Kelantan Orang Asli Sports Festival

Kelantan OA Sports Festival is an annual gala organised to promote fun and holistic learning  to Orang Asli. It is an activity that gather all 11 Orang Asli schools in Kelantan to compete with one another healthily. This competition is also done to select athletes that will represent Kelantan to the National Orang Asli Sports Festival in Johor later.


SK Balar, this year has taken another leap by participating in this big event. As a matter of fact this was our first appearence on the field. For most of the teachers in Balar, this activity can introduce our students to the meaning of being competitive. We do realise there are a huge gap and differences between OA that live in Kuala Betis and our students, who live deep in the jungle. Through this activity, therefore, we hope to bring about a change in our students’ self-esteem.


The gala took two days and one night at SK Kuala Betis. A number of 32 students were brought out from the jungle to compete in various events. SK Balar participated in Handball (Male & Female), Football, Nasyeed and Track and Field events. Since this was our first debut we wished nothing rather than to see our students competatively compete with other schools. Medals for us is the second thing, the first thing is that they give a good fight to others. To our surprise, however, several of our athletes managed to grab medals and brought honours back to the school. Good Job guys!!!!


The night before the final day, we bought KFC for our students. You can see the smiles on each face, from ear to ear, so cute <3 (well, i remain the cold hearted teacher despite of all the cuteness around me).

The results of the events are as follows;Handball (Male and Female) = Semi Finale; Football Semi Finale; Nasyeed – Winner; Long Jump (Female) – winner; 200m (Female) – bronze; 100m (female)- Silver. We are so proud of you.

Next year WE WILL BE BACK and GRAB ALL THE MEDALS!!!!To all athletes that will represent Kelantan, best of luck!!! may Allah bless you.

Hidup BALAR!!!!!
