“It was a really tough tournament for us because the team was not fully fit. However, thanks to teamwork and fighting spirit, we were able to win against Hong Kong and take third place,” said Khoo Eng Cheong, captain of the Brunei National Veteran Basketball Team.
Wu Chun, Managing Director of Fitness Zone who sponsored the Brunei National Veteran Basketball Team’s jerseys said, “Sponsoring the team has always been a joy for me. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is a lifelong process and it is something most people tend to neglect and regret in the later stage of life.”
