Malaysia Secures RM825,000 Grant for UCI Track Cycling World Cup Final

Utusan Malaysia celebrates the significant government support for the UCI Track Cycling World Cup final round, underscoring Malaysia's capability as a world-class event host. The RM825,000 grant from the Sports Matching Grant (GPS) is hailed as a crucial boost for the Malaysian National Cycling Federation (PKBM), easing financial burdens and demonstrating the government's commitment to advancing cycling in the nation.

President of PKBM, Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill, conveyed deep appreciation to the Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) and its leadership, emphasizing that this funding is a testament to the government's continuous support for the sport. The federation's commitment to collaborating closely with KBS, the National Sports Council (MSN), and other stakeholders is paramount to ensuring the event's success and adherence to the highest standards set by the International Cycling Union (UCI).

“

Secara peribadi, bagi pihak PKBM, saya sangat berterima kasih kepada kerajaan khususnya KBS (Kementerian Belia dan Sukan). Sumbangan dana GPS bernilai RM825,000 ini pasti meringankan beban PKBM.

This event is particularly noteworthy as it has attracted a record 46 participating nations, the highest in the series' history. The presence of elite cyclists, including Olympic champions like Harrie Lavreysen of the Netherlands, further elevates the prestige of the competition. From a Malaysian perspective, hosting such a high-caliber event not only showcases the country's organizational prowess but also reinforces its standing in the global cycling arena, inspiring local athletes and fans alike.

“

Dengan sokongan padu kerajaan dan agensi-agensi berkaitan, kami yakin Malaysia akan sekali lagi membuktikan keupayaan sebagai penganjur bertaraf dunia dan seterusnya memperkukuh kedudukan negara dalam arena berbasikal global.
