Review 2016 In Retrospect

2016 of me……

People tend to use the word ‘disaster’ to describe the year 2016, due to political and financial instability for the whole year 2016… Ya, 2016 is a disaster year for me too, especially at my job, 2 people working for a TV programme for almost one year, and this situation still continues until today, days are getting tough, however as I went to the tough day, I experienced more and became more skilled in my job, so it’s wasn’t everything bad when it comes to disaster. As you can see, even our country has survived political and financial instability in 2016, but for the sports part, we’ve reached the golden era, we won 4 Silver and 1 Bronze for Rio Olympics, 3 Gold and 1 Bronze for Rio Paralympics, these are the best records in our sport's history. So, no matter me, or Malaysians, stay positive and do our best for the coming year, the coming challenges.
