Mekanisme kawalan cukup imbang kuasa batal badan sukan, kata menteri
Dr Taufiq Johari berkata, proses batal pendaftaran badan sukan ambil masa lama, menteri perlu dapatkan nasihat pesuruhjaya sukan.
Dr Taufiq Johari, the Malaysian Sports Development Minister, sought to allay concerns over the significant power bestowed upon him to suspend the registration of a sports organization under the 2026 Sports Development (Amendment) Act (SDA). Dr Taufiq explained that the legislation includes adequate control mechanisms to prevent unilateral use of this power, which involves obtaining sports expert advice and prolonging the process.
Under the SDA, if a sports organization is deemed to be undermining national security, public order, or moral values, the minister can declare its registration invalid and terminate it. If these conditions are not met, the minister must follow a lengthy procedure to carry out the suspension, he said during a discussion on the SDA in the House of Representatives.
Furthermore, the suspension can be challenged in court, and the sports organization will be granted a 30-day notice to submit explanations.
