The 2024 Paris Paralympics commences this week with Malaysia represented by a 30-person strong contingent and a target of four gold medals. Malaysia has achieved Paralympic gold glory since the 2016 Rio Games, but why has this not been rewarded with greater investment in para-sports? We get perspectives from Datuk Dr Ras Adiba Radzi, Chairperson of Persatuan OKU Sentral, and also a former Paralympic Shooter.
