The Paralympic Council of Malaysia has expressed its scepticism regarding the government’s commitment to developing para-athletes, as it believes that the allocated budget of RM12 million for 2024 is insufficient.
The Malaysian Paralympic Council has urged the Badminton Association of Malaysia to "wake up" and seriously look into the development of para-badminton players for the council.
The council’s response comes after the government announced an allocation of RM12 million to the National Sports Council for training and development programmes aimed at supporting Malaysia’s para-athletes in international sporting events.
