Br. Harith, the event's programme manager, gave his concluding remarks about this mini-badminton tournament. He stated, “I do think that there is a need to be flexible if you are in charge of the programme because there are things that somehow have been overlooked, so just prepare your mind and be flexible.”


He added, “Last but not least, my motto “sacrifice needed” helped me successfully conduct this event with my team.”***
