    Badminton Should Be Played From A Young Age - Rosmah


    PEKAN, Aug 8 (Bernama) -- Badminton should be played from a young age to enable the players to become future champions in the sport, the prime minister's wife, Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor, said.

    The opportunity should not only be given to boys, but also girls, she said when opening the indoor badminton championship for the Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor Cup championship here Saturday.

    A total of eight teams from the Pekan district are competing for the cup.

    Rosmah, who is the patron of the Badminton Association of Malaysia (BAM), hoped more youngsters in Pekan would take up badminton as a sport and to excel in the game.

    On the championship, which is sponsored by Nexbis Sendirian Berhad, she said it could help forge greater understanding and goodwill, as well as instill sporting spirit, among local residents towards achieving the IMalaysia objective.

    "I believe that sport is beneficial for the youth because it can bring about healthy and active lives," she added.
