Selangor MB promises better pool access for Sukma para swimmers
SHAH ALAM: Selangor Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Amirudin Shari has assured that the disruption to the Malaysia Games (Sukma) para swimming team's training session, which went viral on social media, will not happen again.
Selangor's Chief Minister Amirudin Shari has vowed to prevent future disruptions to the Selangor para Swimming team's training, following a recent incident that was widely shared on social media. The state government will ensure better coordination of pool schedules, taking into consideration the training needs of all athletes, especially during the ongoing swimming events.
Amirudin stated that several schedules may have needed adjustment due to the simultaneous occurrence of the swimming competitions. The Selangor para Sukma team had to halt their training abruptly to allow other participants to utilize the facility, resulting in potential loss of valuable training time ahead of their competitions.
Despite the setback, Amirudin expressed confidence in the team's performance, noting that they currently have a strong lead in the competition. Meanwhile, the overall Sukma event is set to host over 5,000 young athletes from across the nation competing for 468 gold medals across 37 sports from August 25 to August 24, while the para Sukma event will take place from September 5 to September 14.
