KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Taekwondo Association (MTA), who were de-registered on May 6, had been given one month to appeal. But they have failed to appeal to the Youth and Sports Ministry.
Minister Datuk Azalina Othman Said said she had not received any appeal letter from the MTA until yesterday.
She said the Sports Commissioner would make an official announcement soon about the status of the association.
Sports Commissioner Tan Sri Elyas Omar had de-registered the association saying the national body for taekwondo had become a “hindrance” to the development of the sport in the country.
MTA were given 30 days from May 6 to appeal. However, MTA have taken the matter to court and the hearing will be held on July 14.
Meanwhile, Azalina yesterday launched of the Larian Kecergasan-NFC (National Fitness Council)- Bata, which will be held tomorrow (Sunday) at the National Sports Council (NSC) in Bukit Jalil.
The 2.6km run is open to all from the age of seven to 60 and will be divided into 10 categories. The top 15 finishers in each category will receive Bata shoes and T-shirts.
