Unity should be embraced beyond sports

I AM immensely inspired by the spirit demonstrated by our national athletes and Malaysian supporters at the ongoing 29th SEA Games. Last Saturday, thousands of sports enthusiasts braved the rain to witness the official opening ceremony of the Games. A significant number of Malaysians also registered as volunteers to be part of the Games from Aug 19 till Aug 30.

The nation’s contingent of 844 athletes went through intense training and it is now time to achieve their dreams in the spirit of togetherness, friendship and sportsmanship.
