John a tall man of few words with broad shoulders, is an exemplary man at service, so humbly express “Taking up the portfolio of Sports Secretary is a novel venture for me; however, thanks to the confidence demonstrated in my abilities to take up this post, I will be able to bring to the desk (and the field) my passion for sports in general. Although I have no major sports achievements to share, I do dabble in badminton, hockey, football and cricket. My love for sports and the desire to keep myself active in a variety of sporting activities, I think will hold me in good stead during my tenure as the Sports Secretary.”

John a cheerful persona ensures to spread happiness in and around him through his buoyant nature.  The self-confidence and love for the community, John hopes to take MCCP to the next soaring level in sporting events, whereby community has already carved a niche amongst the other communities in the region.

He states ‘primarily I should enjoy the task I perform… automatically the rewards follow’, thus from here he sees to sustain the success of MCCP that has seen in the past and continue to excel in the future to let the flag flying high amongst the others! Simultaneously ensures that the community this year will be enjoying great sporting events…!
