History
of Takraw in Malaysia
Takraw has been
in existence since 600 years ago. At the time of the Malacca Sultanate,
alongside the aristocracy, the people also love this game. Malay history tells
the story of King Mohammed, the son of Sultan Mansor Shah Muhammad getting his
'tanjak' off when hit by the Great Tun kick while playing takraw.
In the 1940,
the game was played using nets and using scoring systems similar with badminton.
Laws and regulations of takraw game has been drafted and put in writing on 15
April 1960 in Malaysia Kuala Lumpur. Sepak takraw present an adaptation takraw and
badminton games. In 1965 the name changed from 'sepak raga jaring' to Sepak
Takraw (Malaysia) Takraw (Thai - balls) by the Honourable Mr. Muhammad Khir
Johari.
The Malaysian Sepak Raga Federation was founded at a conference held at the Community Hall in Penang, June 25, 1960. Delegates from Kedah, Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Penang attended. The first President was Mr. Mohd Khir Johari. Later the same year, representatives from various Southeast Asian counties met in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's capital city, to establish a standard set of rules and regulations for the game. To promote the game further in Malaysia, an inter-state competition was organised in 1962. Penang became the first holder of the Khir Johari Gold Cup. By then, Sepak Raga Jaring (Sepak Raga Net) had become one of the more popular games in the country, and today modern Sepaktakraw is Malaysia's national sport.
