00:00My struggle will not stop here.
00:04According to the leadership of Dato' Nurul Arifin Abdul Majid,
00:07as the official chairman of the National Athletic Association,
00:10on March 7, after 6 years of devoting himself as a witness,
00:14there was a person who still stood with the former national athlete.
00:18Their names began to fade with the passing of time.
00:22His retirement marks the end of the era of leadership
00:26who has never tired of fighting for the welfare of athletes,
00:28regardless of financial, medical support or special incentives.
00:33Since taking office in 2019,
00:36Dato' Nurul is not just an ordinary leader,
00:39he is the voice and voice of the hundreds of athletes
00:41who are challenged with various problems in life.
00:45Outside, it is usually done by other chairmen,
00:49where we have a personal touch with former athletes.
00:53That is one of the connections we have.
00:57We have done a lot of special training,
01:00bringing in funds from outside to work.
01:04For example, we have done it with the National Athletic Association,
01:07with the Malaysian Academy of Sports, and so on.
01:09This is one way.
01:11Not only do we want to give fish,
01:13but we also want to teach the former athletes
01:15to swim or catch fish.
01:18What I really hope is that the chairmen will come.
01:21Yes, we have money.
01:23We have two million from the MFF,
01:26so we will have five million.
01:28There must be a sponsor to make programs.
01:33The money is 100% for the welfare of former athletes.
01:39Because the cost of treatment is getting higher and higher.
01:42The burden is also increasing.
01:45His leadership has also made history
01:47with him being the only chairman
01:49who managed to manage Yakib in overtime for three months
01:52without letting any athlete get hurt
01:55from receiving attention.
01:57Although his service has ceased,
01:59the legacy of his struggle and attention
02:01to former national athletes will not be lost.
02:04Fighters and former sports athletes
02:06who are determined to fight for the fate of former athletes
02:08who once glorified the name of Malaysia a moment ago.
02:12Now, the fight will continue
02:14with the former head of the National Association Board,
02:16Dato' Ahmad Syapawi Ismail,
02:18as the new chairman of Yakib.
02:22So far, we have about 3,200 athletes
02:27from all over Malaysia, including Sabah and Sarawak.
02:30Sometimes I go to Kelantan, Keringganu,
02:35to visit them.
02:37That's what we should do.
02:41I really hope that the new chairman
02:45will do better than me.
02:48He should spend more time with the former athletes.
02:52These former athletes,
02:54we don't want to help them financially.
02:57In fact, they want to be visited.
