IWK joins hands with Paralympic council to champion disabled

Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd (IWK) has entered into a partnership with the Paralympic Council of Malaysia (PCM) to promote equal opportunities for individuals with disabilities and celebrate their abilities. The initiative, #WeThe15: Inclusive Together, aims to increase public awareness of disability inclusion, challenge stereotypes, and showcase the talents of this community.

IWK's involvement aligns with its Sahabat Istimewa IWK CSR program, which focuses on empowering the disabled, promoting inclusivity, and providing meaningful opportunities for them. IWK CEO M Narendan emphasized that inclusion extends beyond awareness, encompassing recognition, valuing, and offering equal opportunities for all to contribute and thrive.

The collaboration seeks to boost interest in para sports and prepare for the upcoming Asean Para Games 2027. PCM president Megat D Shahriman Zaharudin highlighted the role of sports in showcasing the abilities and achievements of disabled persons, stating that the initiative will raise public awareness and foster a more inclusive society as the games approach.

Both organizations signed a non-binding collaboration agreement to further promote disability inclusion and create greater opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
