Taufiq says better coordination needed as cycling ace seeks Olympic qualification.
PUTRAJAYA: Youth and Sports Minister Dr Taufiq Johari has admitted responsibility for the delay in processing Azizulhasni Awang's offer letter for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. According to Dr Taufiq, the decision to allow Azizulhasni to continue competing was made on August 13, yet the offer letter was only issued on August 30.
Dr Taufiq blamed a communication breakdown between the National Sports Council (NSC) and the National Sports Institute (NSI) for the delay. Despite the issue, Azizulhasni has expressed acceptance and gratitude for the ministry's and NSC's support.
