SILAT DEVELOPS STRONG IDENTITY, SAYS MUHAMMAD

KUALA LUMPUR, June 18 (Bernama) -- National Silat Federation President Tan Sri Muhammad Muhammad Taib said tonight the Malay traditional martial arts form of silat could help build an individual's sense of tradition, ethics and values.

"Through the theory and practice of silat, a strong sense of sportmanship as well as a high level of discipline is developed.

"This means that the Malays can forge forward into the international arena in more ways than one," he said at a dinner of the Seni Silat Cekak Association of Malaysia.
