Kota Kinabalu: The Kadazandusun Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) emerged victorious, edging out their rivals narrowly on points in this year’s Friendship Golf Tournament held at Sutera Harbour Golf Resort for the Datuk Dr Joachim Gunsalam Challenge Trophy. 

The trophy was last held by the Dayak Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI), who won it in Sarawak.

The friendly golf match, a key highlight of the recent Kaamatan-Gawai celebration in Kota Kinabalu, brought together members of both KCCI and DCCI, reinforcing ties between the two Bornean states through sport and fellowship.

According to KCCI President Datuk Ladislaus Maluda, this year’s tournament saw one of the largest turnouts, with 130 golfers with 62 participants from each chamber.

Highlights included special musical performances by bands from Kalimantan and Sarawak, which received enthusiastic applause for their lively showmanship.

Also in attendance was DCCI President Dato’ Allan Keripin Nangkai, who reaffirmed the chambers’ commitment to unity and ongoing cooperation.
