A three day Pencak Silat Championship was organised by the Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) Bintulu Campus in collaboration with Rumpun Silat Sarawak took place on the 22nd - 24th February 2008. It began on Friday evening with the weighing and registration session for all the pesilats at the Sri Rajang Multi Purpose Hall where the championship was held.
PERSIB Cawangan Belait was invited to participate in the championship and had sent a delegation of 8 people, consisting of three committee members and five pesilats including one female.
Sixty two pesilats from seven local silat associations in Bintulu taking part where the Universiti Putra Malaysia as a host had sent two teams A and B while other silat associations includes, Perguruan Helang Putih Perkasa, Perguruan Gerak Hidayah, Perguruan Jampaian 7, Perguruan Spring 12, Perguruan Langkah Pertiwi and PERSIB Cawangan Belait.
The championship was divided into two categories - Silat Olahraga and Silat Seni. Pesilats from Persib Cawangan Belait were all competing in the Silat Olahraga or Tanding categories in different classes with :-
1. Amirul Ahat in putra class C
2. Muhd. Salwa Faizal in putra class G
3. Yusof in putra class D
4. Daniel in putra class A
5. Rohana in putri class B
Both Daniel and Rohana had won gold medal in the final event. Amirul and Muhd. Salwa Faizal could had won either bronze or silver if not because that we have to leave Bintulu early to return back to Brunei since their respective fights were scheduled late in the evening.
It was a very eventful experience for our pesilats, by competing and exposing themselves to other away silat championship in the region.
