Members of the West Nusa Tenggara Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD NTB) are actively addressing the community's demand for improved sports facilities in Mataram. Commission V member Made Slamet recently engaged with local youth, students, and residents to understand their needs.
Yesterday, when I visited SMA 11 Mataram, there were many aspirations from students who needed complete sports facilities.
During a visit to SMA 11 Mataram, Slamet heard firsthand accounts from students about the urgent requirement for comprehensive sports facilities within their school. He acknowledged that many existing sports amenities are inadequate and lack proper representation, both in residential areas and educational institutions.
Made Slamet recognized that while the government faces budget limitations, the community often steps in to fund facility development. He emphasized that these sports facilities are crucial for channeling the creativity and hobbies of young people, steering them away from detrimental activities.
Of course, we will help through the main thoughts (pokir) program available to council members to assist the community and the government in building adequate sports facilities.
