MELAKA: Old boys and girls of Melaka High School are eager to revive sports excellence in the state when they gather for their golden jubilee reunion at a leading hotel here on May 18.), said all of them, who are now in their 70s, hope for a memorable gathering and also to look into ways of promoting field sports activities like in the good old days.
Tay noted that the decline of sports in the state was not due to the lack of spirit and commitment among the youth but rather the lack of proper sporting facilities to nurture budding athletes. For Melaka, Tay said the decline in outdoor sports was impacted by the absence of playing fields such as the Malacca Club and Bandar Hilir Padang, which had discouraged the youth from playing games such as hockey, cricket, football as well as rugby.
"The absence of competitive inter-club games in the state added to the declining popularity of such sports," he said.He said the majority of the legendary sportsmen hailed from the traditional villages of Kampung Banda Kaba and Banda Hilir, both a stone’s throw from the Malacca Club.
