In an interview, Superi expressed pride in the participation of the Sarawak teams at this year’s convention.
He noted that the success of the four teams not only continues the tradition of excellent performance by Sarawak’s ICC teams at each ICQCC edition but also highlights the strong culture of innovation and creativity within Sarawak’s public service, fostered through the Sarawak Civil Service Innovation Convention Awards (SCSICA).
