'Tunku Mahkota Ismail decreed that Johor should be a Sports Nation by 2030, it is quite a huge task for me and my team to place Johor, and Malaysia in general, on the world stage. 'Johor must become a state that provides the best in terms of facilities, infrastructure, athlete development and academics, thus attracting investors,' he said.
