00:20until June 30th next year.
00:23It came with a change of name from Malaysia Athletics Federation to Malaysia Athletics
00:28on January 15th this year.
00:31Some affiliates are furious that there might be no elections for office-bearers at MA's
00:35annual general meeting on June 30th.
00:38They wonder whether the leadership fear is being challenged.
00:42Shahidan took office in 2022 for a three-year term.
00:46He previously served as President of the National Body from 2006 to 2012.
