00:00We're all humans here. There's no saying that we're different.
00:02The only difference is that maybe we're born with something that's not there.
00:06Because I believe in my organisation.
00:08I believe in my 23 Parasports National Association.
00:11I believe in all my athletes.
00:13I can't be that transparent.
00:14Yes, you can.
00:16Yes, you can.
00:18One word you would use to describe yourself.
00:20Very flammable.
00:21Oh, yeah?
00:22Yeah, I think it's hot stuff, I guess.
00:25Asap to makanan jin, right?
00:26I'm makanan, I'm jealousy and hatred.
00:28The more I get it, the more I fire.
00:30The fuel.
00:31The fuel.
00:32Walk the talk.
00:32We don't want it just for the show.
00:34We just don't want it just a slogan.
00:36It's to cover up everything but the actual fact on the ground.
00:38Nothing is going on.
00:46Welcome back to another episode of Life Confessions.
00:49Of course, we appreciate all of our guests who join us.
00:52And today, another fantastic guest who is
00:54the President of the Paralympic Council of Malaysia,
00:59Datuk Sri Magad D. Shariman Zaharuddin.
01:02Thank you for joining us, sir.
01:04Oh, it's my pleasure, Terry.
01:05Thanks for having me here.
01:06You are a busy man, Datuk Sri.
01:08You are a busy man.
01:09We appreciate the time that you can share with us here today.
01:12You know, let's start from the beginning.
01:14What first drew you to Parasports
01:16and what made you stay and lead?
01:19I think every interview I like to keep it short and simple
01:22and not very plain.
01:24So I think the reason being that
01:25why I want to be in Paralympic is
01:27first of all is I have a special child myself as a parent.
01:31And also I do know that most of the community
01:33that for them that the second chance
01:36and for their children is basically to be in sport.
01:38So then when I saw the involvement of those parents
01:41as well as those children,
01:43and I think there's a lot of disparity
01:44in terms of chances, awareness, things like that.
01:47So I think that's why I thought myself
01:48that maybe I took up this challenge
01:49to make it a game changer.
01:53Or, you know, not a game changer.
01:54Try to contribute something that's better.
01:56So I think that I believe that
01:57because my relationship with the government
01:58is so well and also with the corporate world is well.
02:01So I thought of that.
02:02Maybe let's try and do something about it
02:05and let's lift up the whole Elevate Paralympic,
02:08Elevate the people with disability sports in the country.
02:11Right. It's a very personal decision as well.
02:14Yeah, it's a decision.
02:14Right. What parts of this journey
02:16have tested you the most, Datuk Sri?
02:19Like, not just as a leader, but as a person?
02:22I think basically it's stigma
02:24is about the perception of the public
02:26is also the awareness and also the empathy.
02:29And also I think the mindset of Malaysians
02:31is one thing I'm not trying to be,
02:32you know, I'm being honest.
02:33At the same time,
02:34I think the public needs to change their perception.
02:37The public needs to know that,
02:38you know, in schools that we need to nurture
02:40in terms of inclusivity.
02:41Yeah.
02:41So I think that is most part of it.
02:44And I, when, you know,
02:45I can be frank here that if people talk less
02:48or bad about people with disability,
02:50I get really, really offended.
02:52And I think that, you know,
02:54if I could do something about it,
02:56then I think that Malaysians are people with tradition.
02:59We have multicultural.
03:00We have, we are so good,
03:02also embedded with society
03:04that are saying that our culture,
03:05teachers, you know,
03:06the Malaysians, the Malay culture,
03:07the Chinese culture,
03:08the Iban, the Indian culture,
03:09things like that.
03:10So I think even though that we have all that,
03:12still we have a different stigma,
03:15the disparity.
03:16A blind spot.
03:16A blind spot.
03:17I just don't understand.
03:19Maybe they just speak about,
03:20I mean, they just,
03:22doesn't walk the talk.
03:23They're just part of posting
03:25over inclusivity where,
03:28things like that.
03:28So actually it's not in their heart.
