SENIOR
OF PARTICIPATION IN SPORTS
MINISTER:
AMONG THE PEOPLE.
Outdoor Sports

The Department of Youth and Sports is responsible for ensuring that the culture of Co-

sports is applied to become the practice of people's lives through the Sports for Curricular

All Action Plan. The Ministry of Education is responsible for fostering students' Activities
interest in engaging in sports activities.

Therefore, the Ministry of Education needs to provide sufficient opportunities for

the teaching and learning process of physical education for all school students.

Education is increasingly important and necessary in our lives today. The National

Education Philosophy has explained that all students have five important

components which are intellectual, physical, emotional, spiritual and social. The

extent to which adolescents engage in physical activity is of great importance to

health and education professionals. Physical activity is part of a healthy lifestyle

and can also provide many benefits including reducing the risk of overweight

and obesity. Furthermore, physical activity will benefit the academic achievement of

teenagers. Physical activity has been proven to increase students' concentration

levels and to have a positive effect on children's academic achievement,

academic readiness and perception skills. It should be noted that many young

people do not do enough physical activity and lose the benefits they deserve.

Next, the Ministry of Education Today, the academic achievement of students is very important for their
also needs to develop and future. Active involvement in physical activities can help students to continue
coordinate sports activities at learning to a higher level or higher education. The Ministry of Youth and Sports

sports to teach according to the the types of sports that can be participated in and encourage students to try

the foundation for children's
development which includes
several elements such as mental
and physical development.

In addition, sports education emphasizes teaching skills, strategies
and knowledge about sports and physical fitness activities. In the
context of teaching physical education at school, teachers need to
be prepared to teach about physical education and sports. For
example, the 1 Student 1 Sports policy, which is a policy to restore
the excellence of school sports throughout the country with the
comprehensive participation of all students in sports activities to
develop fit human capital. Every student is required to participate
in at least 1 sports activity at school throughout the year. This
policy is in line with the National Sports Policy to cultivate sports
among the community through two strategies namely Sports for
All and Sports for Excellence.

However, in order to implement this policy, the teachers also need
to be given attention because they are also the ones who will
impart knowledge related to a sport chosen by each teacher and
student. The subject of Physical Education should be given
attention because this subject is one of the foundations for the
students' level of understanding and awareness of the value and
spirit of sportsmanship. This attention should be emphasized not
only for the students but also requires the involvement of parents.
This is because, student involvement in any school activity is
greatly influenced by the role of the student's parents. In addition,
teachers play an important role in fostering students' interest and
awareness of the importance of Physical Education. Therefore, the
basic concept of effective Physical Education needs to be
understood by every party involved, namely teachers, students
and parents so that the level of awareness of this subject can be
increased.

This culture can be put into practice In addition, the Ministry of Higher Education needs to increase its role to
by holding annual tournaments such cultivate sports among students of Higher Education Institutions and every

How Sports are

Sports promotion and education for the community should be managed by PROCESSED
various organizations involved in the development of national sports with OVER
mass media cooperation.
Sports media need to allocate a wider space for news reporting local sports. Social Media
The Departmentof Youth and Sports needs to provide expert energy for
development participants, coaches, administrators and sports officials for the
Sports Program For All.

The Ministry of Education needs to strengthen the school curriculum so that
basic sports such as gymnastics, athletics and aquatics are given priority in
physical education syllabus at all school levels.
The ministry also needs to establish a mechanism to assess the level physical
achievement of school students at all levels; and
The Ministry of Higher Education should make sports activities as an
academic discipline in a Higher Education Institution.

For Example, KBS targets the involvement of 2.5 million people
in sports and recreation activities in conjunction with HSN2021
across the country with families, children, women, youth,
disabled people (OKU) and the elderly as the target group as
well as three more programs planned by KBS are 'HSN21 Virtual
Run', 'HSN21 Fitness Challenge' and 'HSN21 Fit and Active Family'
which also have their own appeal. (harian, 2022)

Sports can indirectly encourage the building of physical and moral qualities of
the people that are in line with national aspirations and create an environment Sports
that fosters better community relations in the various ethnic groups in the
country. Additionally, improving community health and productivity levels can
prevent juvenile delinquency with beneficial leisure time opportunities.

