Industri sukan terus diabaikan. Sejak PKP 3.0 dilaksanakan, rakyat Malaysia yang mengusahakan padang, gelanggang, pusat sukan dan gimnasium terus diabaikan. Pendek kata, tutup kedai. Sukan bukan saja tertumpu kepada atlet profesional. Ia melibatkan juga para pekerja pusat sukan, jurulatih, instructor gimnasium, jurugambar dan ramai lagi. Sejak Total Lockdown dilaksanakan, jumlah kes positif yang disumbangkan sebahagian besar adalah daripada kluster tempat kerja. Hanya beberapa peratus saja melibatkan kluster komuniti apatah lagi kluster yang melibatkan sukan. Negara jiran, Thailand sekarang menjadi tuan rumah #ACL2021 dan sedang berlangsung dengan jayanya menggunakan model sports bubble. Malah, kita ada wakil negara yang bermain di sana. Kita pernah membuka sektor...

COLOURFUL charts. Clear instructions. And all the proper dos and don’ts. Countless standard operating procedures (SOPs) for sports have been released over the last one year to combat the Covid-19 pandemic. The Youth and Sports Ministry and National Sports Council (NSC) have kept themselves busy disseminating the information to the sports community and public. But as most of us were looking to inject life back into sports, some have been quietly doing million ringgit deals. How many know that the sports ministry have approved RM10mil for construction of a sports complex in Jeli, Kelantan, in preparation for the 2026 Malaysia Games (Sukma) this...
