KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 7): Former national para athlete Mohd Raduan Emeari, citing family commitments, had rejected a prior job offer from the National Sports Council (NSC) to assist the national squad, NSC director-general Datuk Ahmad Shapawi said.

News that the former sprinter, who competed at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games, was working at a petrol station in Kuala Selangor, had recently gone viral, causing some to question the lack of incentive or jobs for athletes post-retirement.
