KUALA LUMPUR – Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh has often been on the ground, from officiating events to engaging youth and athletes, and even checking out the facilities of less popular sports – so much so that some have said “Hannah is everywhere!”.
When asked to respond to comments on her active engagement, the Segambut MP said going to the ground was the only way she could gain a better understanding of the real situation and address issues relating to less popular sports.
“Sports like football are quite popular, but the women’s team hardly gets attention. So I have to go see them to understand the situation,” she said.
Although she was able to find joy in her responsibilities, Hannah admitted that it was also tiring.
“I’m not getting enough sleep, that’s for sure. But when efforts are taken by sports associations or relevant quarters that have played their parts, how would I not try my best to help?
“I wish I could clone myself to be at as many places as possible, but I can’t. I also have a duty to attend Parliament sittings.
“So I apologise to the many organisers who invited me if I could not attend all the events due to time constraints,” she added. – Bernama, March 10, 2023
