KUDAT, June 29 (Bernama) -- Youths in the country must unveil their talent in sports to boost the country's image globally said Umno Puteri chief Datuk Rosnah Abdul Rashid Shirlin.
Rosnah said since the government had already set the path and direction for the youths to develop their talent in sports, youths must seize the opportunity to unveil their talent so that the country will have a large number of talented athletes.
"Sports is one area identified for development by the government to provide opportunities, not only as an athlete but an avenue to seek a career in the field.
"Sports is now considered an important medium for the youths to generate good income," she said after presenting prizes at a Zone 1 Umno Puteri Futsal match here Monday.
Rosnah who is also the deputy Health Minister said youths of today must learn how to turn sports into a viable career and one that can give them an opportunity to hoist the pride of the country.
"I hope the youths, including Puteri UMNO, can accept the challenge and start laying the foundation for success early," she said.
