The tournament did attract a record participation of 128 golfers including the Chief Justices Of Malaysia and Indonesia, members of the Judiciary and the legal fraternity, members of the business community and top retired and serving civil servants.
All the 18 holes were sponsored by individuals and companies who jointly contributed. ICM extends its heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the benevolent donors.

Prizes were given away by Tan Sri Abdull Hamid Embong and the lunch was serenaded by a 3 piece musician band. Master of ceremonies, Dato’ Wira A S Khamis with his usual banter, wit and jokes kept the crowd in stitches. Tan Sri Abdull Hamid Embong was as always emotional about extending his gratitude to the sponsors and the participants. In fact it was Tan Sri Abdull Hamid Embong’s untiring effort in sourcing for the sponsors which netted a generous income for the ICM. Overall, the ICM Inaugural Golf Tournament was an event of fellowship and vibrant camaraderie.
