TOGETHER WE CAN DO IT!!

We know that many athletes are having difficulty right now due to the world pandemic issues (Covid-19). Because of that, the Government finally decides to give the permission for the athletes to return to practice for moral boost. This was reported from Bernama at Astro Awani websites.

The government's decision to provide special relaxation to the country's athletes under the Road to Tokyo 2020 Program (RTT) to resume their daily training that will start by next month had given them ample time to regain confidence ahead of the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games next year.

The Malaysian Olympic Council (MOM) in a statement on Tuesday said they were grateful for the approval given by the National Security Council (MKN) and the Ministry of Health (MOH) for 265 individuals under the RTT program to resume training at three locations from June 1 to 30.

1. Bandar Sukan Bukit Jalil
2. The Malaysian Badminton Academy in Bukit Kiara
3. National Boat Training Center in Langkawi

On behalf of the athletes and the National Sports Association (NSA) that are preparing for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, MOM would like to thank to the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) for taking the initiative, continuing to engage relevant stakeholders to ensure that the interests of athletes and our employees are protected.

However, MOM emphasized that the health and well-being of national officials and athletes remains their priority. Adding that the safety of returning to training is a gradual process.The national sports body said standard operating procedures (SOP) issued by the Government would allow athletes and national officials to return to training in the safest environment.

MOM also stated that they will continue to seek the advice from The Ministry of Youth and Sports, The National Sports Association for the athletes and officials as they continue to monitor the latest protocols and refine the SOP to enable 'normal' training process.

Our Cluster Defense Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said at a press conference, that the government had given special relaxation to 265 individuals including 57 athletes involved in the Road to Tokyo 2020 program to begin preparations and training on June 1.

The approval was given following the request of Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Reezal Merican Naina Merican on preparations of the athlete performance for Olympic and Paralympic Games in Tokyo.
