BANGI: The decision to appoint Norza Zakaria as deputy chairman of the Road to Gold (RTG) programme is aimed at safeguarding the initiative from political instability, said youth and sports minister Hannah Yeoh.
“As I explained in Parliament, this move ensures that the RTG programme remains uninterrupted in the face of political challenges.
“If a ministerial vacancy arises due to political circumstances, the deputy chairman will take the lead and ensure RTG meetings proceed without disruption,” she told reporters at a National Athletes’ Welfare Foundation event here today.
