00:00Ex-Chairman of the Sports Committee, Mr R Jaganathan,
00:03asked the Supreme Leader of the Malaysian Paralympic Committee, MPM,
00:06to step down respectfully.
00:08It is a sign of MPM's failure to monitor several major issues
00:12in the Paralympic Games and Paralympic Paralympic Games.
00:18This is very saddening and worries the future of the Paralympic Games.
00:25We don't want people to come and sit there.
00:28MPM should be cleaned up.
00:31I'm daring to say, maybe people don't like it.
00:34Clean up. We want a new team to build up.
00:37I don't want MPM to go down.
00:42In my time, the Asians had the lowest gold medal, 27 gold medals.
00:49Chai Sapawi was that.
00:51Barboni, 7 gold medals.
00:53When I asked, MPM laughed at me.
00:56I feel very sad.
00:58I used to get 42 Paralympic gold medals.
01:01Now, 7 gold medals.
01:03So, from my heart, I want a new leader, a new team,
01:08to help us to bring back the glory of Paralympic Games.
01:13Following the annual meeting next month,
01:16Mr Jaganathan insisted that the best replacement for MPM
01:20is the former head of the Malaysian Paralympic Committee,
01:23Dato Amat Chai Sapawi Amat.
01:25Chai Sapawi's dedication to Paralympic Games
01:28can't be underestimated.
01:30Chai Sapawi is the most understanding individual
01:33in the needs of Paralympic athletes.
01:40I support Dato Sapawi 100%.
01:43I don't know if he wants it or not.
01:45Without his knowledge, I'm informing.
01:47I hope Dato Sapawi will accept what I'm trying to say.
01:51He knows our weaknesses.
01:55I think Dato Sapawi must come back,
01:58give him a chance.
02:00I think he knows all the sports,
02:02and all the national athletes.
02:04He knows all the athletes.
02:07We need the right person for the right job.
