‘Grassroots sports and cultural arts need empowering’

BERA: Grassroots community sports and cultural arts programmes need to be promoted and empowered to ensure that the people are not forgotten as these activities can become tourist attractions that also help boost income.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said grassroots sports such as gasing, galah panjang, ceper, timbang bola are part of the Malaysian identity and should not be forgotten, especially by the younger generation who have become engrossed in video gaming.
