The Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) and the National Sports Council (NSC) are reviewing the salaries of coaches with the intent of increasing the amount they are paid. This review applies to all coaches who are employed under the National Coaches<\/a> Employment Scheme since 1 January.<\/p>\n The KBS had directed the NSC to review these salaries back in November 2023. Youth and Sports minister Hannah Yeoh said that the review is to ensure that there is a future for the sports ecosystem in Malaysia. The last time these salaries were reviewed was 10 years ago.<\/p>\n According to the new salary scheme, coaches at the highest level qualification will see their salaries increase by about RM1,400; going up to RM5,400 a month. All other coaches will receive an increment based on their years of experience in coaching.<\/p>\n Additional remuneration will be included for former athletes turned coaches based on their highest level of achievement when they represented the country. A move that is intended to encourage more national athletes to return to the sport as coaches.<\/p>\n
