I personally, as Indonesian basketball league lovers, get to know Mr.Luk for his gait on basketball world especially in Solo City. Beside as founder of the largest textile factory in Southeast Asia, he also was part of Sritex Arena founder. Without his dedication, Solo City might not have basketball venue with its international standard which we very proud of, it's named Sritex Arena (times ago also as known as Gor Bhineka). Because of his touch, Sritex Arena became one of grandest basketball buildings in Indonesia. Indeed, Mr.Luk's dedication to basketball in Solo was very immense. Including of Bhineka Sritex and Dragons Sritex Enduro's formation. Mr.Luk also known as basketball lovers. He gave full support to Bhineka Solo professional club that debuted in the 1990's to 2000's. Until now, Sritex Arena still serves as basketball venue. For these four seasons, the court with its 3500 capacity of spectators never missed becoming one of venues where organizing the highest Indonesia basketball leagues: NBL Indonesia and WNBL Indonesia. The biggest basketball league for student: Developmental Basketball League (DBL) and Junior Basketbal League (JRBL) also held in Sritex Arena.
