​The need to build sport infrastructure and organise annual sport tourism events were raised during the 21st Legislative Council (LegCo) session yesterday.

LegCo member Yang Berhormat Mohammad bin Abdullah @ Lim Swee Ann posed a question to Minister of Culture, Youth and Sports Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Nazmi bin Haji Mohamad if the ministry has plans to build international-class sports infrastructure in each district as preparation for the country to organise sports at the regional or international level.

Meanwhile, LegCo member Yang Berhormat Chong Chin Yee sought a response from Yang Berhormat Dato Seri Setia Awang Haji Nazmi if the ministry intends to organise an annual sports tourism event, such as a marathon or a cycling race at the Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien Bridge to capitalise on its status as the longest bridge in Southeast Asia and to promote Brunei Darussalam as a major international sports tourism destination, particularly during the December Festival.
