KUALA LUMPUR, July 7 (Bernama) – The Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) is enhancing national sports development with an allocation of RM1 million through the National Sports Trust Fund (KWASN) to identify and nurture athletic talent among members of the nation's uniformed bodies.

Athletes from ATM, PDRM, JBPM, and JPM are also active in several other national-level sports, including lawn bowls, sepaktakraw, cycling, hockey, and boxing. The statement highlighted some of the outstanding achievements by athletes from uniformed bodies, such as Saritha Cham Nong (ATM), who clinched a gold medal in the women's compound team event at the Asia Archery Cup Championship in Singapore, and Erma Firyana Saroji (PDRM), who won a gold medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games and a bronze at the 2025 World Bowls Indoor Championship in Scotland.
