31 August, Day 2
We went into the Wilayah Complex and as per schedule, a meeting among organizers, team managers and team captains
was held in the tournament room :
The front row are the young Penang players, while FM Ooi Chern Ee(in red) is just behind them
And the organizers, in front of all, are Mr. Lim Tse Pin(left) and Mr. Hamid(center)
First round start at 9.30am and to our surprise, the tournament was
greeted by a few loud “boom” from the magnificent jet fighter, MIG-29
which were flying at low altitude for the Merdeka celebrations.
However, by the time I got out of the building, the jet is already
disappear and never came back...
