Sibu Table Tennis or Ping Pong

Temenggong Vincent Lau, the President of the Sibu Ping Pong Association is egging youngsters to put in more hard work and innovation to improve at Table Tennis.

It can be recalled that the Sibu team won 3 golds and Kuching won 15 golds at the State Championships.

Mr. Lau said that they are trying to find a Chinese Table Tennis coach, but he emphasized that youngsters themselves should try to find solutions on their own. Dr Clement Ting lauded players who also did well in academics.
