KUALA TERENGGANU Nov. 27 - Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Abdul Rahman should not be upset by implementing the application of syariah-compliant because it is only limited to Muslim athletes representing the state.
State Youth, Sports and Non-Government Development Committee chairman Wan Sukairi Wan Abdullah said that such apparel contests proved to have undermined the athlete's performance, but they also generally did not mind to comply.
He said the move announced yesterday would begin with football players at all levels under the Terengganu State Football Association (PBSNT), also received positive immediate reactions from hockey and rugby teams.
Wan Sukairi was asked to comment on Syed Saddiq's statement that the state government would not disturb the athletes by respecting their sporting apparel choice, and the minister assured them to defend them.
Syed Saddiq via Facebook reportedly said defining the clothes that athletes should wear is a cause for concern because the future of sports such as gymnastics, swimming, and bodybuilding will be affected.
Wan Sukairi in the state assembly yesterday said the state government's policy of putting Islam as the main administrative pillar would try to cover all aspects, including sports.
