No RM1mil reward for Muhammad Ziyad, says Ahmad Faizal


PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): National shot putter Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli will not receive the RM1mil reward under the National Sports Incentive Scheme (Shakam) following his disqualification in the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.

Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu said the decision made by the Youth and Sports Ministry, however, was not a form of punishment for the para athlete after he missed out on the chance to defend his gold medal at the Tokyo Paralympics in August.
