International Sporting Events Help Boost Sports Tourism In
Malaysia.
KUALA LUMPUR - Successful international sporting events
undoubtedly lead Malaysia towards development in the sports tourism sector,
said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin. He said such events not
only benefited one area of economy, but it also drives investment in other
sectors such as hospitality, retail, trade and industries.
"In such international events like the Maybank
Malaysian Open Golf Championship, it is a chance for Malaysia to show the world
that we have the facilities and expertise to organise world class events,"
he said in his speech at the Maybank Malaysian Open Golf Championship 2013
prize giving ceremony at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club, here, Sunday.
Meanwhile, Muhyiddin noted that the initiative by Maybank
and Malaysia Golf Association (MGA) to develop the talent of young people and
teach them skills that needed to succeed are vital in ensuring our country continues
to be on the world stage.
He also congratulated Thailand's rising star Kiradech
Aphibarnrat who won the Maybank Malaysian Open 2013 title today and also
Malaysia's top ranked amateur Gavin Kyle Green who finished as the best
Malaysian player.
