S'wak Deputy Minister backs Fazzrudin for FAS presidency
Rentap expressee his hope that Fazzrudin will secure the presidency at the upcoming FAS Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 14. KUCHING (May 29): Chief Political Secretary to the Premier of Sarawak, Dato Fazzrudin Abdul Rahman is the right person to lead the Football Association of Sarawak (FAS), said State Deputy Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development, Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu. He expressed his hope that the Kuching City Football Club chairman will secure the presidency at the upcoming FAS Annual General Meeting scheduled for June 14. 'I hope Fazzrudin will be able to lead FAS because we can see that football is a sport that can really lift our spirits wherever we are, be it in the villages or towns and anywhere else. 'I think he is the right choice to be the next FAS president. He had served as assistant chef de mission for football in Sukma just like what I did in Sukma Terengganu. 'Furthermore, he has the experience as Kuching City Football Club chairman and is familiar with FAS key strengths for the role,' Rentap told reporters after the press conference on the ASF Asian Individual Championships and ASF Asian Doubles Championships at a hotel here today. He added that Fazzrudin, who is also the Tupong assemblyman, is actively involved with youth development and athletics, serving as patron of the Axis Club. Rentap, who is Layar assemblyman, further emphasised the importance of nurturing football talent at the grassroots level. 'The Petronas Youth Football Closed Tournament is a collaborative programme that has helped develop young talents in the Under-10, Under-12 and Under-16 age categories and is a step in the right direction. 'We are hoping that it can develop into a football league for Sarawak but we are focusing on developing the young players. 'If we don't have young players how are we going to find senior players later?' he said. FAS fazzrudin abdul rahman Gerald Rentap Jabu presidency
