Our record for the 2008 West Zone Inter-School Basketball Tournament:
2 wins and 2 losses.
We have done well to bounce back from defeats in our opening 2 matches, to clinch victory against Yusof Ishak and Commonwealth Secondary.
It is good to end our tournament on a winning note.
We just missed making it to the next round (which was our target), but this year's team have improved in terms of results.
So, I congratulate you, because you have performed better this year.
We also wish Nan Hua High School and Assumption English School all the very best in the West Zone tournament.
Even though we could not advance to the Second Round with this crop of players, I still think that on any other day, we would definitely give Nan Hua or AES a run for their money.
With more confidence and more determination, we are definitely a top 10 school in our West Zone.
To the current crop of players who still have a chance of playing next year, please remember the lessons from this tournament.
Nobody thinks very highly about Fajar actually. However, we always shut their mouths by the old-fashioned way - through hard work, speed and team work.
Nobody heard about Fajar, until we almost defeated Bukit Panjang Gov't High in January 2007.
Nobody heard about Fajar, until we almost defeated Nan Hua High School in January 2008.
We have met some of the better teams in competition and we have stood toe-to-toe with them.
This gives me the confidence that with even more training and effort from everybody, the Fajar basketball team will be on everyone's lips. People will say what a good team we are.
I want to see this happen, before I leave the school. This is one of my ambitions.
