Let make a comparison of our successful sportsmen and sportswomen who have achieved international fame.

Our World No 1 squash player Nicol David - how much has her sport association spent to support her training overseas (in the Netherlands)?

Our world-renowned Josiah Ng - can the cycling association please speak up on the cost of the foreign training they have given him?

Our Malaysian top bowler Shalin Zulkifli and her friends who won international fame - weren't they trained locally by an American coach?

Our badminton players who have become world beaters - didn't they, too, train in Malaysia?

Let us do some simple mathematics. Does the total amount spent on training all these athletes even come up tp RM100 million? And mind you, there wasn't a 'super sport complex' to help them to achieve their success.

As often said, the Malaysian government believes in building structures but if there is no commitment, the money spent on grand buildings will not produce world-class athletes.
