SALAK SOUTH, KUALA LUMPUR - A day after celebrating Malaysia Day, officers of the Kuala Lumpur State Council joined members of the Stedfast Association of Kuala Lumpur for it's annual Sports Fellowship Games. The Fellowship Games held between the two organisations has been a common program for the past four years dedicating 16th September (Malaysia Day) of every year aside for this special occasion. This year, September 16th fell on a Sunday and the games was therefore postponed to the following day which was declared a public holiday.

The overall champion is determined by the number of games won by each set/game. However, it seemed irrelevant as Stedfast once again dominated the games winning four of the five sports, with only the KL State carom team spoiling their perfect record. Therefore, the champions for the fourth consecutive time went to the Stedfast Association of Kuala Lumpur.
