MIRI: State Transport Minister Datuk Sri Lee Kim Shin is hoping to see more people in the division taking up leisure and sports activities to improve their health and well-being.
Speaking at the launching of the Miri-level Sarawak X-Tive 2022 at here on Saturday, he called on the people to therefore take an active approach given the physical and mental benefits of sports activities.
“Communities that participate in sports develop strong social bonds among one another, apart from building communities who are fit,” he said, adding, “as we approach the year 2030, we need communities that are fit to achieve a high-income and develop the State’s status.”
