Getting ready for Kuala Lumpur 2017


I HAD a deja vu moment on Tuesday when I watched our SEA Games squash players being put through their paces at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil.

It brought me back to 1998, when I first visited our national sports stadium, just before the Commonwealth Games. Our new national stadium had just been built, the pride of the country, and our group of journalists was taken on a tour of the facilities before the games started.
