Her dedication towards the sport is remarkable at this young age but without government recognition and support, young competitors face a risk of disappointment.

The PTF is encouraging young taekwondo players from all over the country, but its president Ahmad says that the support of government, coupled with sports-based investment, can go a long way in enabling young people to live healthier and productive lives.
