MMA SPORT

VENUE : PJ Club     TIME: 8am till 2pm     DATE: 10 Feb 2007

A fine wonderful Saturday morning when almost everyone is still on the bed, more than 50 medical students from University of Malaya (UM), and 30 medical officers from Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) were in a fighting position with all the equipment. They dressed in the way of a “soldiers” going for “battle”.

There was indeed a battle field for all of the in the PJ club where the Medical officers from MMA and medical students from UM to fight for the MMA trophy. There were five events, badminton, table tennis, futsal, pools, and tennis.

All of the participants from UM go to the PJ club by our own transports. The events started at 9am with the opening ceremony, where the President of MMA and Organizer of the MMA Sport gave their speeches. We had our breakfast there before all the events started.

A tough day indeed, as all of us had to battle to win under the burning hot sun. The temperature kept rising, sweat all over the places, but all of us seems to have fun with the events. After four hours battling, all of the events came to an end. UM won with the 4-1 scoring. The medical officers were dominating in the pool event.

At one o’clock, we had our lunch first before the closing ceremony began. The secretary of MMA association was there to give his speech and to deliver the hampers and trophy to the winners. It was very fun for all of the participants.

We bring the glory back to the UM and we hope we can make it in the future where we can still be the winner of the MMA sport.
