KUALA LUMPUR: The Paralympic Council of Malaysia (PCM) and National Sports Council (NSC) have reiterated a similar stance in stating that the national contingent are targeting 35 medals, regardless of the colour, for the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Para Games in China.
PCM president Datuk Megat D Shahriman Zaharudin said the low target, despite the 68 medals garnered at the 2018 edition in Jakarta-Palembang, was made based on several factors, including the fact that of the 113 athletes bound for Huangzhou, 54 are new faces who will be making their debut.
