A national sports associations reform plan will address misconduct or corruption issues to ensure a culture of "clean" sports in Malaysia, said Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman.
He said the reform plan to be tabled by the Sports Commissioner’s Office in the first quarter of this year would also address problems about governance and integrity.
"We want to clean up all sports associations, in terms of misconduct and corruption. Not only the Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) but all associations.
"Some associations escape the scrutiny of the Sports Ministry. As such the sports commissioner must actively look into the governance system of these associations," he told reporters after a luncheon with Malaysia Future Leaders School programme participants yesterday.
He was commenting on the detention of MNCF's top leader by the MACC recently.
Syed Saddiq said he has left it to the MACC to investigate the case.
"We have given our full support to MACC to have the investigation carried out fairly," he said. — Bernama
