RM20mil to fund more Rakan Muda programmes

Leong Yao Wen, 21, who suffers from Spinal Muscular Atrophy, won First Place in the Xiang Qi even though he had to play the game lying down.

A “GAME-CHANGING” allocation of RM20mil from Budget 2024 will be channelled to each state to organise Rakan Muda programmes promoting healthy living.

Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh said this during the opening ceremony of Milad Sports Carnival for the Disabled at the SS3 Multipurpose Hall in Petaling Jaya, which attracted more than 200 individuals with disabilities, their families and volunteers.
