The National Sports Council (NSC) today said the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) is responsible for funding its delegation to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

In a statement today, NSC also explained that the cost of financing OCM guests is borne by the parties concerned and does not involve government funds.

“The NSC is only responsible for financing the costs involving athletes, coaches, NSC officers, the National Sports Institute and the operations of Malaysia House for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, France.

“OCM is responsible for funding its delegation and their guests. It does not involve government funds,” according to the statement.

Malaysia has won two bronze medals through badminton contributed by men’s doubles Aaron Chia-Soh Wooi Yik and men’s singles Lee Zii Jia.

The country’s first Olympic gold medal mission is now focused on national track cycling champion Mohd Azizulhasni Awang who aims to improve on the silver medal he won in the keirin event at the Tokyo 2020 edition.
