The duo also won the ‘Best of Nation’ award, an accolade given to each country’s best performers.
NYP’s prowess in the IT arena is also proven with Jared Sim Mong Khim bagging the gold medal in IT Network Systems Administration. Jared, a third year Diploma in Business Enterprise IT student, follows in the footsteps of a string of NYP competitors who have done well in IT competition areas at the WSC since 2005.
