Regret to inform you that due to the worsening rally stages condition in Terengganu (which needed longer time to be repaired than initially expected by them), the state govt of Terengganu & WSM have come to a conclusion that the Round 2 of MRC will have to be moved to PERLIS this October.
However, Terengganu will still host the final round of MRC 2018 on Dec 13th - 15th (should all repair works has been completed). Thank you for your understanding and we're really sorry for any inconvenience caused by this unforeseen development.
