RP Silat team, Selatra clinches 12 medals at Tertiary Silat Championship 2009

The annual Tertiary Silat Competition was held at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Sports Hall on Sunday, 14 June 2009. The senior members went through an intensive training program for the past one year, at the same time prepared the juniors for this prestigious competition.

On the competition day, the NTU sports hall rocked with thunderous cheers by various supporters from the participating institutions. The sounds of the kompang and the voices of the RP supporters motivated the team to do their best.