03:30So I think that the most challenge is that,
03:33yeah, changing people,
03:35giving them to know, you know.
03:36Right.
03:37Do you find that being in the position
03:41that you're at and also being a father,
03:44do you find that people sometimes come up to you
03:47and play at your heartstrings
03:50to get what they want?
03:52True.
03:52And I, one thing about me is that,
03:55you know, I expected that to happen,
03:56you know.
03:57So I think it's common
03:59and it's not,
04:00I mean, if I were in that position,
04:01I would do,
04:02and I would do the same thing as well.
04:03But then to me,
04:04I think everything is,
04:06as an open heart,
04:07you know,
04:07it's, you know,
04:08it comes,
04:09it's not,
04:09it's not,
04:10I don't say this,
04:11it comes with the job,
04:11but it's just that,
04:13that you have to embrace it.
04:14You've got to,
04:14you know,
04:15being a big heart.
04:17Oh, Melayu kata,
04:18in Malayu,
04:18they would say,
04:19besar hati,
04:20besar jiwa,
04:20jiwa besar.
04:21So these are the things
04:22that I look at it
04:22and I think that's fine
04:23and it does,
04:25you know,
04:25help me and I get the support
04:27of the community
04:28and it's,
04:30and to me,
04:31come,
04:31you know,
04:31no problem,
04:32you know,
04:32just come to me.
04:33No, it's true.
04:34I'll help as best as I can.
04:35You know,
04:36not Superman,
04:37not, you know,
04:40Santa Claus,
04:40but I'll do my best,
04:42inshallah, yeah.
04:43And you know,
04:43you've led the Paralympic Council
04:45of Malaysia
04:46and other organisations
04:47across sports
04:48and philanthropy as well.
04:50How,
04:50how have those experiences
04:51shaped your leadership values
04:53and approach
04:54to what you do today?
04:55I think most of all
04:57is service and trust,
04:58but then I believe
05:00these two core,
05:01core thing that is,
05:03it's shaping the whole leadership.
05:04I mean,
05:05I, again,
05:06I'm still learning with,
05:07from all my peers,
05:08I'm still learning from everyone.
05:10The most important is that
05:11to earn the trust
05:12and also to ensure
05:13that you deliver the promise
05:14that you could do.
05:15And sometimes out of 10 promises
05:17that you do,
05:17you can maybe deliver
05:18seven or six,
05:20but then you still work
05:21on the four that
05:22you can't do it,
05:23but then you approach back
05:24to the,
05:25to the people
05:25or to the society
05:27or the,
05:27you know,
05:28the counterpart
05:28that you have promised to.
05:30So I think more or less
05:31is,
05:31and I don't want to go,
05:32I don't use bombastic words.
05:34It's just about your heart.
05:36You know,
05:36deliver it from your heart,
05:37tell it from your heart,
05:39tell the truth,
05:40be honest.
05:41That's it.
05:41Have you always been a person
05:43that stood up like this
05:44or was it something
05:45that you learned
05:45to,
05:46to be this person
05:47that you are now?
05:48I,
05:49yes,
05:49I would say,
05:50Terry,
05:50that's correct.
05:51Since,
05:51since I was small,
05:52I'm not a debater
05:53thing like that.
05:54I don't,
05:54you know,
05:54I don't know why
05:55politicians say they have,
05:56I mean,
05:56I quote politicians
05:58and say,
05:58oh,
05:58they are from debating school.
05:59You don't have to be a debater
06:01to do this.
06:02It's about yourself.
06:03Since back in school,
06:03I've been trying,
06:05I am an extrovert person.
06:07I like to volunteer.
06:08I like to do different.
06:10I like to be different.
06:10So I think that,
06:11that has developed me
06:12over the years
06:12from back from school
06:13to college
06:14to even work
06:15or even international level
06:16that,
06:16you know,
06:17it's about,
06:18you know,
06:19doing good,
06:20giving it more
06:21than you can.
06:21And you have to give it
06:22more to public.
06:23So I think that,
06:24that holds me.
