Sports is often seen as a way to bring people from all walks of life together, whether you’re playing or a spectator cheering on the game. That’s exactly what Projek Tongkat aims to do, by supporting and providing a space for amputees to partake in one of the most beloved sports in Malaysia: football. Here to share more about the project is its director, Dr Ahmad Munawwar Helmi Salim.
