KANGAR: National Sports Day (HSN) is the best platform to strengthen unity and solidarity through the involvement of various races and communities while promoting an active lifestyle and healthy culture, said Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Fadillah Yusof.
He said efforts to empower the people must be enhanced, especially to ensure that the younger generation remains fit and healthy in the context of Malaysia MADANI, as well as to elevate sports to a higher level.
“National Sports Day demonstrates the government’s commitment to recognising the importance of sports in shaping a fit, productive and united society. It has been made a national agenda to transform Malaysia into a sporting nation.
“Since its introduction in 2015, National Sports Day has been celebrated for almost a decade with the aim of increasing Malaysians’ active participation in sports, in line with the strategies outlined in the National Sports Vision 2030 and the Malaysia MADANI framework,” he said.
He was speaking at the launch of the Perlis-level National Sports Day 2024 celebration at the Tuanku Syed Putra Sports Complex here today. Also present was Perlis Menteri Besar Mohd Shukri Raml