06:25And the other thing
06:25is that I would say,
06:27I'm thankful to my parents.
06:28I think,
06:29without them,
06:30then,
06:31you know,
06:31I wouldn't be,
06:31where am I today?
06:32And basically,
06:33my mom was a teacher.
06:35Then after that,
06:35she was a lecturer.
06:37And then after that,
06:38went to the ministry,
06:39she became the head.
06:40So I learned a lot of things.
06:41My dad was in the corporate world.
06:43So we know a lot of things.
06:44We know the hardship.
06:45We know how,
06:46you know,
06:46we know how life is.
06:48So I think that taught me a lot of,
06:50gave me a lot more strength
06:51for me to also say things.
06:53But sometimes,
06:54despite all that,
06:55sometimes your mouth
06:56outbursts a little bit,
06:57you know.
06:57Sometimes,
06:57you know,
06:58we're human.
07:00So public service
07:01was something that,
07:02that you learned
07:03even at home.
07:03Yeah,
07:04I do that.
07:05And my mom and dad
07:06always tell us to,
07:08always,
07:09you know,
07:09help people.
07:10And then we,
07:10we clean up our own self.
07:12We do things,
07:12you know,
07:13part of discipline.
07:14But then at the end,
07:14the day that,
07:15that my dad always brings me back
07:17balik kampung sometimes,
07:18I will do the dishes.
07:19Kenduri?
07:20Where's kampung?
07:20No,
07:21my father's from the
07:22Bismillah.
07:22Okay.
07:22My mother's from
07:23Kolokangsa,
07:24Perak.
07:24Okay.
07:25So what we do is that
07:27every time Kenduri,
07:28I will be washing the dishes
07:29for everybody.
07:30At the back of the way.
07:32So,
07:32but then,
07:32I think maybe my dad said that,
07:34you know,
07:34to teach you how to be more
07:35humble or to be more,
07:37you know,
07:37you got to go to that.
07:39Maybe,
07:39I don't know.
07:40Right.
07:40But it worked.
07:41I think it worked.
07:42It worked.
07:42I'm good at washing dishes.
07:45Yeah.
07:48As someone who is shaping
07:50how Malaysia views
07:51disability through sports,
07:54what cultural or institutional
07:56barriers remain most stubborn?
07:57And how does
07:58the Paralympic Council of Malaysia
08:00confront them both
08:01on and off the field?
08:03Because you already mentioned
08:03one is just public perception.
08:05That's one thing.
08:06The way people view
08:07people who have disabilities,
08:09right?
08:09Yeah.
08:10I think another part is,
08:11okay,
08:12if you go into institutional,
08:13for example,
08:13government,
08:14I think there's still disparity
08:15in terms of,
08:16I've been repeating this
08:17in any interviews at all.
08:18I mean,
08:19I've been very consistent
08:20the past five years,
08:21four and fifth year,
08:23I guess.
08:23I mean,
08:23in this Paralympic thing,
08:27it's about institution
08:28being the disparity,
08:29being thing.
08:30We've been asking for merits,
08:31for example,
08:32not only for para sports
08:34or only,
08:34not only for any organization
08:36related to sports,
08:37but any organization
08:39that's for people
08:39with disability
08:40in terms of doing culture,
08:42blind painting,
08:45things like that.
08:45It's all about merits.
08:47So if they manage to do,
08:49for example,
08:49for us,
08:50if we win more gold medals,
08:52we deliver more trophies
08:56for the country,
08:57I think that we should be
08:58given that fairness.
09:01So as much as the able body
09:03that's been getting
09:04a lot of budget
09:05and all that,
09:05but then there's
09:06not much glory over there.
09:08So I think accountability
09:09as well as responsibility
09:11is important
09:11in terms of managing
09:12public funds.
09:14And so I believe
09:15the whole Malaysian,
09:17the whole country
09:17knows that,
09:18you know,
09:18this is taxpayers' money.
09:19So they want to know
09:20their money being invested
09:21in something
09:22that's being their glory.
