Bench marking visit to Seoul, South Korea on 11 to 14 June 2024

I am delighted with the outcomes from our ongoing bench marking visit to several locations in South Korea including to a few renowned sports venues and facilities which had also inspired our delegation members.

But I have to thank our Ministry of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development Sarawak (MYSED) for having invited me to join and to lead the delegation in this bench marking visit from 11 to 14 June. Also joining me in the 4-day visit are my two Deputy Ministers for Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development namely YB Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu and YB Datuk Dr Ripin Lamat. 

The Permanent Secretary to MYSED, Encik Morshidi Fredrik and the Secretary General to Sarawak's United National Youth Movement (SABERKAS), YB Encik Safiee Haji Ahmad are also among the delegation members.

Among the interesting locations which our delegation had visited are Korea Institute of Sports Science (KISS), Korea Sports Promotion Foundation (KSPO), Seoul Startup Hub, Seoul Sports Council and Seoul Metropolitan Government.

It was a pleasure to have met with Mr Song Kang Young, the President of Korea Institute of Sports Science who shared with us information and background on the organisation which serves as a comprehensive research platform leading the future of Korean sports. The institute is also an independent research organisation in sports development based on cutting edge science and technologies.

We also visited the famous Seoul World Cup Stadium and Gocheouk Skydome to see for ourselves the facilities there which are of high standards.
