Tidings
from President of Royal Sungei Ujong Club
Let me start by wishing
all my Muslim brothers and sisters a “Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri”. Hari
Raya Puasa or Aidil Fitri or Eid al-Fitr (in Arabic
which means "festival
of breaking of the fast")
is an important religious holiday
celebrated by all Muslims
marking the end of Ramadan,
the Islamic
holy month of fasting.
The auspicious Aidil Fitri is to celebrate the conclusion of dawn-to-sunset
fasting during the entire month of Ramadan.
Aidil Fitri falls on the first day of
the month of Shawwal.
On this day Muslims around the world show a common goal of unity. On this feliticious
occasion, let us unite in the spirit of camaraderie and friendship !
“Melentur Aur Biar
dari Rebungnya” is a traditional Malay proverb translated to mean “to bend a bamboo, it is better to start from
its shoot”. In order to nurture, cultivate and instill great skills and/or
values in a person, start them early. Understanding the notable truth to this
proverb, the RSUC-AZAM DAUD U-13 FOOTBALL 9’s CHALLENGE TROPHY 2013 has been
developed to reach out to our future players
and inculcate the value of appreciating sports (and in this case,
football) as part of their culture. Sports like good
character must be inculcated from young. Good sportsmanship is not just about winning
or losing but it is about the ability to accept the results as it is.
Therefore, a great honour and
privilege for the Royal Sungei Ujong Club to host the RSUC-AZAM
DAUD U-13 FOOTBALL 9’s CHALLENGE TROPHY 2013 on the
17th of August 2013 (Saturday) at Rahang Square, Seremban,
Negeri Sembilan. I understand that there are 16 teams participating in the
tournament. The objective the tournament is to expose RSUC members’ children to
more competitive football and to unearth potential talented young footballers
in our Club. It is a fantastic effort to promote youth development for the
Football Section. This is the brainchild
of the organising committee, namely Mr. Low Her Huat (the football captain),
Tony Chia (General Committee in charge of House and Grounds), Mr. Steven Loo Chairman),
Mr Ramesh, Mr. Saravanan Sannasi (our Sports Chairman) and Encik Azam Bin Daud.
Therefore, as the President of the Club and on behalf
of all the members of the Club, I must extend our heartiest compliments and
gratitude to the organizing committee of this tournament for a stellar job. A lot of preparatory and assiduous work have
gone into organising an extensive tournament like this. I am sure that this
tournament will be another runaway success. On behalf of the Club, let me bid
all our visitors (participants and officials) to the RSUC a very warm welcome.
I wish all of you “All the best !”. As the old adage goes
: “May the best teams win”. It is my hope that the spirit of clubbing i.e,
fellowship and good fun shall prevail rather than just the spirit of winning. Most
importantly, we hope to discover our very own “David Beckham” of RSUC !
Let me end by quoting Bob Cousy, “Sports gives your life structure, discipline, and a
pure fulfillment that few other areas of endeavor provide”.
See you at the club
!
