"We beat them in two straight sets. 21-14, and 21-9," said Dwi, one of the participants. He said, the opponent was quite tough to return some punches. "However, together with my partner Fajar, we played with confidence," he said. 

Dwi said he was quite happy to be able to participate in the activity. According to him, badminton competitions can build employee friendship across institutions. 

On the other hand, Head of BPKARSS Rode Paulus said the achievement needs to be continuously improved. This does not only apply to sports, but also to other essential sectors. Such as literacy and staffing competitions. If it can be achieved, it will certainly raise the image of the agency and add credit for employees in achievement. 

Rode accompanied the badminton participants from the beginning to the last match. Occasionally, he also gave instructions to players to be enthusiastic and support each other in every match. "Losing is normal. The important thing is that we must uphold sportsmanship," he said.