09:23So that's fair.
09:24You ask anybody in town,
09:25we'll see that.
09:26And going through,
09:28I think,
09:28like I said,
09:28stigma and also the individual,
09:30they spell this inclusivity,
09:33environmental,
09:34sustainability,
09:35governance,
09:35ESG,
09:37being,
09:37you know,
09:38that is just words.
09:40So I think that
09:40the leadership
09:41that sits in all
09:42this organization
09:43have to have the empathy
09:45or to understand it more.
09:46It's not just a word
09:47or a campaign
09:47or a mission
09:49or vision of a company.
09:50It's not just by using it
09:51to be fit
09:52in a society.
09:53Oh, we're inclusive.
09:54It's not that.
09:55You don't do it well.
09:57You got to do it.
09:58You got to embrace it.
09:59You got to really be in it.
10:01You know,
10:01you got to real,
10:02I don't know.
10:03I'm just saying that
10:03walk the talk.
10:05We don't want it
10:06just for the show.
10:07We just don't want
10:08it's just a slogan.
10:09We just don't want
10:10as a part of a government
10:11initiative
10:12that you have to be inclusivity
10:13that using that word
10:14just to cover up everything
10:16but the actual fact
10:16on the ground,
10:17nothing is going on.
10:19Right.
10:19We want to see things happen.
10:20We want to see things happen
10:21in terms of, you know,
10:22even accessibility
10:23in terms of the public.
10:25I think they're improving
10:26but then I think more of
10:27you can't have the whole mall
10:28for example.
10:29I don't quote this.
10:30I'm just saying that
10:31maybe some malls in town
10:33is big
10:33but then you have
10:34a parking for disability
10:35less than 20.
10:38Right.
10:38That doesn't make any sense.
10:40So it's not 10% of it.
10:41So you have to have
10:412,000 parking.
10:42You must have 10%
10:43at least minimum of my thing
10:44for people with disability
10:46to park.
10:47Right.
10:47Despite whether
10:48a person who drives
10:49who's disabled
10:49or the family
10:51who's bringing
10:51a disability child
10:53or disabled parents
10:54or people on a wheelchair
10:55they're allowed to use it.
10:56So then
10:57you cannot think
10:58only that person
10:59who's disabled
11:00driving only
11:01but there's also
11:01you know,
11:02for example,
11:03I use this because
11:04I do park at the disabled park
11:05because my daughter's
11:06on a wheelchair
11:07so it's difficult
11:08for my daughter
11:09to come out
11:09from the side
11:10if we have
11:10another car parked
11:11side to side.
11:12So I try to
11:13and I put name there
11:14please call me
11:15I will explain
11:15why I park here.
11:17So I go to the extent
11:18to explain.
11:19Yeah.
11:19So I think that's
11:20instead of hoping
11:21that people will do
11:22what I do
11:22then have more parking.
11:24Right.
11:25It's interesting
11:25that you bring this up
11:26because what you're saying
11:27there is that
11:27it's not just
11:29what we can do
11:30for our
11:31sportsmen
11:32and sports
11:32women with disabilities
11:33it's the wider
11:35rakyat
11:36can help.
