SHAH ALAM, Jan 21 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) has ample candidates to fill the vacancy of chief executive officer (CEO) of the National Sports Institute (NSI) to replace Ahmad Faedzal Md Ramli who will end his service on Feb 24.
Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh said that currently her department has received more than 19 applications for the position from government servants and the private sector.
“We have advertised for the NSI CEO position and received many applications. I have also held a town hall session with NSI top management to hear their views.
“We will follow the interview process which will be conducted by KBS secretary-general (Datuk Dr K. Nagulendran). We want to ensure that there is continuity of services (NSI supports athletes with sports medicine and treatment) provided so that all our athletes’ preparations for various games will not be disrupted,” she said.
She said this after a handover of cars by Chery Malaysia to the medal winners of the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games who received a generous discount offer from the car manufacturer here today.
Earlier, Ahmad Faedzal who began his service as CEO of NSI on Feb 25, 2019, said he would not extend his tenure which was subject to the discretion of the Public Service Department (JPA).
Meanwhile, Hannah thanked Chery Malaysia for the contribution to Malaysian paralympians.
Among the national para athletes who received the offer were the gold medallists of the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games, Cheah Liek Hou and Bonnie Bunyau Gustin as well as the para shot put athlete Ziyad Zolkefli who managed to win a silver medal.
“I thank Chery for helping me own my first electric car. This discount reduces my financial burden.
“I plan to use this car as a daily vehicle to attend training sessions and so on,” said Liek Hou.
Meanwhile, Ziyad also expressed his gratitude and thanks to Chery Malaysia for the big discount to buy his dream car.
“When I knew I could get this discount, I responded to this call. I chose the Sportage car and will use it daily,” he said.
