Known as ‘RP Selatra’, the Republic Polytechnic Silat Group comprises members who are keen to preserve and develop the ancient art forms of Silat, ‘Seni (Artistic)’ and ‘Tanding (Sparring)’.

Under the tutelage of Mr Ismail Bin Ishak and Mr Muhammad Nurfahmy Bin Fareed, the team has progressed in performance standards and achieved awards at various competitions. In 2019, RP Selatra clinched fourteen Gold, three Silver and four Bronze medals as well as clinched the Best Male and Female Athlete titles and emerged as Overall Champions for the Tertiary Silat Competition.

With an aim to increase the technique of members in both Seni and Tanding, the interest group hosts their annual Selatra Open Championships for current students and alumni alike.

Continuing their zest to promote this traditional and time-honoured martial art form, RP Selatra has participated in various outreach platforms, sharing their craft with the larger community.
