There are a lot talks in town that Kelab Sukan Komuniti (KSK) will be dying off since there is no more yearly allocation from Kementerian Belia dan Sukan [Ministry of Youth and Sports]. It is true, since Y.B. Datuk Seri Azlina transfered to Tourism Ministry, Y.B. Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri do not seems interested on community sports. Kelab Sukan Komuniti [Community Sports Club] is the brainchild of Y.B. Datuk Seri Azlina to promote fitness and racial unity among Malaysians.
Weekend Cycling
RM43,800 was allocated to each KSK nation wide for the past 2 years to organise Liga Sukan Komuniti [Community Sports League]. Each KSK has to choose at least 4 sports from 8 sports as identified by the Ministry. A state level community sports carnival was carried out last year in Sri Iskandar.
As the chairman of KSK Jalong, I do not think that KSK cannot survive without the yearly grant maybe we cannot hold Liga Sukan Komuniti as it is costly. Well lets organised genuine community sports i.e. fitness and sports that can attract many people irrespective of race, age and gender.
Sepak takraw in Kompleks Sukan Komuniti Sungai Siput
KSK Jalong has organised weekly 'senamrobik' and daily sepak takraw since last year. Most of the 'senamrobik' participants are women. Early this year, KSK Jalong has formed the cycling team for weekend ride. No long ago, badminton was introduce for the members. We have plan to start the walking up hill exercise soon. Ambitious plan are in progress currently i.e. cross -country run, fun hockey and hopefully we will get some gym equipments!
Badminton - Kompleks Sukan Komuniti Sungai Siput
More out door activities should be organise i.e. hard and soft outdoor activities. Hard outdoor e.g. jungle trekking, rough cycling and endurance. Soft outdoor e.g. walking up hill, jogging, cycling, aerobic, line dancing, tai chi and light work-out. Different people has different taste. Different age group has different interest.
Not all sports need huge financial support. There are sports that do not requirement much money. KSK Jalong will always keeps its mind close to "Fitness for Healthy Living". Members and public are encourage to take part.
Well, these slogans might help - Have fun with sports, Sports for UNITY, 5 minutes a day keeps the doctor away, friendship through sports etc.
SATUKAN HATI, JATIKAN DIRI!
