Olympic obsession


Tunku Imran: ‘No one fails for not winning a gold medal.’

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian media’s obsession with the country’s first gold medal is not right, says former Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) president Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Ja’afar.

The 70-year-old Negri Sembilan prince, who helmed the OCM from 2000 to 2018, is adamant that the national athletes have done well at the Games thus far even with a gold nowhere in sight.
