The Selangor Female Silambam Competition, which is the first ever competition organised for female Silambam athletes both in Selangor and Malaysia, took place at the Tanjung MBSA Hall, Shah Alam. The ambitious competition had 266 eager young participants.

The competition had four different categories, consisting of individual, group, synchronisation, and combative. The participants were all women and girls aged between 5 and 44 who were all eager to show and develop their skills in this ancient Tamil martial arts.

A. R. Yogeswari Arumugam, leading organiser of the Selangor Women’s Silambam Competition 2023, shared that she was overwhelmed and excited by the amount of support the competition had received from both eager participants and parents alike.

I was named as the person incharge to organise this competition; 16 other women work under my leadership. There are over 250 kids who have entered this competition, and even the parents are supportive of this endeavor. As organisers, the level of support and success the event has received is truly something that was unexpected.

Participants from 7 different districts took part in this competition, with the Ulu Langat team emerging as the resounding champion.
