NABAWAN: Support and involvement from all parties are vital in building an inclusive and prosperous society for persons with disabilities (PWD), said Nabawan Assemblyman Datuk Abdul Ghani Mohamed Yassin.
He said the PWD community should be given equal opportunities and attention, particularly in education, skills training and sports, to enable them to be independent, build confidence and realise their potential.

Abdul Ghani said this in his speech at the opening of the Keningau PWD Community-Based Rehabilitation Programme (PPDK) Games 2025/2026 here on Thursday, which was read by Nabawan Community Development Leader Deckson Anthony Andipai.
He said the organisation of such sports programmes not only benefits physical health but also helps strengthen confidence, teamwork and ties among participants, families, instructors and the local community.
At the sports carnival, Keningau PPDK emerged overall champion, followed by Tambunan PPDK as runner-up and Merampong PPDK in third place, with officials from the Welfare Department and PPDK centres in the Interior Keningau Division also in attendance.
