NSC ready to back heritage swimmers for national squad
THE National Sports Council (NSC) is open to assisting heritage swimmers identified by Malaysia Aquatics (MAS) to bolster the national team. NSC director-general Jefri Ngadirin stated that while the council welcomes the initiative, swimmers must first qualify under existing athlete support programmes. 'They will only receive assistance if they meet the criteria for the Podium Programme or similar schemes. 'There will be no extra financial burden,' Jefri said after officiating the Sepaktakraw Association of Malaysia (PSM) annual meeting at the World Trade Centre (WTC) today. MAS recently revealed efforts to scout heritage swimmers abroad, with five potential candidates aged 14 to 19 already identified. Jefri also praised PSM's progress under president Datuk Mohd Sumali Reduan, urging other sports bodies to emulate its success.

NSC Open To Supporting Heritage Swimmers, Says DG
KUALA LUMPUR, June 29 (Bernama) -- The National Sports Council (NSC) welcomes the initiative by Malaysia Aquatics (MAS) to scout for heritage swimmers to further strengthen the national swimming squad. NSC director-general Jefri Ngadirin said the council is prepared to support any heritage athlete who has the potential to contribute to Malaysian sports. However, these swimmers must first meet the requirements set by NSC, he pointed out. bootstrap slideshow 'They will only be given assistance if they qualify for the Podium Programme or other related programmes. So there's no additional financial implication. 'Like any other athlete, they must meet the criteria set by NSC to be admitted into the programme, or by the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) to represent the country in international competitions,' he told reporters after officiating the Sepaktakraw Association of Malaysia (PSM) annual general meeting at the World Trade Centre (WTC) here today. Yesterday, MAS disclosed that the association is actively working to identify heritage swimmers based abroad. MAS swimming committee chairman Marilyn Chua said they have already identified five promising candidates, aged between 14 and 19 years old. Meanwhile, Jefri commended the leadership of PSM under its president Datuk Mohd Sumali Reduan, saying it has improved significantly compared to the past. He expressed hope that other sports associations will follow PSM's example, which has led to its current strong standing.
