By Lyna Mohamad

Bandar Seri Begawan - Participants of the 4th Islamic Solidarity Sports Federation (ISSF) Sports Medicine and Anti-Doping (SMAD) Course are urged to put their knowledge to good use by offering their services at the 1st Islamic Solidarity Games to be held in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia next year.

Dr Mohammad S. Gazdar, Secretary-General of ISSF, said this at the closing ceremony for the course yesterday.

He added that participants should take this opportunity to share their knowledge with others through the presentation of research papers, allocation of more practical sessions and even the possible creation of an ISSF scholarship programme, a quadrennial scientific congress or an international ISSF award.

Awg Japar Bangkol, Chairman of the Organising Committee of the 4th ISSF Sports Medicine Course, said that the course, which is the first of its kind to be organised in the country, marked a milestone on the long road of attainment and accomplishments that Brunei embarked on many years ago.

Since then, the nation has accomplished its mission of promoting sports medicine not only here, but regionally and internationally as well.

A total of 70 delegates from over 20 English and Arabic speaking countries attended the course, which was being held for the first time in Southeast Asia. It provided an ideal platform for participants to establish closer bonds of friendship and Islamic brotherhood for future interaction.

Awg Japar Bangkol applauded Dr Mohammad S. Gazdar and his able team for championing the mission of education and youth development in Islamic countries by promoting sports and sports science.

He expressed confidence that under the dynamic and vibrant leadership of HRH Prince Sultan bin Fahad bin Abdul Aziz, Chairman of the Federation, more feats will be conquered and more avenues of broader interaction will surface. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
