In his closing speech, Dr. Kasim said “Sportsmanship is very important and not just merely winning and losing. The satisfaction in competition is when you realize that you have tried your very best.” Under Secretary Dr. Saharudin Ismail from the Ministry of Higher Education was also present at the Closing Ceremony.