11:37It's on the ground
11:37it's not about us
11:38it's basically
11:39I mean
11:41one day
11:42you will never know
11:43you go back from work
11:44you made an accident
11:44you don't have legs
11:45your legs
11:46so then you imagine
11:48you feel how people feel
11:49and then those
11:50individuals
11:50those person
11:52that goes through
11:53this daily
11:53and for some people
11:54in Brickfield
11:55they call it
11:57a blind city
11:58things like that
11:59but they manage to do it
12:00but then
12:00what if you
12:02what would you feel
12:03you will
12:04you will feel
12:05how I feel
12:06yeah
12:06so that's
12:07even despite
12:08you know
12:08I'm not disabled
12:09but
12:09you have that empathy
12:11empathy
12:11so you need to understand
12:13that
12:13I'm not asking
12:14you know
12:14we don't have the magic wand
12:15to make it happen
12:16you know
12:16it happens that way
12:17no
12:18but
12:18let us work towards
12:19what it is
12:20you know
12:20let us be the champion
12:21of Asia
12:22let us
12:23since with the
12:23chairmanship of ASEAN
12:24let me
12:25we use the slogan
12:26inclusivity
12:27right
12:27so I think
12:28let's show us
12:29the whole
12:30ASEAN
12:31that we are
12:31inclusivity
12:32what it is
12:33you see
12:33not just a word
12:35in past interviews
12:37you've actually noted
12:38how para-athletes
12:40achievements
12:41inspire able-bodied peers
12:43and the larger public
12:44have you seen moments
12:45where an athlete's success
12:47led to actual change
12:49whether it's in schools
12:50or public policy
12:51or corporate support
12:52yeah I think
12:53in terms of education
12:54yes
12:54the ministry of education
12:55has put a lot of effort
12:57in terms of
12:58making sure
12:58the normal schools
13:00basically that
13:01we do have
13:01as class
13:02they call it
13:05class political
13:06has
13:06so what we do
13:07is that
13:07they have more programs
13:08they get the kids together
13:09so I think that
13:10that approach
13:10from school is important
13:11that we have
13:13that impact
13:13has made that
13:14ministry happen
13:15so I would say
13:16kudos to ministry of education
13:17despite that
13:18they're having
13:18the classes there
13:19but then they get
13:19more involvement
13:20of the normal kids
13:22so you understand
13:23you've got to be kind
13:24even my children as well
13:25I teach them
13:25I say that
13:26you cannot
13:26you cannot
13:27you cannot laugh
13:28or you know
13:28why the kid has
13:30a robot leg
13:30you've got to
13:31ask all the questions
13:31you've got to
13:32you know
13:33be friends
13:34and you have some
13:34friends who doesn't
13:35so you've got to
13:35teach all that
13:36but then in terms
13:36of the corporate world
13:37the same thing
13:37that I will repeat
13:38again is that
13:39as much as that
13:40has impacted
13:40yes
13:41they have opened
13:41their eyes
13:42and at the end
13:43of the day
13:43since I'm a businessman
13:44as well
13:45entrepreneur
13:46also a philanthropist
13:47as well
13:48of course there's a ROI
13:49it's always numbers
13:50so then I have
13:52to take a greater
13:53length
13:54to convince them
13:55that investing
13:56in power sports
13:57what do they get
13:58so for us is that
13:59why do I can guarantee
14:01the corporate sponsors
14:02and all that
14:02is because that
14:03it's me doing it
14:04you call me
14:05you get back
14:06I'm responsible
14:07if I guarantee you
14:08I'll be the person
14:09who's liable for it
14:10so I think that
14:11that honesty
14:12and guaranteed
14:13by the corporate
14:15they want that
14:15so I think that
14:16approach has opened up
14:17publicly
14:18people are looking
14:19at power sports more
14:20they say
14:20hey this is better
