KUALA LUMPUR: Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin wants the organisers of the Klang City International Marathon 2017 to be investigated by police and charged in court. He also urged participants of the illegal race to sue the organisers and demand a refund. This, he said, is being done to protect participants from enlisting in sporting events which do not have proper permits. She said the upcoming Klang Heritage Marathon 2018, formerly known as the Selangor Marathon 2017, has been cancelled in the wake of the incident. She said the organiser’s application was rejected in order to allow for further security checks on the planned event.
