Sepak Takraw for Unity
Hannah Yeoh Tseow Suan, Segambut — The Minister of Youth and Sports announced the introduction of sepak takraw classes in SJK(C) and SJK(T) schools. This initiative, supported by the community sports fund, aims to use sports as a tool for national unity. The goal is to encourage Chinese and Indian students to learn sepak takraw, a sport predominantly played by the Malay community in the masters category. Sports associations will collaborate with the Ministry to implement these classes.
Saya bagi contoh untuk sepak takraw, kita telah perkenalkan kelas sepak takraw di mana persatuan bekerjasama dengan KBS, membawa masuk kelas-kelas sepak takraw ke dalam Sekolah Jenis Kebangsaan Cina dan SJK(T) untuk menggalakkan pelajar Cina dan pelajar India belajar sukan sepak takraw kerana mengikut data kita, sukan sepak takraw dalam golongan masters ya, 40 tahun ke atas, memang 100 peratus masyarakat Melayu yang main sepak takraw dalam penglibatan sukan masters.
This program offers SJK(T) students new opportunities to engage in a traditional Malaysian sport, potentially fostering greater inter-ethnic understanding and participation.
