KENINGAU: In a continued effort to promote youth development through sports, the football team from Kampung Tuarid, Liawan, received a new set of football jerseys, a meaningful contribution that highlights the power of sport in uniting and empowering young people.

The initiative, spearheaded by Liawan State Assemblyman Datuk Annuar Ayub Aman, was officially handed over during a brief ceremony by Liawan Wiramuda Chief Michael Tambi and Deputy Chief Richard Adin, who represented Annuar in delivering the donation.

This contribution is part of a broader push to strengthen grassroots sports development, build character and discipline among youth, and encourage healthy, active lifestyles within the community.
