Masih tak boleh move on dari kemenangan Ridzuan dan Ziyad awal pagi tadi. Tergerak hati nak ceritakan peristiwa tiga tahun lepas. Saya baru dua bulan sahaja dilantik jadi Menteri Sukan. Tiba-tiba terima berita dari Lyon, France seorang atlet negara bernama Ziyad Zolkefli telah menang di kejohanan olahraga dunia. Dunia beb!
Lepas saya terima berita tersebut saya tanya pegawai semada kementerian menyediakan insentif untuk kemenangan tersebut. Saya diberi jawapan memang ada. "Tapi YB jumlah yang diberi kurang sebab ini sukan para." Saya tanya kurang berapa. "Atlet para ni dapat 30% dari nilai ganjaran atlet biasa/normal."
Beberapa hari kemudian ada mesyuarat Lembaga Majlis Sukan Negara. Saya selaku Menteri dan juga Pengerusi MSN sendiri bangkitkan isu ganjaran untuk atlet para. Saya kata tidak adil mereka terima insentif kurang dari atlet biasa. Saya cadangkan kita tukar polisi ini. Bagi sama rata. Macam-macam hujah diberi untuk menidakkan cadangan saya. "Paralimpik ini baharu." "Acara mereka tak ramai penyertaan." "Paralimpik ini terlalu banyak kategori acara, mudah untuk menang." Nampak gaya lembaga cenderung untuk menolak cadangan saya.
Saya teringat balik pada Ziyad dan pengorbanannya. Takkan saya mengalah sedangkan beliau mengatasi segala kekurangan untuk menjadi juara dunia? Bilik mesyuarat senyap, menunggu Menteri baharu, muda dan mentah menyerah kalah di tangan para otai pentadbir sukan. Saya pinjamkan semangat Ziyad dan saya tanya satu soalan sahaja. Saya masih ingat, saya tanya dalam Bahasa Inggeris. "Do any of you around this table know what it takes to become a world champion with a disability? What it takes to overcome your disability and succeed?" Tiada seorang pun dapat menjawab. Saya sambung, "Baiklah, daripada sekarang atlet Malaysia semua, tak kira biasa ke, para ke, diberi ganjaran yang sama."
Terima kasih Ziyad kerana memberi saya semangat untuk mengubah layanan terhadap atlet para tiga tahun lepas. Hari ini Malaysia is one of the only countries in the world yang memberi insentif sama kepada atlet biasa dan atlet 'luarbiasa'.
Our para athletes' achievements and sacrifices must be honoured the same as other athletes. Not 30% of 'normal' athletes. I would not know how to feel 30% proud of them. I only feel 100% proud of our para heroes. They have shown us that yes, they are not ordinary. They are extraordinary. LUAR BIASA!

I took a selfie with World No.1 tennis player Novak Djokovic in Olympic village. He is one of my favorite athletes. It's great to meet him!
After the Olympics, I finally have a short vacation to spend some time with my family, miss them so much! I will return to the National training center in September to strive for the following badminton tournaments.
Thanks for your support, I will come back stronger!

Pertama saya mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua yang telah menyampaikan pandangan dan komen mengenai para atlet Paralimpik kita dalam media sosial. Saya sangat gembira sebab sekian lama merek tidak dapat perhatian sepertimana mereka dapat hari ini daripada 'netizens' Malaysia.
Namun demikian, izinkan saya juga memberi sedikit penerangan berkenaan posting-posting yang tersebar luas berkenaan kejayaan mereka (seperti gambar-gambar dibawah) seolah-olah mereka tidak diberi perhatian mahupun pengiktirafan oleh kerajaan sepertimana yang diberi kepada para atlet Olimpik tempoh hari.
Ada yang baru jumpa video Ridzuan Puzi yang telah menang pingat emas dalam acara 100m T36. Mereka share video ini seolah-olah kemenangan itu perkara baharu yang baharu sahaja berlaku. Actually, video itu daripada tahun 2015 di Kejohanan Dunia Olahraga Para bukannya di Paralimpik 2016. Paralimpik 2016 yang dianjurkan di Rio belum bermula lagi. Kontinjen Paralimpik Malaysia belum berlepas lagi (mereka berlepas esok) dan saya baru sahaja berjumpa dengan mereka petang tadi (ada gambar di bawah). Jadi mustahil berlaku apa-apa kemenangan Paralimpik 2016 sebab temasya tersebut belum bermula lagi.
Ada yang mungkin tanya, "OK lah, kalau benda tu benda yang lama, apa yang kamu buat? Takkan kamu tak iktiraf beliau?" Jawapannya semua ada pada gambar-gambar yang ada di bawah. Ridzuan Puzi diraikan dalam pelbagai acara. Beliau diberikan imbuhan yang sama seperti atlet 'biasa' (sejak saya dilantik Menteri Sukan insentif kemenangan bagi atlet 'biasa' dan atlet Para atau OKU adalah sama rata). Beliau menang anugerah di Anugerah Sukan Negara yang disiar secara langsung dengan keberangkatan DYMM SPB Yang di Pertuan Agong. Beliau di angkat sebagai Anak Muda Terbilang di Perhimpunan Pemuda UMNO. Biar gambar berbicara apa yang telah kita laksanakan. Sama juga untuk atlet para yang lain seperti Felicia Mikat yang juga dinobatkan di Anugerah Sukan Negara.
Petang tadi sewaktu saya berjumpa kontinjen Paralimpik negara saya mengulangi komitmen saya bahawa nilai pingat mereka sama dengan pingat di Olimpik dan mereka juga akan dapat elaun bulanan sepanjang hayat (pencen) sekiranya menang pingat sepertimana atlet 'biasa'.
Mungkin ada yang juga kata tak ada publisiti, sebab itu orang tak tahu tentang semua ini. Mungkin ada kebenaran disitu. Tapi kalau semak FB saya, memang sentiasa saya mempromosikan atlet Paralimpik luarbiasa Malaysia. Saya telah tulis tentang perubahan dasar supaya mereka diberikan insentif atau imbuhan yang sama pada 2013. Tapi mungkin ramai yang tak sempat baca.
Namun walauapa pun, saya rasa gembira sebab walaupun ada yang kecam saya dengan fakta dan andaian yang tidak tepat, sekurang-kurangnya ramai yang mula pandang kepada para atlet OKU kita. Saya harap sokongan ini berterusan. Bukannya hanya waktu nak bash pihak tertentu apabila benda yang tidak betul diviralkan.
Please share this post with your friends. Not so much for me but because people should know that our para athletes have been looked after and celebrated when no one really paid much attention. It's ok that you dislike me and the government I represent but please don't say we don't care about them. I have supported Malaysian para athletes since my first day in office and I will continue to support them long after the spotlight moves to the latest viral issue Malaysian netizens want to latch on to.
In the meantime, please support them in the upcoming Rio Paralympic Games. Mereka luarbiasa. Dan saya yakin mereka akan mencipta sejarah yang luarbiasa di Paralimpik Rio 2016.

