  "account": "On the sixth meeting of the Cabinet Development Sports Council in 2026, the Malaysian government agreed to approve an additional allocation for the National Sports Talent Platform, aiming to create a more structured, personalized, and continuous pathway for talent development. The Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) reported this decision was made during the 6th meeting of the Cabinet Development Sports Council (JKPS) chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Zahid Hamidi.\n\nThe council also approved the implementation of the National Talent Development Plan (MyTP) to develop a more effective talent development pathway, personalization, and continuation. It discussed the expansion of opportunities for participation and talent development, including the planned Formula One (F1) Grand Prix (GP) Qatar at the Sepang International Circuit, currently in the planning stage.\n\nJKPS also showed interest in the development of electronic sports (e-sports) athletes, strengthening their talent development, training, and competition opportunities to ensure these athletes progress systematically and competitively. Other topics discussed included the establishment of a special council to reassess the goals and F1 Qatar Grand Prix funding model, focusing on logistics management, funding, organizational performance, stakeholder engagement, and economic and tourism impact.\n\nMoreover, JKPS considered the establishment of 20 elite-level sports categories as a strategic step to better focus and significantly impact national sports development. This move aims to ensure the planning of athlete development, talent identification, infrastructure provision, coaching development, and resource distribution can be carried out more systematically based on national sports potential and importance.\n\nTo encourage student participation in sports competitions, the council also discussed the need to classify sports competitions in schools, taking into account the students' age and physical development, coaching qualifications, competition rules, and injury management. KBS stated that these aspects receive special attention during the discussion.\n\nJKPS examined the coordination of sports and rowing development within the Higher Education Ministry (MOHE) ecosystem, focusing on bridging the gap from school to higher education institutions and ultimately to the national level. This includes training, facilities, coaching, and competitions through MOHE, KBS, and related sports organizations. The council also emphasized the need to reassess the prize money and athlete awards, including additional incentives for international achievements, to recognize accomplishments, increase motivation, and support the welfare of national athletes.",
