Let’s play basketballBy Y.P. SIVAM Friday May 1, 2009
Local councils have been urged to build basketball courts for the Under-12 age group.
Deputy Higher Education Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah made the call at the first leg of the AND1 Streetball Challenge at the Summit USJ recently.
“Basketball is an interesting sport. I am very happy to be among the youngsters, who have gathered for the Challenge. Unfortunately, there is only one court for the Under-12 age group in the country. Unless and until we have basketball courts for this age group, it will not be possible for Malaysians to excel in the game.
“So we request local councils to build one basketball court, catering for the Under-12 age group, in each district. Then we will have a bigger group of young boys and girls active in the game. I was also informed that 369 teams had signed up for the event. It is a good day for basketball,’’ said Saifuddin.
He also commended the organisers — Ossia World of Golf — for initiating the Challenge, which brought together youngsters for a an exciting time.
