PORTALJABAR, BANDUNG CITY - West Java Governor Dedi Mulyadi emphasized the public and civil servants' priority in participating in sports competitions during the 43rd National Sports Day (HAORNAS) commemoration in 2026 at the Arcamanik Sports Field. In addition to sportsmanship, honesty is also essential when competing in HAORNAS.

"So, if an athlete doesn't think fairly and takes medication, they will still suffer," said KDM, Dedi Mulyadi's nickname, while attending the 43rd HAORNAS Commemoration, Tuesday (22/9/2026).

Through this sporting competition, the public is also expected to develop patience, tenacity, and hard work. If someone cheats, respond with a smile. There's no need to react emotionally to cheating.

Another important thing is that participating in HAORNAS will help you maintain a healthy body, leading to a long life. A healthy body will trigger a happy mind.

According to KDM, exercise is one way to avoid medical visits. Therefore, he encourages the public to make exercise a part of their daily lives. KDM has been practicing this habit every morning by the edge of the rice fields.

Apart from exercise, he advised people to rest and drink enough water and be exposed to morning sunlight.

On that occasion, KDM also expressed his appreciation to sports people in West Java, including the National Paralympic Committee of Indonesia (NPCI) as a forum that is fully responsible for gathering, fostering, training and forming quality disabled sports athletes.
