KUALA PERLIS - Kuala Perlis is set to be developed into a motorsports hub and extreme sports tourism destination, said its assemblyman Abu Bakar Hamzah.

He said this effort was in line with the government's aspiration, through the Ministry of Youth and Sports, to encourage the involevment of youth in sports..

"We invite any organisers who are interested to choose Kuala Perlis as the venue for motorsports events to engage with us, because we want to attract more visitors here and subsequently be able to generate additional income for the local residents who are mostly fishermen,” he said..

Abu Bakar said the state government is also ready to hold talks with any party interested and will provide a venue to facilitate the organisers.

He added that the response from the organisers was very encouraging following the success of the 4X4 tournament in Pulau Ketam on Feb 4, which will be followed by a motocross event next month.
