COMMENT | It’s fantastic that Hannah Yeoh has been chosen as the minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Federal Territories), a post where she can make real, visible reforms.

This is a welcome change from her previous thankless task, hemmed in by various sports associations rife with old politics.

For example, in the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) scandal of foreign players made into instant citizens, it was too “sensitive” to use her ministerial powers, given that a VVIP was involved.

Kuala Lumpur is a national platform for Yeoh to shine, and that’s probably why racial missiles are already flying fast and furious against her.

These attacks are no better than the racists...
