PUTRAJAYA, Aug 28 (Bernama) -- Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil today announced his withdrawal from the contest for the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) presidency.
Fahmi said the decision was made following the Cabinet's decision today to prohibit Ministers or Deputy Ministers from running for or holding the position of president in any sports association.
“This is based on a Cabinet decision from 2007. So, what we decided today is that we will continue the practice of not being involved (in sports associations), with no exceptions.
“Effective immediately, I am withdrawing from running as a candidate for KLFA president,” he said at the weekly Communications Minister press conference here.
Fahmi added that he had referred the decision to Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president Datuk Hamidin Mohd Amin.
