Mr. Azrul Shah bin Mohamad, Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Selangor in a statement shared, “This golf tournament journey inspired by the concept of ‘Pusing Selangor Dulu’, in which we organise tournaments in different locations each year. This year, we chose Seri Selangor Golf Club as the official venue for our fourth tournament. The 4th Tourism Selangor Golf Tournament is also a way to show support for Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ), which is also celebrating its 16th anniversary this year. With the 'Pusing Selangor Dulu' idea, we encourage participants to not only demonstrate their golfing skills, but also visit the tourism sites around the golf course we choose each year. For instance, there are several tourist attractions like the Chocolate Museum in Kota Damansara, Kidzania, The Curve, 1 Utama, and Tropicana Gardens at our event location today.”.
