KUALA LUMPUR (April 5): Facing some criticism about her performance as the youth and sports minister, Hannah Yeoh said she’s laid the groundwork to develop sports that one day could placate a nation hungry for international success.

Yeoh, the Segambut MP who once admitted that overseeing sports development is something outside her comfort zone, took some of the blame for Malaysia’s poor medal tally at last year’s Southeast Asian (SEA) Games and Asian Games.