14:20they learn
14:21and it feels that
14:22because I think
14:22the turning point
14:23was in Paris Paralympic
14:24whereby the whole
14:25the whole world
14:26the view was
14:27it went more than
14:282 billion viewers
14:29for that
14:30so they know
14:31that para inclusivity
14:32has reached globally
14:33so I think
14:34we in Malaysia
14:35has the fact
14:36that we have
14:37got the effect
14:37so I think
14:38people know more
14:39now
14:39so that's why
14:40sensitive issues
14:41I have to address
14:42I have to make sure
14:43and it's great
14:46that you actually
14:47are not afraid
14:48to actually
14:50deal with these
14:51difficult questions
14:52head on right
14:52yeah I'm not
14:53you mentioned
14:54Paris 2024
14:55Malaysia's para-athletes
14:57keep bringing home
14:58gold medals
14:58especially after
14:59Paris 2024
15:00but we're still
15:01waiting for our
15:02first Olympic gold
15:03how is the
15:04Paralympic Council
15:05of Malaysia
15:05using this momentum
15:07to plan
15:08for the future
15:10because we've been
15:11doing so well
15:11yeah I think
15:12what we were
15:13targeted back
15:14in Paris
15:15was 10 gold medals
15:17so at least
15:17we have
15:18but then
15:19we only got
15:20managed to get
15:21it till now
15:21since Rio
15:22then Tokyo
15:23and Paris
15:24so by looking
15:25forward
15:25I mean I got
15:26nothing against
15:27the able sports
15:28but then I think
15:29that I'm
15:31I'm bad at lying
15:34so to me
15:36is that
15:36I think
15:37the focus
15:38is that
15:39we have to be
15:39strict in terms
15:40of going back
15:41to the budget
15:41we cannot be
15:42funding something
15:43that is not
15:43being
15:44bringing in
15:46medals
15:46for example
15:46sports
15:47I don't want
15:48to mention
15:48sports
15:48I want to be
15:49you know
15:49very
15:50I mean
15:51transparent
15:52but
15:52penalising
15:54certain sports
15:55for example
15:55sports A
15:56you've been
15:57giving money
15:58they're not
15:58making
15:59they're not
15:59giving you
16:00results
16:00because it's
16:01a popular
16:01sports
16:02and then
16:04there's no
16:04results
16:05things like
16:05that
16:05but years
16:06and years
16:07it's been
16:07going that
16:07way
16:07and despite
16:08knowing that
16:10it seems
16:11that if
16:11you're not
16:12able to
16:12win on
16:13certain
16:13sports
16:14that's why
16:14I said
16:14merits is
16:15important
16:15so merits
16:17without
16:17discrimination
16:17that's what
16:18the same
16:18thing I
16:18told another
16:19interview as
16:20well
16:21so when
16:21you have
16:21merits
16:22you don't
16:23worry about
16:24all that
16:24because why
16:24because you
16:25have to be
16:26accountable to
16:27what you
16:27spend
16:27so then I
16:28said
16:28as long as
16:30we behave
16:30that way
16:31and you
16:31ask me
16:31how
16:32the able
16:33is going
16:33to get
16:33gold medal
16:34I don't
16:34have any
16:35idea
16:36but then
16:37I can't
16:39be that
16:39transparent
16:40yes you
16:41can
16:41yes you
16:42can
16:43is the
16:44Paralympic
16:44Council of
16:45Malaysia
16:45structured
16:46to be
16:47able to
16:48pivot
16:48quickly
16:49yeah I
16:50mean I
16:50mean for
16:51example I
16:52give long
16:52story short
16:53the Paralympic
16:54Council of
16:54Malaysia we
16:55have roughly
16:55about 23
16:56power sports
16:57the beauty
16:58about Paralympic
16:58is that because
16:59we hold
17:00certain sports
17:00that's under
17:01our arm
17:02directly under
17:03the International
17:03Paralympic
17:04Committee
17:04so that
17:05sports to
17:06make sure
17:06that it
17:07develops
17:07it gives
17:08awareness
17:10or even
17:10we have the
17:11grassroot level
17:11we've got to
17:12promote the
17:12sport so that's
17:13part of our
