Nurhayati Karim’s defeat comes after years of upheaval within the state body. (Bernama pic)KUALA LUMPUR: Nurhayati Karim has lost the Selangor Athletics Association (SAA) presidency, falling 15-9 to challenger Ganesh Marathamutu at its annual general meeting today.
Ganesh is the son of SM Muthu, the former SAA president who was ousted in 2021. Their family connection adds another chapter to the state body's long-running leadership troubles.
Nurhayati's team lost almost every contest, with former DAP leader Ong Kian Ming the sole exception. Ong won the deputy presidency unopposed.
Andre Subbas won vice-president (1), while Arunasalam Mookan Pillai took vice-president (2). Yagnish Nadarajah was elected secretary and Manimaran Sukumaran treasurer.
