SJK(C) Min Sin emerged champions of the state-level Primary School Uniformed Bodies Marching Competition 2024 in the Boys and Girls categories.
SJK(C) MIN Sin in Penang won the state-level Primary School Uniformed Bodies Marching Competition (PBBSR) 2024 in both the Boys and Girls categories.
The school finished runner-up in Tunas Kadet Remaja Sekolah (TKRS) Boys category and third in the Girls category.
SJK(C) Min Sin headmaster Lim Yin Chai said this was the first time they competed in all four categories of the competition.
“The weather was not favourable, as the team had to carry on in heavy rain but they did well,” Lim said as reported by Buletin Mutiara.
The school’s marching coach Ang Aik Fung said both champion teams would compete at the national level, which will involve 13 states, in early September.
The top three teams will be selected to participate in the final in Melaka.
As for the cadet teams, Ang said even though they did not win the competition, it did not mean their journey ended.
They participated in the National Day marching competition on Aug 31, he said.

In the Boys category, SK Mengkuang was runner-up while SK Sungai Kechil emerged third.
The best platoon leader for this year’s PBSSR was awarded to SK Sungai Duri (Girls) and SK Mengkuang (Boys) categories.
The championship trophy for the TKRS Girls category went to SK Sungai Batu, while runner- up was SK Juara.
In the TKRS Boys category where SJK(C) Min Sin came second, SK Sungai Rambai was crowned the winner with SK Sungai Bakap emerging third.
SK Sungai Batu teacher Zahratul Jannah Bashir Ahmed said the competition at state-level was intense.
She said the sacrifices by the school’s pupils and teachers, who trained every day, including weekends, finally paid off.
“Last year, we only secured third place but this year, we are state champions and qualified for the national-level competition,” she said.
A senior teacher at SK Sungai Rambai said the hard work of the coaches and pupils paid off when the school was crowned champion in the TKRS Boys category.
“The most important thing is their strong sense of identity.
“We hope they will continue to do their best and keep achieving success in future competitions,” he said.
It is learnt that only five schools were selected to take part in each category, based on their first placing at the district-level marching competitions.