17:14job as well
17:14so we do
17:16a lot of
17:16that engagement
17:17and we take
17:17responsibility in
17:18terms of that
17:19that's why it's
17:20easy for us to
17:20I mean away in
17:22terms of getting
17:22grassroot level
17:23we know where
17:24we result we
17:24know that where
17:25we're getting it
17:26we know whether
17:26we're winning
17:26we're losing
17:27so I think that
17:28particular grasp
17:29that we have
17:30is that it's
17:31more realistic for
17:32us to know
17:32that whether
17:33we can achieve
17:33or not
17:34so I think
17:34going back to
17:35Abel's bodies
17:36I think that
17:37I say guys
17:38you know as much
17:38as I love you
17:39all but then
17:40you guys got to
17:41wake up
17:41if you're not
17:42going to win
17:43we're not going
17:43to do things
17:44stop it
17:44invest in
17:45something else
17:46for example
17:46don't worry
17:47we're never
17:48going to win
17:48100 meters
17:48for example
17:49you can never
17:50beat Hussein
17:52Bolk
17:52we're just
17:52not built
17:53that way
17:53so if we
17:54still cannot
17:55run at
17:5610.00 to
17:57reach the
17:58final
17:58why the hell
17:59are we supposed
17:59to waste money
18:00on the person
18:01who thinks
18:02that he can
18:02win but
18:02unfortunately
18:03over the past
18:033-4 years
18:03he can't
18:04reach 10
18:04seconds
18:05so why
18:05we're wasting
18:06money
18:06so why don't
18:07we choose
18:08another sport
18:09for example
18:09the reason why
18:10I always say
18:11let's look at
18:12China
18:12they go into
18:13all the
18:13sports they
18:14win
18:14for example
18:14ping pong
18:15table tennis
18:16all the
18:16small sports
18:16when they win
18:17they conquer it
18:18then they move
18:19into the
18:19mainstream sports
18:20so I think
18:20we have to
18:21re-look back
18:21strategically
18:22we have
18:23good heart
18:23we have
18:24big heart
18:24we have
18:25big ambition
18:25so going
18:26back
18:26we don't
18:27have the
18:27guys
18:27we don't
18:28have the
18:28ability
18:28the
18:30gymnastics
18:30to run
18:319.99
18:32forget about
18:34it
18:34but
18:34not
18:35putting
18:37kids
18:38or anybody's
18:39aspiration
18:40down the
18:41drain
18:41but
18:42we have to
18:42be realistic
18:43here
18:43so if
18:44we're going
18:44to be
18:44karen
18:45is going
18:45to be
18:45our best
18:46sport
18:46why not
18:47make it
18:48karen
18:48ping pong
18:50table tennis
18:51bully
18:51go ahead
18:55so then
18:55that's
18:56glory
18:56so you
18:57know your
18:57shortcomings
18:58but because
18:58we do not
18:59know our
18:59shortcomings
19:00but that's
19:01why I say
19:01sometimes
19:02it's quite
19:02funny that
19:03when you
19:03don't win
19:03anything
19:04but then
19:04certain
19:04organization
19:05has
19:05naik
19:06pangkat
19:07dapat gaji
19:08so it
19:09doesn't
19:09reflect
19:09it doesn't
19:10make sense
19:10so you're
19:11the ministry
19:12who handles
19:13performance
19:14but then
19:14there's no
19:14performance
19:15but you
19:15you get
19:16promotion
19:17I don't
19:18I don't
19:18know
19:18I don't
19:19understand
19:20the marriage
19:20I'm sorry
19:22but that's
19:23how it is
19:23if it's in
19:24Europe
19:24if it's in
19:24the UK
19:26or Australia
19:27or even in
19:28the US
19:28I think
19:28marriage will
19:29be the
19:30first
19:30second
19:30favorite
19:31is
19:31I don't
19:32know
19:32but then
19:33marriage is
19:34important
19:34I'm sure
19:36many people
19:37would agree
19:37with you
19:38for sure
19:38I hope
19:40so you
19:40know
19:41Dr. Sri
19:41you've also
19:42said that
19:42para-athletes
19:43deserve
19:43just as
19:44much
19:44recognition

21:34the stakeholders
21:35media
21:36corporate
21:36please change
21:37please
21:38think about
21:38something else
