BENTONG: The battle for the Pelangai state seat will see a duel among “fighters” who know a thing or two about silat.
Barisan Nasional candidate Datuk Amizar Abu Adam, who learned silat in Pelangai here, faces Perikatan Nasional candidate Kasim Samat, who is the chairman of the Pahang chapter of the National Malaysian Silat Gayong Association .Bentong district PSSGMK chairman Ahmad Tajuddin Othman said silat was very popular in Pelangai, with more then 2,000 students attending classes every weekend in five courts here.
“Demand is so high that there are parents who have asked for private lessons like tuition classes at home, but we can’t accept them because we don’t have enough trainers. Ahmad Tajuddin, 55, who has been practising the art of silat for 38 years, aspires for every village in Pelangai and Bentong district to have at least one silat court.“We also hope that the government will continue to help all silat associations throughout the country because we do not have a large source of income and need financial assistance,” he said.
Meanwhile, Norarisan Ahmad, 45, the mother of a silat student, said she sent her 12-year-old son to learn self-defence because she wanted him to increase his self-confidence.
