Shahidan seeks support to contest OCM presidency

Malaysian Amateur Athletics Union (MAAU) president Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim today asked Olympic Council of Malaysia(OCM) affiliates to support his bid for the OCM presidency in May.
He said he hoped at least 16 of the 48 affiliates in OCM would come forward and state their support for him.
"If many parties want to bring about change in OCM, I am up to the task.
"If I get enough nominations, what''s wrong in my contesting the post?," he told reporters after chairing a meeting of MAAU''S board here today.
The former Perlis menteri besar, however, said he had yet to receive any nominations to date to unseat the incumbent, Tunku Tan Sri Imran Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Jaafar.

tunku : i think shahidan should lobby all out for the post and forget about politics.this is the best for shahidan as in politics,his star is not shinning any more.may he succeed in his new journey.OCM need a new president to rejuvenate and bring more success to the council.lucky for shahidan for not contesting the umno presidency.