21:39because you
21:39know
21:39I'm not
21:40putting down
21:41some other
21:42spots
21:42let's put
21:43the money
21:44where
21:44you're going
21:45to get
21:45most of
21:46the value
21:46you can see
21:48the achievement
21:48and plus
21:49I said
21:49it's not
21:49about
21:50only winning
21:50it's also
21:51about
21:51making sure
21:52that the
21:53public
21:53knows
21:53making sure
21:54the
21:54brand
21:55is there
21:56you can
21:57have
21:57posters
21:57you can
21:58have
21:58posters
21:58around the
21:59town
21:59you can
22:00have
22:00FYP
22:00and the
22:01TikTok

22:06interesting
22:06that
22:06Parasports
22:07is not
22:08I'm always
22:09surprised that
22:10it's not
22:10getting as
22:11much attention
22:11as it should
22:12because
22:12it's often
22:14redefined
22:15it's often
22:16defined
22:17to show
22:17what it means
22:18to be
22:18strong
22:19when it
22:20comes to
22:20Parasports
22:20right
22:21because
22:21you see
22:22people
22:22go above

22:35it's
22:35two
22:35athletes
22:36that I

22:37honored to

28:54as
28:54athletes
28:55as
28:55well
28:55is
28:56either
28:56particular
28:56groups
28:57of
28:57people
28:57living
28:58with
28:58disabilities
28:58that
28:58should
28:59be
28:59able
28:59to
29:00get
29:00some
29:00sort
29:01of
29:01recognition
29:01to
29:01be
29:01able
29:02to
29:02participate
29:02maybe
29:03they
29:03have
29:03not
29:03been
29:04able
29:04to
29:04is
29:04that
29:04such
29:05a
29:05group
29:05yeah
29:05I
29:07think
29:07it's
29:08already
29:08minimized
29:08for example
29:09for Paralympic
29:10sports
29:10we have
29:11we call it
29:13the classification
29:14whereby we classify
29:15the disability
29:15of the person
29:16whether they can
29:17play a
29:17sport or not
29:17then we have
29:18the Special Olympics
29:18who covers
29:19certain
29:20Down syndrome
29:21autism
29:23so we have
29:23that covered
29:24then we also
29:24have Malaysian
29:25Deaf
29:25Deaflympics
29:26so by
29:27my counterpart
29:28to
29:28my counterpart
29:28Special Olympics
29:29is Mr. Bong
29:30Bong Khoi-Sin
29:31is the
29:31President
29:31and also
29:32Dr. Ong
29:33he's the
29:34President
29:34of the
29:34Malaysian
29:35Deaf
29:35Federation
29:36so I
29:36think
29:37that
29:37particular
29:37part
29:38it's all
29:39covered
29:39except for
29:40maybe
29:40individual
29:40who has
29:41severe
29:42disabilities
29:42maybe more
29:44medical
29:44attention
29:45that's
29:45needed
29:45that
29:46will be
29:46very
29:47crucial
29:47for them
29:48to
29:48participate
29:49or
29:49not
29:50advisable
29:50to
29:50participate
29:50so I
29:51think
29:51that
29:51particular
29:52part
29:52is
29:53mostly
29:53on
29:53medical
29:55reasons
29:55because
29:56they
29:56might
29:56put
29:56themselves
29:56at
29:57risk
29:57so I
29:58think
29:58mostly
29:59covered
29:59Down
29:59Syndrome
30:00you
30:00have
30:00CP
30:01also
30:01covered
30:02you
30:02also
30:03have
30:03autism
30:03is
30:03covered
30:04so I
30:04think
30:04that
30:05whole
30:05three
30:06organisation
30:07that we
30:07have
30:07and we're
30:08working closely
30:08together
30:09and I
30:10think
30:10we
30:10would
30:10cover
30:10but
30:11then
30:11again
30:11despite
30:12whichever
30:13small
30:14numbers
30:16of
30:16community
30:17who
30:17will
30:18not
30:18be
30:18able
30:19to
30:19participate
30:19we
30:19will
30:20try
30:20to
30:20find
30:20ways
30:20so we
30:21do
30:21not
30:21want
30:22to
30:23shut
30:24down
30:24them
30:24or
30:24give
30:25them
30:25there's
30:25no
30:26hope
30:26but
30:26we
30:26will
30:26try
30:27definitely
30:27so that's
30:28the best
30:29that we
30:29could
30:29do
30:29so I
30:29think
30:29Special
30:30Olympics
30:30is doing
30:30a good
30:31job
30:31and
30:33Alhamdulillah

30:41it's
30:41hard
