Right At The Doorstep Of Prime Minister's Office

Practicing relentlessly till
dusk for the big night.

In the blistering midday heat, they quietly endured. No clouds nor trees nor shade, they continued relentlessly till dusk. Practicing, preparing, for the coming time after sundown. Furnishing on what was to be written down as one of the major milestones in the history of martials arts in the country. A quick Google search indicated that no other martial arts has ever conducted such an event right at the very doorstep of the Prime Minister's office. Silat Cekak under the umbrella of PSSCPUHM (Persekutuan Seni Silat Cekak Pusaka Ustaz Hanafi Malaysia) led by the grandmaster Tuan Guru Dr Md Radzi Haji Hanafi, was the first to do so.
