As an additional expression of its social commitment, the royal event also highlighted the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) Selangor, a high-impact charitable initiative based at RSPEC that will provide equestrian therapy for children with special needs.

Sejiwa brings racket sports into RSPEC
Following the ceremony, the royal entourage proceeded to Sejiwa Social Club, an integrated racket-sports recreational destination located within the same complex.

In line with today’s rapidly evolving modern lifestyle, the center features:

8 dedicated pickleball courts: Designed to cater to enthusiasts of varying skill levels.
1 dedicated padel court: Providing facilities for those looking to take up one of the fastest-growing sports in the world.
Royal pickle court: Built to stringent international tournament specifications, enabling RSPEC to host prestigious, globally scaled competitions in Selangor.

In addition, each court is named after Selangor’s nine main districts, symbolizing the strong spirit of unity shared between RSPEC and Sejiwa Social Club.

The surrounding outdoor area also serves as an active recreational hub equipped with a range of additional facilities, including a golf training center, futsal courts, tennis courts and basketball courts.

The RSPEC Committee further emphasized that all facilities within the complex, including Sejiwa Social Club, are open to the public and are not restricted to private members.
