Sports commissioner says role just to encourage development, law not punitive. [Newspaper] (2017)
Abstract
The main role of the Sports Commissioner’s Office is to regulate, not enforce, said Sports Commissioner of Malaysia Datuk Zaiton Othman in the wake of a recent event involving the office.
Zaiton said it has to be kept in mind that the spirit of the Sports Development Act is to encourage sports development in the country, and is not punitive in nature, as stated clearly in the Act.
Referring to the mishap during the Klang City International Marathon on Sunday which left three runners injured, one seriously, Zaiton said it is clearly stated in the Section 36 of the Act that organisations which organise sporting activities need to apply for a licence from the Sports Commissioner’s Office prior to the event.
