KOTA KINABALU: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor told motorcyclists that roads should not be used for racing.
The interest to race should be channelled through safe and properly organised platforms, he said.
He said this in his speech read by Education, Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk James Ratib during the ninth Sabah Youth Motoring event at the Likas Sports Complex yesterday.
He also reminded motorcyclists to ride safely and responsibly.
He advised motorcyclists to use motoring events to engage with various parties, including government agencies, and foster friendship.
He said participation in the programme had continued to increase, involving not only motoring enthusiasts from across Sabah, but also from Sarawak, Peninsular Malaysia and Brunei.
He said this development had successfully made the event a meeting point for building a wider motoring community network.
“The spirit we want to see from the motoring community is one that always prioritises discipline, respects other road users and always abides by the law,” he said.
He said the programme aimed to develop Sabah youths who are active, knowledgeable, competitive, united and free from negative influences.
“The State Government takes seriously efforts to ensure that young people have healthy and positive spaces to gather, be creative, participate in sports and develop their potential,” he added.
