Ministry Of Defence Triumphs At<br />

Chinese Chess<br />

IT was a race to the finish<br />

for the 14 teams, from 8<br />

government agencies,<br />

that took part in the Public<br />

<strong>Service</strong> Chinese Chess<br />

Competition. It was held at<br />

<strong>Club</strong> CSC @ Tessensohn on<br />

Saturday, 28 August 2010. At<br />

the last moment, Ministry of<br />

Defence (MINDEF) pulled<br />

ahead on points to win the championship.<br />

Team Convener Mr Chow Kim Sun said that the team<br />

was “extremely excited and happy” with the win. Despite the<br />

members’ hectic work schedule, they still gathered for practice<br />

sessions during lunch hours and after work. Mr Chow credited<br />

the team for their hard work, but also acknowledged that there<br />

was an element of luck in their games. He said, “While winning<br />

the competition was satisfying, it was also a good chance to<br />

meet Chinese Chess lovers from across the civil service. All of<br />

us had our fill of fun and excitement that day.”<br />

MHA Emerge As Champion In Mixed<br />

Netball Carnival<br />

IT was an exciting day at<br />

the CCAB netball courts on<br />

Saturday, 25 Sep 10, as 33 teams<br />

from 17 government agencies<br />

competed in the Public <strong>Service</strong><br />

Mixed Netball Carnival. The<br />

teams were drawn into eight<br />

groups. They battled it out and<br />

the top two teams from each<br />

group proceeded on to the<br />

knockout stage. It was a tough<br />

It’s all smiles from the MHA netball<br />

champion team<br />

fight but in the end, the Ministry of Home Affairs triumphed over<br />

Ministry of Defence in the final to emerge champion.<br />

Team convenor Ms Irene Liew said that the team was “ecstatic<br />

and overjoyed” to have clinched the title. Due to clashes in work<br />

shifts they were unable to train together as a team, but all of them<br />

trained once a week in the evenings whenever possible. She<br />

credited the team’s dedication and love for the game for the win, as<br />

well as the support they received from their colleagues and family.<br />
