COMMENT | The latest spat has re-ignited the debate about politicians and their roles in sports clubs.  

COMMENT | About 15 years ago, former Olympian and retired director of sports in the National Sports Council the late Ho Koh Chye, chaired the organising committee of the ex-internationals golf tournament.

At the final meeting, he said something along these lines: “We are having a royalty playing in the tournament and give away prizes over lunch. Please be in our best behaviour. No beer. No pranks, no jokes.” Palace courtiers, he told the committee, had directed that all golfers be attired in long-sleeved batik shirts for the lunch and that no alcoholic drinks should be served.

That protocol was observed until the man himself entered the hall. Looking bewildered more than surprised, the royal figure remarked to Ho: “Ho politely told the Tuanku about the directive from his aides to which the latter replied: “This is not a palace function. We are here to play golf and enjoy. Don’t worry about the directive. I want all golfers to enjoy themselves.”..Subscribe for only RM200 a year, or sign in if you're already a subscriber.

The MB should work for the people, not playing golf and spending time at golf course!

No backbone. You think the rakyat have no self control, come on Mind as well you ban all the knives. WTF

This is the problem with the Pakatan Harapan supremacist Malays. They want to show to all Malays in Malaysia that they are more supremacist than the Perkasa-Pas-Umno supremacist Malays. And who becomes their victim? The non-Malay.

Please show him the exit door.
