# Paralympic Council Looking To Sue Paralympic Champion Cheah Liek Hou Over ‘Scammer’ Claim

##### Recently, Cheah Liek Hou made headlines after slamming the Paralympic Council of Malaysia (PCM) over a RM60k reward that was allegedly unpaid for his 2024 Paris Paralympics win.

Two-time Paralympic gold medallist Cheah Liek Hou is facing possible disciplinary action after allegedly calling the Paralympic Council of Malaysia (PCM) a "scammer" on social media over claims of unpaid rewards for his 2024 Paris Paralympics gold medal win.

PCM president Datuk Seri Megat D. Shahriman Zaharudin confirmed during a press conference that a show-cause letter will be sent to Liek Hou, the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), and the National Sports Council (NSC).

According to [NST](https://www.nst.com.my/sports/badminton/2025/09/1277025/liek-hou-facing-possible-ban-outburst-against-pcm), legal action may also follow if necessary.

## May face ban

Megat said Cheah could also face a ban after the incident, adding that such actions had serious implications for the council’s reputation and its sponsors.

"If athletes face financial problems, they can contact me, and God willing, I will try to help as much as I can," he said.

> **But for the information of the media, I have discussed with the legal team and this individual has accused the PCM of being a scam organisation. This is a slanderous and irresponsible act.**

"Such postings also indirectly affect our sponsorships. Sponsors give out of goodwill, and I believe actions like this could even prompt them to seek legal advice to protect their credibility." he said.

## Reviewing next steps

Megat confirmed that PCM is currently in discussion with legal advisors over the next course of action.

"We will send a show-cause letter to BAM. We will also send one to the (Youth and Sports) ministry to review the athlete's ethical status. Following that, it could lead to a ban.

"For the record, PCM is the sole authority to register athletes for multi-sport events such as the Paralympic Games, Asian Youth Paralympic Games, Asian Para Games and Para Sea Games," he added.
