KUALA LUMPUR: The National Sports Council (NSC) have always stood by their commitment to ensuring experienced local wushu coaches are competitively remunerated in recognition of their expertise and contributions to Malaysian sports.

The statement comes in response to media reports highlighting a suggestion by the Wushu Federation of Malaysia to raise salaries for local coaches to at least RM8,000 per month.
