Growing Ports Sports

On this episode of ABOC, Kam Raslan speaks to General Manager of Malaysia Football League, Dez Corkhill and former BFM-er, Azura Rahman. Kam kicks off the show with Liverpool, besides being the current EPL champion, it is also a culture import city. It was once Britain’s biggest port city and is now a melting pot of culture. Dez continues with the politicisation of sports. He expresses that sports should be kept raw, genuine and without any interference. Azura closes off with ‘post traumatic growth’ where the pandemic can inspire personal growth, but it is the opposite in her case. She shares her personal quarantine conundrum.
