(Miri, 25th) Miri Mayor YB Adam Yii expressed that Rummy is not an easy game to pick up. It combines numerical logic, strategic thinking, and more.
He said, although there are only 8 participants, those who come to participate must be experts, but this is a very good start. Only by frequently organizing these competitions can we promote the benefits of board games!
YB Adam Yii , who is also the state assemblyman of Pujut, made these remarks during the opening ceremony of the 2025 Miri Rummikub Championship held at the party branch activity room.
He pointed out that he heard the participants come from different small board game communities, and if the Miri Board Game Society didn't organize the tournament, we wouldn't have known that there are so many board game enthusiasts in Miri.
"Board games are suitable for all ages as they can exercise our mind, body, and language abilities. If we can maintain our passion for board games, it's very likely that board games could soon be part of school courses and extracurricular activities."
He also said that as of now, only Miri Pei Min Middle School has a board game club. He sincerely hopes that the Miri Board Game Society can bring board games into the Ministry of Education, allowing schools to establish board game clubs and use board games to conduct educational courses or train students' logical thinking and reasoning skills.
He also hopes that the Miri Board Game Society can hold more competitions to attract board game enthusiasts of different age groups to participate and bring the benefits of board games to those around them.
Additionally, Kelvin Hii, the youth leader of the Pujut branch of Miri SUPP, said at the meeting that board games are a good activity that can get everyone to put down their phones and interact. Therefore, everyone can take advantage of the reunion during the Lunar New Year to play board games together, enhancing the bonds between friends and family.
