Youth and Sports Ministry takes responsibility for communication breakdown over Azizulhasni’s LA28 plans

The Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) has acknowledged a communication breakdown that led to controversy surrounding national track cycling ace Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang's plans to pursue qualification for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics (LA28). The ministry's minister, Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari, stated that KBS would ensure such communication issues do not recur in the future, emphasizing the importance of good communication between the ministry, the athlete, and the National Sports Council (MSN).

The decision to allow Azizulhasni to continue his LA28 mission was reportedly agreed upon at an MSN Board meeting on August 13, after which the ministry issued an offer letter to the athlete. Azizulhasni has since accepted the offer and agreed to serve the national team in the bid to achieve success at LA28. The next steps involve discussions between Azizulhasni, the association, MSN, and the National Sports Institute (ISN) to determine the assistance and support required for preparations towards LA28.
