Past winners ignored for awards ceremony


Datuk M Rajamani sharing her thoughts during an interview in Brickfields recently.

KUALA LUMPUR: The past winners of National Sportsman and Sportswoman are a forgotten lot and not invited for next Wednesday’s 2017 National Sports Awards ceremony.

Former athletics track queen Datuk M. Rajamani (pic) is among the past national award winners who have been sidelined. The 74-year-old Rajamani was the first winner of the National Sports­woman award in 1965 and again in the following year.
