PUTRAJAYA - Communications and Multimedia Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa has described the National Sports Day (HSN) as the best platform for teaching and strengthening the spirit of unity among the multi-racial people in line with the aspirations of the Malaysian Family.

He said the Communications and Multimedia Ministry is responsible for nurturing the soul and spirit of the Malaysian Family, which values solidarity and unity.

“There is nothing better than sports that can strengthen racial ties and boost the spirit of patriotism. Sports activities are important in making the Malaysian Family philosophy a success,” he said after launching the ministry-level HSN 2021 here today.

At the same time, Annuar said HSN 2021 will bring back the cheer and help improve productivity, which was dampened by the Covid-19 pandemic.

He said the pandemic had restricted sports activities last year and this year, HSN could be celebrated as the country is on the road to recovery.

Annuar added that his ministry will cooperate with KBS to ensure the success of HSN 2021 by screening videos and photographs of people throughout the country especially in the rural areas participating in sports activities to promote the sporting culture. – Bernama, October 9, 2021
