“In 2019, I understand that Putatan only won four gold medals in addition to silvers and bronze. So this time we are aiming to achieve more than five gold medals.

“There are several events that Putatan are considered favourite such as pencak silat, petanque, basketball, archery and hockey,” he said when officiating the flag handing over ceremony held in Putatan on Tuesday.

When it comes to skincare, the first thought on our minds would be beauty products such as serums, creams, and masks. However, beauty experts and even researchers have stated that drinking more water can be just as crucial for your skin's health.
He also announced incentives will be offered to those who performed well in the competition and they will receive them only after the games.

The Minister also urged the athletes to display high sportsmanship in addition to good discipline and teamwork throughout the games.
