I have to say that I am conscious of the duties and tasks ahead. These responsibilities are with trepidation and excitement as I lean forward to take up the position as President of the Paralympic Council of Malaysia. There is much to be done at the ground level in MPC. With the impending Paralympic Games 2016 around the corner, we need to create an opportunity far bigger than before and promote a positive and progressive attitude towards para sports.”
