Ahmad Faizal: Private companies keen to sponsor high-performance programmes

KUALA LUMPUR: Several private companies have expressed interest in collaborating with the Youth and Sports Ministry in providing sponsorship to ensure the continuity of high-performance sports programmes next year.

Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Faizal Azumu, however, admitted that the offers received were still insufficient and invited private companies and other corporate bodies to work with the ministry to help athletes undergo training through the programmes so that they can continue to compete at the highest level.
