In a statement today, Najwan said these appointments are part of a strategic move to reorganise and restructure MSNS, aiming to boost sports development across the state.
“MSNS has appointed new board members in line with its current restructuring and reorganisation plan, based on MSNS’ vision and direction.
“The new board members are individuals with experience and direct involvement in the field of sports and youth development,’’ he said.
Other new appointments include Selangor Youth Council president Datuk Mohd Imran Tamrin, Universiti Teknologi Mara’s (UiTM) Faculty of Sports Science and Recreation dean Assoc Prof Raja Mohammed Firhad Raja Azidin, and Subang Jaya City councillor Pravin Murali.
