KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 18 — The National Archery Association of Malaysia (NAAM) will cooperate with the Education Ministry to establish more archery clubs at school level.
Its president, Datuk Seri Johari Baharom said the move was aimed at producing more national archers among youths in future.
“We want to focus on archery and will call on the relevant parties to organise programmes in the form of workshops and training for youths.

The Deputy Defence Minister also said the national archery squad have the potential to deliver another two more gold medals in archery events which would be held from tomorrow to August 22. — Bernama
