PRAY FOR OUR 17 ATHLETES' SUCCESS

Let's pray for the success of the 17 UiTM Athletes selected to represent the country at the SEA Games in Hanoi, Vietnam, from 12 to 23 May 2022. They will compete in Pétanque, Kayak, Chess, Sepak Takraw, Ten-pin Bowling, Archery, Football and Shooting. In addition to the students, three staff members are also involved as team players and coaches.

In a recent meet & greet session at the KLIA2, I met with Pétanque and Sepak Takraw athletes. Also with me is the Deputy Vice Chancellor (Student Affairs). UiTM has offered pocket money of RM3,200.00 to the athletes as a gesture of support. Suppose their return results in a medal for the country; in that case, the university will provide additional incentives to acknowledge their achievement and contribution.

Eleven athletes are from the Faculty of Recreational Sports Science; two are from the Faculty of Business Management. The rest are from the faculties of Computer Science and Mathematics, Architecture, Planning and Surveying, Plantation and Agrotechnology, and Education.

This incentive is part of UiTM's agenda to empower bumiputeras in the global arena through sports.
