New Face for Malaysian Athletics

Shahidan Kassim and Karim has been voted out and Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad (NS Athletics President) was elected as President and  Terengganu AA president Datuk Wan Hisyam Wan Salleh was elected the new deputy president.

K. Yogasveran of Selangor, who pulled out of the race for the deputy presidency on Saturday, received the most number of votes (32).
Datuk Paiman Abdul Karim of Sabah was next with 28 followed by incumbents Datuk R. Annamalai of Pahang (25) and Datuk Paduka Mumtaz Jaafar of Negri Sembilan (24), who filled the slot reserved for women.

Hope, the new team could revive the country's athletics image and being reckoned as powerhouse again in the region.
