PASIR SALAK: Tarik upih (palm frond sledding) and boling nyior (coconut bowling) are among the traditional games featured at the three-day Jelajah Aspirasi Keluarga Malaysia or Malaysian Family Aspiration (AKM) Tour in Perak.

Perak Tengah assistant district officer Khairul Amiran Md Nazri, who is also the head of Sukan Rakyat programme, said the idea to promote the activities was aimed at bringing the younger generation closer to people’s sports or local traditional games.
