Please respect the choice of our HEROES & HEROINES. Leave them alone.
Sports is for all and our athletes are our heroes and heroines. Some athletes have personally contacted me on this issue. I’m obligated to defend them as they are the nation’s assets.
This is alarming as the future of sports like gymnastics, diving, swimming, bodybuilding will be affected.
There are countless Muslim athletes who have contributed a lot of medals for the country including Farah Ann Hadi (gymnastics), Nur Dhabitah Sabri (diving) and Sazali Samad (bodybuilder).
These are sports Malaysia does well in with multiple medals being won in Commonwealth, Olympic, Asean and SEA games by these athletes.
Our very own HERO, Azizul Hasni Awang, a well-known world champion HERO cyclist hailing from Terengganu also achieved international recognition, regardless of his choice of outfit. I will stand with all of them regardless of their outfits. I am here because of them. Please leave them alone!
