Meanwhile, Nureikmar Muhamad has also made a large impact which led to him becoming the vice captain of the team.The new coach has led the team to many victories that includes over the Philippines.The most important thing however is the youth as, young starlets like Abdul Izzudin,David Liong,Eugene Ong,John Ng and Terrence Loh has cultivated the country to go in the right direction.
