After enrolling in this program, I can affirm that this meeting significantly increased my understanding of the value of self-defense in Silat Melayu. The wisdom and traditions of the Silat that have been kept alive for a very long period must also be conserved. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also helpful to me. As the treasurer for this program, I have to plan the funding and the budget for the overall activity that will be held throughout the whole program. It is very challenging for me because, it is quite hard to contact the admin in order to know about the procedure of budget approval. Despite all the ups and downs, I have managed to complete it with success with the help of my teammates.
This information made me think about the fundamentals of self defense, which anyone may use whenever they are in a dangerous situation. Additionally, Silat has taught me the value of respecting our instructors when it comes to learning.
Overall, the program had provided me the chance to manage a community-impact program despite dealing with the Covid 19 pandemic.
