KUCHING: Sarawak Shell Bhd is promoting road safety awareness among young road users in Sarikei with its flagship Shell Traffic Games (STG), participated by 144 students from nine schools in the division.
According to a press release from Shell, the company welcomes feedback from past participants of the STG in order to improve its road safety education programme.
“We call on all past participants of the games to help us in this survey by giving us their feedback, based on their experience in participating in this programme,” Sarawak Shell Bhd’s land transport manager Matthew Emban said at the closing ceremony of the games.
He said they require data from the survey to determine the way forward for implementation of road safety awareness among the public in Sarawak.
As Sarawak’s long-term partner in progress, Shell has invested in STG to nurture road safety awareness in young minds for over half a century since 1963. STG celebrates its 50th anniversary in Sarawak this year.
“Shell is committed to working with its partners from government agencies to create greater awareness of road safety among young participants,” he said.
Among those attending the closing ceremony for the games were Sarikei Resident Michael Dawi Alli and Sarikei District Council chairman Chan Phan Chan.
SMK St Anthony was champion in the secondary school category of the games, while SMK Bandar Sarikei and SMK Tinggi Sarikei were in second and third place respectively.
In the primary school category, SK(C) Kwang Chien was champion followed by SJK(C) Su Lee and SK Agama Sarikei in second and third place respectively.
SMK St Anthony and SRJK(C) Kwang Chien will represent Sarikei Division in the state-level finals in Kuching in October this year. An average of 3,000 students are participating in the games in Sarawak every year, joining an average of over 20,000 students a year from throughout Malaysia.
STG is run in every state in Peninsular Malaysia and in every district of Sabah and in every division of Sarawak.
In Sarawak, the games have reached Mukah, Limbang, Miri, Bintulu, Sibu, Samarahan, Kapit and Betong. The divisional level games will be organised in Kuching followed by the state level finals in early October.
