KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 28 — Cabinet has decided ministers and deputy ministers cannot contest for posts in sports associations, Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad said.
He said he will withdraw his candidacy as Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) president.
“I will continue being committed to supporting KLFA in developing a healthy football ecosystem and also support KL City FC as a professional football club,” he posted on X.
Nik Nazmi said he will continue as patron of the Setiawangsa Rangers football club, a KLFA-affiliated club, which he founded in 2018.
It was reported last week that Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil was running against Nik Nazmi for the KLFA top post.
