01 Oct NATIONAL COURT NAMED AFTER NICOL

The main court at the National Squash Centre in Bukit Jalil will be named the Datuk Nicol David Court, said Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ahmad Shabery Cheek.

He said this was the government’s recognition for the excellent performance by the national squash queen in winning the World Open Championship for the fourth time in Amsterdam, last week.

He said the Cabinet yesterday accepted the ministry’s proposal that the main court at the National Squash Centre be named after the national athlete who had brought glory to the country at the international level.

“The ministry believes that the move will provide inspiration and encouragement to other national athletes to continue to bring glory to Malaysia in the international arena,” he said in a statement- Bernama
