“I hope so. What we need now is to focus on the immediate challenges, which is the economic situation,” said Tengku Zafrul when asked regarding possible potential political meddling. Meanwhile, Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Senator Wan Ahmad Fayhsal Wan Ahmad Kamal said his main focus is to support his minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican.
However, he added that any previous projects or plans initiated by the Muar lawmaker will still have to obtain the approval of the Umno leader before it can continue — including the much-vaunted e-sports initiated by Syed Saddiq.
