00:00The Ministry of Finance announced that it will allocate more than RM10 million to the Ministry of Finance

00:06for the purpose of strengthening the development of international athletes under the Podium Programme.

00:11According to the Minister of Finance, the allocation is needed

00:14by taking into account the importance of increasing the number of international athletes' training programmes.

00:20My conversations with Paralympic athletes,

00:25many of them, when they go to a platform like that,

00:29they feel nervous, they feel that they need more training.

00:33If there is no training, it means that the budget must be bigger.

00:36So yesterday I attended with the KBS, the highest level of the Ministry of Finance,

00:40to discuss about the budget for next year.

00:44And we have asked for a bigger budget, especially for Paralympic athletes.

00:49And we have Dato' Subra, a representative of the Malaysian Paralympic Association,

00:54who works closely with the MSN Board.

00:57And we will continue to prioritize.

01:01According to Hena, the allocation of RM10 million for Paralympic athletes is not insufficient,

01:06but requires additional efforts to strengthen it.

01:09At the start of the 2024 budget, the government allocated RM40 million for the entire Podium Programme

01:15and RM10 million was allocated for Paralympic athletes.

01:18I would like to ask the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of State

01:21to provide more Paralympic programs throughout the country, starting next year.
