Muszaphar Ready To Join Politics

PEKAN, Feb 26 (Bernama) -- Malaysian astronaut Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor said today he was ready to enter politics when the time was right.

"I may join politics when the time is right. Right now, my focus is on the national astronaut programme," he told reporters after giving a motivational talk at a community gathering organised by DRB Hicom here today.

Present were Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and his wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor.

About 500 students from the Pekan district took part in the programme.

Dr Sheikh Muszaphar said he had been travelling throughout the country to share his space experience and motivate students to take an interest in science and space.
