Youth and Sports Ministry to prioritise grassroots sports development and athlete welfare in Budget 2027

The Youth and Sports Ministry has submitted its Budget 2027 proposals focusing on grassroots sports, youth participation, and athletes' welfare to the Finance Ministry.

The framework was developed from feedback obtained through the Madani Youth Budget Tour across six zones, engaging youth organisations and sports associations.

The ministry aims to increase public sports participation and plans nationwide programmes in 2027 to engage with youths through both large and small-scale activities.

GEORGE TOWN, Sept 6 — The Youth and Sports Ministry (KBS) has submitted an initial framework of its Budget 2027 proposals to the Finance Ministry (MOF) for consideration, with grassroots sports development, youth participation and athletes’ welfare among the ministry’s priorities.

Youth and Sports Minister Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari said the framework was prepared based on input gathered through the Madani Youth Budget Tour being conducted in six zones nationwide.

“Although all the tour sessions have not been completed, KBS has obtained various views from youth organisations, sports associations as well as unorganised youths for review and assessment.

“So far, we have held initial discussions with Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan and have submitted the initial framework for MOF’s assessment,” he told reporters after attending the Oregeon Tower Run Series flag off at The TOP Atrium, here today.

The ministry wants to provide more space and opportunities for the public to participate in sports activities, particularly at the grassroots level to produce more reserve athletes and will focus on athletes’ welfare, including those who have retired or had previously contributed to the country, he added.

Dr Mohammed Taufiq said his ministry also takes into account the views of sports associations and youth organisations as well as the needs of youths in rural areas and those who have not previously participated in any ministry organisations or programmes.

He also shared that his ministry intends to hold various nationwide tour programmes in 2027 to reach as many youths as possible, including through large-scale activities and smaller programmes at the community level.

“We want to implement programmes touring throughout Malaysia next year to meet as many young people as possible by carrying out mass activities as well as small-scale activities so that we can engage with every young person,” he said. — Bernama

青年和体育部已向财政部提交了2027年预算提案，重点关注基层体育、青年参与和运动员福利。

该框架是在马达尼青年预算巡回活动期间，通过与六个地区的青年组织和体育协会的互动，收集反馈意见后制定的。

该部旨在提高公众参与体育运动的积极性，并计划在 2027 年开展全国性项目，通过各种规模的活动吸引青年参与。

乔治市，9月6日讯——青年及体育部（KBS）已向财政部（MOF）提交了2027年财政预算案的初步框架，供其审议。该部将基层体育发展、青年参与和运动员福利列为优先事项。

青年和体育部长穆罕默德·陶菲克·乔哈里博士表示，该框架是根据在全国六个地区开展的“马达尼青年预算巡回之旅”收集的意见制定的。

“虽然所有巡回活动尚未完成，但KBS已从青年组织、体育协会以及非正规青年那里获得了各种意见，以供审查和评估。

“到目前为止，我们已经与第二财政部长拿督斯里阿米尔·哈姆扎·阿齐赞进行了初步讨论，并提交了初步框架供财政部评估，”他今天在出席位于此地的 TOP Atrium 的 Oregeon Tower Run 系列赛发车仪式后告诉记者。

该部希望为公众提供更多参与体育活动的空间和机会，尤其是在基层层面，以培养更多后备运动员，并将重点关注运动员的福利，包括那些已经退役或曾经为国家做出过贡献的运动员，他补充道。

穆罕默德·陶菲克博士表示，他的部门还会考虑体育协会和青年组织的意见，以及农村地区青年和以前没有参加过任何部委组织或计划的青年的需求。

他还透露，他的部门计划在 2027 年举办各种全国巡回活动，以尽可能多地接触到青年人，包括通过大规模活动和社区层面的小型项目。

他说：“我们计划明年在马来西亚各地开展巡回活动，通过举办大型活动和小型活动，尽可能多地接触年轻人，以便与每一位年轻人互动。”——马新社
