Selayang City CouncilorYu Shen’enA reporter from Metropolis Community News today pointed out that the above-mentioned covered basketball court is also the first covered public basketball court in Selayang District.
He said that the covered basketball court was built in August this year with funding from the Ministry of Housing and Local Government. The ministry allocated a total of RM450,000 this time to build a covered basketball court, a 550-meter-long walking path around the grass field, and outdoor fitness facilities.
He said that the covered basketball court has the function of sheltering from the sun and rain, and can provide a more comfortable and good playing environment.
He pointed out that since many children would go to the local area to play basketball in the evening, the community did have related needs.
“The construction of the covered basketball court is 98% complete and is currently waiting to be connected to the power supply.”
Yu Shen’en: Proper arrangements will be made for the use of basketball courts
At the same time, Yu Shen’en also admitted that before the stadium was fully completed, some people could not wait to break in and use it, which caused certain difficulties in the completion of the project, including some people riding bicycles into the stadium, causing minor damage.
In any case, he said that the covered basketball court is expected to be completed in mid-January next year and will be open to the public after completion.
He also revealed that before the covered basketball court was officially opened for use, some people had already taken the initiative to approach it, hoping to use the venue as a training base.
He pointed out that since there is basically a lack of covered basketball courts of this size in the Selayang area, some famous nearby teams, state-level and county-level basketball players have contacted him and informed him of their interest in using the court as a training venue.
“I informed at the time that arrangements would be made. After the covered basketball court is opened for use, I believe everyone can share this public resource according to the schedule.”

He, who is also the chairman of the Selayang District 12 Neighborhood Committee, said that in order to test the facilities of the covered basketball court, the Selayang District 12 Neighborhood Committee and the Selangor Youth Power Committee held a men’s under-18 basketball invitational tournament at the basketball court today.
“There are six teams participating in today’s competition. The champion will receive RM1,000, the runner-up will receive RM800, the third runner-up will receive RM500, and the third runner-up will receive RM250.”
He pointed out that it is said that this game is also the first basketball game in Selayang District in the past 10 years.
He said that more games will continue to be held at the basketball court to provide players with a platform to display their strength.
