KUALA LUMPUR - Cabinet has decided that ministers and deputy ministers cannot contest for posts in sports associations, Natural Resources and Environmental Sustainability Minister Nik Nazmi Nik Ahmad announced.

As such, he said he would withdraw from contesting for the Kuala Lumpur Football Association (KLFA) presidency.