Wider participation in sports activities can be implemented by establishing more
foundations that are active in the sports industry. The promotion of foundation
establishment should be supported by tax exemption on contributions given to
the foundation. The established foundation should focus on reviving the sports
culture at the grassroots level such as at the school level, developing local club
programs continuously and nurturing young athletes with high potential. A multi-
racial country needs efforts to foster racial unity in order to build a harmonious
country. Measures to strengthen unity among the various races in Malaysia are
very important to prevent the occurrence of inter-racial riots. Therefore, with the
establishment of a foundation that focuses on sports will involve a diversity of
races from various age levels and this should be celebrated and as Malaysians,
mutual help between races should be practiced living together in a healthy and
peaceful living environment.

Next, improve the implementation Sports bodies in the public and private sectors should encourage and

In addition, establish a research and development

achieving the objectives of this Policy. The
establishment of the intended research unit is on

and accessibility to sports facilities is the main

5. PROVIDE SPORT FACILITIES

TO MEET THE NEEDS AT ALL

LEVELS.

Sports facilities are enclosed areas of sports pavilions, stadiums, gymnasiums,
spas, boxing arenas, swimming pools, roller skating rinks, ice rinks, billiard halls,
bowling alleys, and other similar places where members of the public gather to
engage in physical activity or participate in athletic competition. Sports facilities
may include training centres, gymnasiums, stadiums, sports associations and
even universities. Various activities, tournaments and training sessions can take
place in them. All these events use a variety of equipment, which makes
monitoring and maintenance much more difficult.

In Malaysia, sports and the development of sports facilities have increased
rapidly over the past decade. The increase in the amount of public money
being spent on sports facilities, and at the same time, the increase in the
number of sports facilities in Malaysia necessitate an investigation into the
issues surrounding the development of sports facilities. In the recent global
trend, sports facilities are considered by migration of such facilities back to
the urban core and have considerable social and economic influence in
contemporary society. Sports facilities have changed through the years from
functional facilities, adapted facilities, and state-of-the-art facilities to the
centre of business and regenerating area facilities.

There is a current sports facilities construction boom
universally. These facilities are for hosting sports mega-
events, such as Olympic Games, and Commonwealth
Games, or for smaller-scale activities. There is a wide range
of positive and negative impacts that sports facilities
construction has on their surrounding areas and wider cities.
For example, all preparations in terms of facilities for Sukma
2022 are carried out well. All the facilities have been
thoroughly checked to prevent any accidents from
happening. Several facilities have been selected by the
organization to be the venue for the Sukma 2022 match in
Kuala Lumpur.

PRACTICES. All

In recent years, governance has become a popular topic of discussion. In its HIGH
broad meaning, governance is the exercise of power in the management of an PERFORMANCES
organization. Though governance involves such concepts as responsibility, rules
and policies, communication, and transparency, the central component of Sports
governance is decision-making.

As noted by Blanco, sports governance can be defined as ‘an act of
manoeuvring, facilitating, and mobilizing the pool of talents, resources,
approaches, and processes in a much broader, fuller, and wider continuum of
sports actors, agents, and stakeholders across various sectors of society; and it
presupposes the interplay of the policy-makers and policy-implementers of the
sporting world for determination of the achievement of excellence in sports not
just on an individual or local basis but also on a collective and national level.

Ministry and DOSM met on Aug 2 to see how they can use data to help
promote the sports industry. The upcoming expo will be the Youth and
Sports Ministry’s main platform to unveil the impact and contributions of
the sports industry towards Malaysia’s economic, as well as its socio-
economic development.

According to the organizer, close to 100,000 people are expected
to attend the expo. A host of sporting activities, from futsal,
cycling, to aerobics, will be held during the exposition. An eSports
carnival and a mini-concert featuring local acts will also be held.
The event will be segmentized based on a sports industry
exhibition, offering the latest technology in the world of sports, a
sales carnival, and job opportunities in the sporting ecosystem.
The total sum that will be spent on the expo remains unclear.
More importantly, there should be a follow-through, to ensure
those who helm Menara KBS after the upcoming general election
will continue the sports industry ‘fight’. Otherwise, the expo and
other related initiatives, including the Sports Satellite Account, will
be nothing but a waste of public funds, and time.
