State Youth, Sports, Entrepreneur Development, Cooperatives and Human Resources Committee chairman Mohd Hairi Mad Shah said greater allocations for youth development and sports in the state will also mean that young people are not marginalised.

"We are waiting.. and I have already mentioned to the Minister of Youth and Sports Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu for allocation for youth and sports in Johor to be increased for next year," he said after officiating the Mersing Fun Run organised by Ikatan Anak Mersing (IAM) at Dataran Mahkota here today.
