KUALA LUMPUR – Local sports analyst Mohd Sadek Mustaffa hopes newly-minted Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh will tackle the racial disparity issue that persists within the sports industry.
He explained that many young athletes are isolated to a specific type of sports based on their racial background.
“If we are going to talk about a unity government, the new minister needs to peel the layers of racial disparities within the sports industry,” he told The Vibes.
“For example, youth programmes involving training and skills institutions under the Youth and Sports Ministry are mostly inhabited by the Malays, up to 95%.
“To what extent will the new minister be able to attract other races into these institutions and ensure there is balance in social and economic equality?”
