This week's episode, we delve into the intricacies of the 2024 sports budget allocation, which has been hailed as a ‘game-changer’. Among the highlights of this budget includes a substantial RM20 million allocation for the "Road to Gold" program, leading up to the Paris Olympics next year. Moreover, it maintains tax relief for personal sporting equipment and introduces additional tax incentives for sports training fees. To provide insights and analysis on the budget allocation for sports next year, joining us is Datuk Dr. Ramlan Aziz, the Founding CEO of the National Sports Institute of Malaysia, who also serves as a technical advisor on the "Road to Gold" committee.
