Youth and Sports Minister Erick Thohir is preparing financial literacy mentoring activities for athletes of the Indonesian National Paralympic Committee (NPC) to help them plan a more prosperous future until retirement.
"We will also provide financial literacy support so these athletes can save and pursue other activities for their future," said Erick Thohir during his visit to the Indonesian Paralympic Training Center in Karanganyar, Central Java, according to an official statement from the Ministry of Youth and Sports quoted in Jakarta on Saturday.
He said many disabled athletes would receive bonuses from the government after achieving brilliant achievements at the 2025 ASEAN Para Games.
In the largest multi-sport event for disabled athletes in Southeast Asia, Indonesia brought home 392 medals consisting of 135 gold, 143 silver, and 114 bronze.
Although he did not mention the bonus amount for each medal winner, the Minister of Youth and Sports said that the athletes would receive a fantastic bonus.
