KUCHING: The Martial Arts Challenge hoped to attract the people to spent their time in a beneficial way, especially to avoid the younger generations from being involved in social problems during the school holidays, said Assistant Minister of Housing and Youth Development, Datuk Haji Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
“This championship is a good avenue to nurture unity among the various martial art groups participating at the event,” Abdul Karim said when officiating at the state level Martial Arts Challenge at the multi-purpose hall of the Youth and Sports Complexs at Jalan Tun Ahmad Zaidi Adruce, here, yesterday morning.
Practising martial arts is good to instill the spirit of discipline within the younger generation so that they would not make use of the arts in a harmful way unless for self defence and helping others, he added.
He said the championship would also help to preserve the local cultures and heritage of self-defence with the participation of many groups from the various younger generations.
