RANAU: Kundasang State Assemblyman (ADUN) Datuk Seri Dr. Joachim Gunsalam, expressed his full support for the efforts of youth in organising sports activities that can strengthen bonds among them.

He emphasised the importance of continuing such activities to reinforce relationships among youth and create opportunities for sharing ideas and perspectives.

The Deputy Chief Minister made these remarks while officiating the District-level Volleyball Competition in Ranau, held at the Volleyball Court in Kampung Lobou Timbua.

He also congratulated the Organising Chairperson, Rienddy Wadin, and all parties involved in making the event a success.

A total of 14 youth teams participated in the competition from the Ranau district.

Meanwhile, the Patron and Advisor of the Youth Club, Sharin Mujin, thanked Dr. Joachim for his contributions to the competition.
