"Certainly, each of you will pit your skills and talents against your opponents from other teams. But I encourage you to also make the most of this wonderful opportunity to showcase your best athletic talent and spirit comradeship,"
"I would like to share with you the quote from Jesse Owens, the legendary American Athlete who won gold medals in the 1936 Summer Olympic Games in Berlin, Germany. It goes like this;
"Friendship born on the field of athletic strife is the real gold of competition. Awards become corroded, but friends gather no dust. "
"Few will dispute that sports make you strong, healthy and teach us to accept defeat graciously and celebrate victory in humility. These lessons later will become building blocks of success in life. And being the young ambassadors of your country these values augurs well for the future and the success of the region, " he said during the opening ceremony in Syuen Hotel, last night.
Present at the ceremony was The Perak's Education Director, Tuan Haji Mohd Idris Bin Haji Ramli and Director of Sports Ministry of Education, Madam Ee Hong.
