KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 10 — National rhythmic gymnast and 2019 Gold Sportsperson Award winner, Izzah Amzan,21, urges Malaysian parents to allow their children to engage in sports and not just solely focus on academics.“In my school, Bukit Jalil Sports School, you can never underestimate a student-athlete as they are equally good as the bookworms”
She admitted it was quite challenging for her to maintain a balance between sports and academics as she is still undergoing her tertiary studies. “There’s no one else as supportive as my mum because she’s the reason why I’m still here and she’s the reason why I’m still doing what I’m doing now. She acknowledged her elementary school teachers from SK Taman Universiti for encouraging her to participate in athletics, as she had been performing since primary school.
The presentation of the MOE-MSSM-MILO Sports Awards 2019 launched by Minister of Education, Datuk Dr. Radzi Jidin, which recognises excellence in 13 categories, was postponed for a year due to Covid-19.
