Grassroots the way to go


Since its inception in 1991, SportExcel has produced many stars, including the likes of seven-time world champion Nicol David, Ong Beng Hee (both squash), bowler Shalin Zulkifli, golfer Ben Leong and cricketer Arul Suppiah.

ON Thursday night, I had the chance to watch Tunku Tan Sri Imran Tuanku Ja’afar open the cap of the Queen’s baton – again.

It was the same baton used for the Queen’s Baton Relay for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. Then, in August, the whole world had watched how Tunku Imran struggled to open the baton’s cap during the opening ceremony.
