“Fresh from the lab, off to the battle.”
The glorious National Pharmacy Sports Carnival (NPSC) 2018 had returned! This time it was held from 2nd February 2018 until 4th February 2018 and hosted by International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). 108 students were sent by Faculty of Pharmacy from The National University of Malaysia (UKM) to enter the battlefield.
On the first day, the teams departed from the campus to Sri Manja Hotel to check in for their accommodation. A well rest was taken before the male tracks team began competing. The participants then enjoyed a divine dinner at the IIUM Grand Hall while the opening ceremony was held before calling it a day.
Other games competition was held on 3rd February involving sports such as basketball, netball, takraw, squash, futsal, badminton, table tennis, tennis, volleyball and swimming; while traditional games competition was held on the next day involving games such as congkak, batu seremban and many more. After the intense battles, the closing ceremony was held as medals were awarded to the winning teams.
Once again, the participants from UKM did not disappoint us as they managed to obtain Gold in Table Tennis (Women Double) and Batu Seremban games; Silver was won in the category of Table Tennis (Men Single), Volleyball (Men) and Squash (Women); Bronze was obtained in the category of Table Tennis (Men Double) and Tennis (Men).
“Be The Best, Fly Above The Rest” It is with certain that UKM team will be returning again with profound strength and tenacity to win again in NPSC 2019!
