"TAKING part in sports is not just about being healthier, but it is empowering," the deputy minister of culture, youth and sports told women in Brunei, especially mothers, in conjunction with Mother's Day tomorrow.

"You must take part in sports to be healthier. If you are healthy, you will feel you are a better person, and you are empowered and will feel more confident in yourself," Datin Hjh Adina Othman told The Brunei Times on the sidelines of the launching of Fitness Zone campaign to provide free passes for a limited time for women in Brunei yesterday.

The deputy minister said that one of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports' policies is to have "Sports for All".

"This means doing sports for your health, not just for excellence. This is something we are advocating for all people in Brunei," she said.

As for empowering women, Datin Hjh Adina said, "If you are a healthy person, you are a better mother because you can be confident in yourself and give a better life for your kids."

She added, "It also empowers you at work. If you are a healthier person, you will have a healthier body and healthier mind. It is not just for women, but for everyone."

Asked what was her message to women in Brunei on Mothers' Day, the deputy minister said, "A healthier mother is good for the whole family because of the impact the mother has on the whole family."

According to Datin Hjh Adina, a mother's role in the family is very strong and important. "If a mother can give a healthier lifestyle to the whole family, by the food they consume, the exercise they do and how they use their time, then definitely it will be better for everybody and the whole nation," she said.

"The family is the smallest unit in society. If you have a healthy family, it will contribute to the national development."

Datin Hjh Adina emphasised that a healthier family would have less medical costs and be more productive.

"Everything is related, and eventually it is all about national development."

Regarding Fitness Zone's efforts to hold a campaign to promote a healthier lifestyle among women by providing them free passes for 10 days, she said, "We are very thankful to Fitness Zone because they are promoting this as they also felt the need for empowering women through sports."

As guest of honour at the launching, Datin Hjh Adina was led by Fitness Zone Managing Director Wu Chun to try out several facilities at the gym yesterday.

The deputy minister also joined the others in the work-out classes.
