The Pakistan Bodybuilding Federation didn’t extend any financial help to Malik.
In an interview a couple of years back to a newspaper, Malik said it was sad that only cricketers get noticed in our country. “People like me get so many offers from all over the world, like it happened recently when I was competing in Mr Asia, but no one cares about us in our own country.”
When asked if the Pakistan Bodybuilding Federation is of any help to him, Malik responded. “They are too busy in their internal politics to think about the bodybuilders.”
