KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Hockey Confederation (MHC) will face a 30% cut in government funding and the ones set to feel the pinch the most are the two national hockey teams – junior and senior.

“This is basically the Government’s exercise to cut down on their expenses. And we will face a 30% cut. Of course, it will have an effect on us but it cannot be helped. We will carry on with our usual (development) programmes but there will be a review of the programmes drawn up by the national teams,” said MHC vice-president Datuk Nur Azmi Ahmed on Thursday.
