Miri Open 2009

Morsin Ahmad wins Miri Open 2009. No detail standings provided, I got a friend who just come back from there.



Abu Bakar in action against Morsin Ahmad (picture taken from Sarawak Open 2008)




Abdul Sahim Wising comes second after losing to Abu Bakar (pic above)
and pocketed RM350 prize.

Abu Bakar is third place while Yusuf Hashim comes fourth.
Hehehe, no pictures because I didn't manage to go with Sahim due to work commitment. Congrats to all prize winners.
