#SHOWBIZ: Yuna to Jojo Ghazali: Keep on fighting, many are still supporting you
KUALA LUMPUR: Singer Yuna recently offered words of encouragement to Malaysian Muay Thai champion, Johan Ghazali, also known as Jojo, who faced criticism after his recent match loss. The 38-year-old artiste commented on Jojo's Instagram post, urging him to persevere despite the criticism. Yuna added that the negative remarks came from only a small number of detractors, while most of his fans continued to show their support with kind and encouraging comments for the 18-year-old national athlete. "Keep fighting. Believe me, this condemnation is likely from that 10 per cent who have too much time on their hands to criticise people on social media," she wrote. "But there are many others who still have your back. You just have to keep on fighting. Do it for yourself and your family. We remain proud of you." Jojo recently lost to Colombian-American Diego Paez in an exciting bout at ONE Fight Night 32 at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand.

KUNAK: Sabah Football Association (Safa) Kunak President, Dato' Sri Anil Sandhu, announced his resignation effective Sunday after 14 years of service. He said the decision was made after several discussions, including with the district-level football body committee.

He was met at the Kunak Town Field while witnessing the football final organised by Safa Kunak between Mostyn FC and Uncle Chang FC. In the match, Uncle Chang FC from Semporna emerged champions through a penalty shootout after both teams were tied without goals at the end of the match. Anil, who is also Lahad Datu Umno Youth Chief cum Barisan Nasional (BN) Youth Exco, was previously among those mentioned as a potential BN candidate for the Kunak state constituency in the upcoming election. Other than that, he said, it is time for him to give space and opportunity to other individuals to lead Safa Kunak. 'I hope this football association will continue to achieve greater success in the future. Thank you to all parties, agencies, and departments involved either directly or indirectly in supporting each sports development programme, especially football, in this district,' he said. Safa Kunak recorded several achievements under his leadership, including the discovery of several Under-23 and Under-18 young players who were featured in the State Safa squad, as well as national-level tournaments. Anil said he will continue to give strong support to local teams in the district striving to produce young talents in football and other sports development. On the same matter, he said the development of sports facilities should be expedited, with the need for a sports complex in Kunak being a key priority to ensure athletes have proper and comfortable facilities across various sports. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
