KUCHING: Assistant Minister of Youth Development, Datuk Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah believed that Asajaya district can become a pool for sport champions who not only will bring pride to Sarawak but also to the nation.
His observation was based on the presence of youths from the village who excelled in sports at the school level.
“We are aware that Asajaya district is popular among the local community in football during the Raya season with the venue held at Kampung Sambir, Asajaya,” he said.
“Now many of the young people who hail from the village have achieved recognition for their involvement at higher level sports throughout the year,” he added during the Students Excellence Award 2013 ceremony at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Asajaya No.2 yesterday.
Among the students who shined out in sports was Mohd Shahril Rahim Khalid who won the Special Sport Award for representing SMK Asajaya No.2 and helped the school to become runners up in the CIMB-Cobra-KRFC School 7s Rugby Under 18 Championship 2013 recently.
“Mohd Shahril do possess the talent to reach greater heights in sport as shown by his form at the Malaysian Schools Sports Council (MSSM) championship this yeari,” said Abdul Karim who also praised other excellent athletes from the school.
