The Sarawak Government is now giving permission to its Malaysian Games #Sukma athletes to resume training although team or contact sports are still prohibited in the state for the general public due to Covid-19. Our Sukma athletes can now start training including those involved in group sports such as #football #swimming and #rugby . Even though team sports were still not permitted at the moment, the Ministry of Youth and Sports Sarawak #MYSS had decided to allow Sukma athletes to start training to ensure that they will be ready for the games which was postponed from July 2020 to March 2021 in Johor.
I have informed our #Media friends that for #swimming the State Sports Corporation #SSC will only allow our athletes can use the aquatic centre for training even though it is still closed to the public.
This is for our preparation for Sukma and I am monitoring this sport. In the next week or two, I will be meeting with all coaches, associations and sports development officers to get the latest updates on their preparation and ahletes' training. But I have also stressed that the locals that they are still not allowed to engage in team sports as instructed by the Federal government.
I have given instructions that the use of stadiums, sports centres where team sports can be organised are not allowed. We are still following the directive from the federal government and recently the State Disaster Management Committee #SDMC chairman Datuk Amar Douglas Uggah had told a press conference on June 10 that that the committee would decide on June 17 on the reopening of more sectors and activities, including sports, under the Recovery Movement Control Order #RMCO #PKPP which came into effect today.
