Badminton Competition, Kg Pandan

On Sunday, 3rd August, the PAS Kg. Pandan branch hosted a badminton competition in Kg Pandan. The competition was sponsored by Dr Xavier, as ADUN of Sri Andalas. Hence, Dr Xavier was on hand at 5pm to give out the medals to the winners and the trophy. The organisers have ambitiously said that this competition is to be an annual event and they hoped it would grow over the years.

Dr Xavier an avid sportsman has himself won various Badminton competitions in his early years, and till today is a great supporter of the sport.

While the UMNO-BN government champions the need for sport at the high-levels of Putrajaya. We here in Andalas feel that is very important to simply get the basics right!! We must ensure that we push and maintain sporting activity at the ground level. Lets not talk about winning SEA or Olmpic Medals. We need to first and foremost push sports forward as a healthy and safe past-time for children, teens and adults alike. As the state government we have a crucial role to play in sponsoring as many sporting activities as we can. A month ago the DUN Office sponsored a Taman Sentosa football team to compete in a football competition in PJ. It is only through small experiences such as these, that the teens (children) will gain the confidence and skill, to improve the quality of sports in the country.

In the coming weeks, the Sri Andalas DUN Office is organising a 7-a-side football tournament. This tournament is open to all and is scheduled to occur during the Merdeka weekend. (We promise more details asap)
