They went to the Meragang Sixth Form Centre to kick start their school tour to promote the KFC Fitness Zone 3-on-3 Basketball Challenge.

A talk was delivered and a clinic conducted with the attendance of some 300 students and teachers at the event.

The clinic was held by the duo of ex-PBA (Philippine Basketball Association) players and Jacky Yong Kui Seng.

Jonathan Bong, Senior Marketing manager of KFC, is looking at the big picture of the project.

"As part of our roadmap to see a Brunei team play in the 3-on-3 event during the Olympics, we are trying to push for a 3-on-3 interschool basketball tournament to happen in the near future," said Bong.

Wu Chun, managing director of Fitness Zone, was also in attendance and even shared his basketball experience as well as gave tips on the sport via demo.

"For now we are adopting most of FIBA's rules so as to prep the participants, hence our slogan for this year is 'Our Rules, Your Battles, Anyone's Game'," said Wu Chun.

"We are happy to be here today (Tuesday) to promote basketball. We are looking to go to all schools and promote a healthy lifestyle," he added.

"We are under negotiations with several other schools at this time and we are looking to go to some 10 schools within the span of three months," continued Wu Chun. Read More…