Michael Jordan's coach pleaded with him to go back in the game, and the opposing coach made sure Jordan had the chance to end his career with a basket.
Jordan's last shot was a free throw, and like his final appearance in an NBA uniform, it was good.
One of the greatest players in NBA history played the final game of his illustrious career Wednesday night, not in the setting that he would have preferred but in a special atmosphere nonetheless. Jordan's final moment on the court ended with him receiving applause and a lengthy standing ovation from nearly everyone in the arena -- including the coaches and the other players.
He soaked it all up with a wide smile and a wave to the crowd after exiting for good with 1:44 remaining in the fourth quarter of a 107-87 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers.
``Now I guess it hits me that I'm not going to be in a uniform anymore -- and that's not a terrible feeling,'' Jordan said afterward. ``It's something that I've come to grips with, and it's time. This is the final retirement.''
Jordan finished with 15 points, four rebounds and four assists in 28 minutes -- drawing several adoring ovations from the last sellout crowd that will ever watch him play.
``The Philly people did a great job. They gave me the biggest inspiration, in a sense,'' Jordan said. ``Obviously, they wanted to see me make a couple of baskets and then come off. That was very, very respectful, and I had a good time.''
Jordan's final points almost looked scripted, with Eric Snow of the 76ers fouling him in the backcourt for no apparent reason except to send him to the line.
``Coach (Larry Brown) told me to foul him, get him to the line to get some points and get him out of there,'' Snow said.
Both foul shots went in, and the Wizards committed a foul one second later so that Jordan could be removed from the game and receive the proper send-off. In a rare scene, the 10 players who remained on the court turned to Jordan and applauded, too.
The 40-year-old Jordan would have preferred to end his career in the playoffs, but the Wizards never clicked during his two years in Washington and finished 37-45 in both seasons.
But that was merely a footnote on this stirring night, the last time the basketball public was treated to one of the greatest athletes in history playing the game one last time.
Jordan finished his career with 32,292 points -- the third-highest total in league history, behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Karl Malone. His final career average of 30.12 goes down as the best in NBA history, just ahead of Wilt Chamberlain's 30.07.
``I never, never took the game for granted. I was very true to the game, and the game was very true to me. It was just that simple,'' Jordan said.
With the Sixers ahead by 21 points with 9 1/2 minutes remaining, the crowd began chanting ``We want Mike.'' The chant grew louder as the period progressed with Jordan remaining seated, and fans ignored the game to stand and stare at the Wizards' bench, wondering why Jordan wasn't playing.
This being Philadelphia, they eventually booed.
Jordan finally pulled his warmups off and re-entered the game with 2:35 left for his brief final appearance.
``I played here. I told him I at least have to be able to come back (to Philadelphia),'' Wizards coach Doug Collins said. ``I told him to go back in for a minute. He said, 'I'm stiff.' I said, 'Please. They want to see you.' He said, 'Larry Hughes is going to foul out soon, so put me in then.'''
Earlier in the game, Jordan showed his age.
There was a play in the first quarter when he looked like the Jordan of old, except for the result. Starting near the foul line, Jordan ducked his shoulder, lowered his head, stuck out his tongue and drove to his right, the ball rolling off his fingers ever so softly as it arched toward the net.
Rather than going in, though, the ball hit the front rim and missed -- one of several of his shots that came up a few inches short.
One of the exceptions was Jordan's final shot of the first half -- a one-handed dunk that came after he received a nice pass under the basket from Bobby Simmons.
Jordan hit his first two shots of the third quarter but didn't do much else positive in the period. On an alley-oop pass from Tyronn Lue, the ball hit him in the fingertips and bounced harmlessly away. A lazy crosscourt pass was picked off by Aaron McKie, leading to one of Philadelphia's 31 fast-break points. Jordan's final field-goal attempt was a missed layup with 8:13 remaining.
``I'm not embarrassed,'' Jordan said, ``but it's just not ... I've had better feelings in terms of playing a competitive game.''
The standing ovation that Jordan received lasted about three minutes, with Jordan smiling, nodding and chewing gum throughout. The group Boyz II Men sang ``It's So Hard To Say Goodbye'' between the first and second quarters as a montage of Jordan's career highlights was shown on the scoreboard.
