The Rembau-based minister has been an avid multisport athlete in the last few years and was seen participating in duathlon and triathlon races. He is often spotted on popular cycling routes in Kuala Lumpur and Selangor and even participated in the Kuala Lumpur Standard Chartered Marathon Virtual Run recently.
Perhaps, this is a wake-up call for our Road Works Department to respond to damages on our roads for the greater good of the citizens.
