A brief history of Paragliders Malaysia
Background
Paragliders Malaysia was established in 2014 as a not-for-profit social enterprise with the goal to develop and create an equitable access to paragliding sport for youths especially the ones from less fortunate economic background.
PGMY is a social enterprise, means that we reinvest our profits from business transactions back to the community through sponsorship on equipment, development of sports facilities et cetera. We aim to create an economically sustainable ecosystem for the youths in paragliding community. In addition, we are working closely with national paragliding clubs and associations to propel Malaysia’s participations in international paragliding championships for the medals and to wave the country’s flag on the podiums.
PGMY was founded by Yusmar Yahaya and received continuous supports by likeminded paragliding pilots with common interests and goals, locally and internationally.
You can reach us at info@paragliding.my or yusmar@paragliders.my for any enquiries.
Social Media
We’re active on social media platforms for discussions at Facebook Group and you are invited to join the group where we openly share event happenings, trip planning or any other flying related matters. Our Facebook group is at : https://facebook.com/groups/paraglidersmalaysia
Moving Forward
Technology is undoubtedly a proven tool as the catalyst for brand equity, it’s the most efficient way to reach our audience in closing the gaps between pilots and likeminded enthusiasts locally or internationally. From time to time, we will be incorporating and experimenting with emerging technologies and tools by integrating them into this website or operating independently such as a mobile app for iPhone and Android.
