The CoC for the recent NPC- Celcom hunt released this statement today.

Dear Mike,

First and foremost, I apologise for having caused the “spark” that has “fired” up your blog over the results in the Media Category of the NPC-Celcom Hunt.

The points for two treasures were inadvertently missed out when tallying the total points of the “Kereta Buruk” and “Sons of Sun” teams, a mistake which should not have happened. But then it did! I do not believe in giving excuses for what has happened. I also do not think that the NPC should be held responsible in any way. The announced winners of the hunt should not be blamed for anything as well. They did nothing wrong. I take full responsibility for the mistake.

With the 10 points added on, Kereta Buruk (with 99 points) are now the first prize winner of the Media Category and Sons of Sun (with 95 points) are the second prize winner. Both the teams have exercised patience and understanding in allowing me to arrive at a fair decision. I contacted both teams Thursday and have rewarded them for their victory.

Accordingly, the winners of the Media Category are as follows:

1. Kereta Buruk – 99 points
2. Sons of Sun – 95 points
3. Blur Squad – 94 points
4. MiB – 93 points
5. Close One Eye – 90 points
6. Stowaways – 85 points
7. Heritage Media – 75 points
8. OddBalls – 74 points

I hope you will post this statement on your blog to clear the air and bring the matter to rest. Thank you.

Warm regards,
Govind Nair

It was a tough hunt clerked by Sam Rahman. The team comprising of Vincent Woo, VK Chong, Claire Chin won the hunt.

I was doing this hunt for a GLC yesterday, which was a nice change and experience.

It rained early in the morning when teams were coming in but luckily it stop just before flag-off. The rest of the morning was rather cloudy and cool, a nice day for hunting.

The answer presentation session was noisy, lots of cheering and heckling the coc! All in good fun.

I have not ask Raj, the Coc for this hunt but I won’t be surprise if all the 10 top placings or even more teams scored full points for the treasure hunt questions. I will post the questions here later and you can see why. All the 4 top placings dropped the same 2 questions for the morning session. At the tie-breaker session, the 4 teams had to list down the horoscope in the right order.
