KUALA LUMPUR: All quarters should respect the decision by two national sports stars, Datuk Lee Chong Wei and Datuk Nicol David should they decide to retire in the near future. Khairy said Nicol, 33, had told him that she would still be in action at least for the next five years while Chong Wei wanted to play for at least another year. If Chong Wei feels that the World Tournament in Glasgow in August this year will be his last, we have to respect his decision," he said. Meanwhile, Khairy urged the three national sepak takraw players who were cleared of suspension by the International Sepak Takraw Federation (ISTAF) recently, to focus on helping the national squad in the Kuala Lumpur SEA Games this August. "I hope that there will be no recurrence of such cases in future which can create problem and (give) negative perception on sepak takraw," he said.
