Khairy also thanked Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek for his initiative in establishing the ‘Road to Rio’ programme when he was the Youth and Sports minister four years ago.

I want to pay tribute to @shaberyc for starting the Road to Rio programme 4 years ago leading to our success. Laid the foundation well. /p>— Khairy Jamaluddin (@Khairykj) August 20, 2016
