Massive task awaits Jefri as first NSC DG born after act was established

JEFRI Ngadirin, the 10th individual to helm the National Sports Council (NSC) as their director-general commencing April 4, represents a new breed of sports officials coming through the ranks within the agency.

In fact, Jefri is the first director-general born after the NSC Act was tabled by the then Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports, Tan Sri Hamzah Abu Samah and formulated in April 1971, with the royal assent decreed on April 27 and the Act coming into effect three days later.
