Silat bukan sekadar sukan, wadah bentuk jati diri belia – Menteri

Menteri Belia dan Sukan nyatakan silat sebagai wadah pembentukan jati diri belia, bukan hanya untuk sukan atau pertahanan diri.

SUNGAI PETANI: Penglibatan golongan belia dalam seni silat bukan sekadar aktiviti sukan atau untuk mempertahankan diri, tetapi juga menjadi wadah dalam pembentukan jati diri mereka.

Menteri Belia dan Sukan Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari berkata selaras dengan peranannya, silat wajar diangkat martabatnya sehingga ke peringkat tertinggi.

“Kita lihat bagaimana silat ini menjadi wadah menyatupadukan kita semua… untuk membentuk jati diri anak muda itu sendiri,“ katanya.

Beliau menambah silat bukan sahaja sekadar sukan atau seni mempertahankan diri tetapi sebenarnya lebih daripada itu.

“Sebab itu bagi saya penting untuk kita mengangkat martabat silat ke peringkat lebih tinggi,“ ujarnya.

Beliau berkata demikian selepas merasmikan Program Kejuaraan Silat Piala Pendekar Utama Negara Datuk Dr Raja Abdul Majid Terbuka Peringkat Kebangsaan 2025/2026 di sini.

Program kejuaraan bertemakan “Gema Pahlawan MADANI” itu melibatkan hampir 2,000 peserta.

Mohammed Taufiq berkata kementeriannya juga bersedia untuk mengadakan pertemuan dan berbincang dengan semua persatuan silat bagi merangka hala tuju seni warisan itu.

“Kita akan melihat usaha yang dapat diambil bagi melahirkan lebih ramai atlet silat,“ katanya.

Beliau menyatakan atlet itu bukan sahaja akan mewakili negeri, tetapi yang lebih penting melangkah ke peringkat kebangsaan dan antarabangsa.
