashid Yaakub, the ninth individual to helm the National Sports Council (NSC) as their director-general, is the last of the Mohicans, so to speak.

Besides his immediate predecessor Datuk Ahmad Shapawi Ismail who made an unceremonious exit upon reaching his 60th birthday in September, Rashid is the only survivor left from the batch of officers who joined the agency in the late 80s.
