On behalf of the Organizing Committee SICG 2008, I wish to extend a very warm welcome to all participants and guests to this inaugural Sarawak Inter-Community Golf (SICG) 2008 to be held on the 8th November (Saturday) 2008 at the Kelab Golf Sarawak, Petra Jaya.
By bringing together golfers from all ethnicities, it is our hopes that a championship like this could be foster an even closer bonds of friendship and spirit of co-operation that Sarawak is well-known for. In the longer term we aim to expand this championship to a level that include ethnicities and communities beyond the island of Borneo. I believe that such lofty objective is achievable especially with the full support of YB Dato Sri William Mawan Ak Ikom, the Minister of Social Development and Urbanization, the Kelab Golf Sarawak, the 6 Community Captains and the dedicated committee members. Towards that end I would like to thank the 6 Community Captains, who are personalities known from both within and outside of their respective communities, for their active participant.
I would like to especially thank Yang Berhormat Dato Sri William Mawan Ak Ikom for entrusting me with the tasks of actualizing his idea of bringing together golfers from various ethnic background together towards a bigger agenda of national integrity and racial harmony. My special thanks go to all sponsors for their generous support that enabled me and my organizing committee to organize and run the championship successfully. And to my committee, my grateful thanks for your hard work and dedication. Together we will endeavour to bring this championship to become one of the prestigious golfing event in Sarawak for years to come.
Finally, to every golfer enjoy your golf and have fun!
