BINTULU: Bintulu has the potential to become the centre of international dart sports events following its success as a venue for the Muaythai and Sepak Takraw events in the XXI Malaysia Games (SUKMA) recently.
Jepak assemblyman Iskandar Turkee, said this success provided a solid foundation for Bintulu to develop into a dart sports hub in the future.
He also believes that Bintulu’s success in attracting participants from all over Malaysia, including Sabah, Kuala Lumpur, and Brunei, was a positive sign.
“This competition proves that Bintulu is able to attract participation not only from all over Malaysia, including Sabah and Kuala Lumpur, but participation from Brunei also brightens this event,” he said.
Iskandar said this while speaking at the closing ceremony of the 2024 Bintulu Open Darts Competition at one of the famous hotels, here on Sunday night.
The competition, organised by Kampung Baru Sports and Recreation Club in collaboration with Ezy Darters Bintulu, saw the participation of 120 teams from Brunei Darussalam, Labuan, Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak.
He hoped that local dart clubs and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) would cooperate in organising bigger dart competitions in the future.
