| Another student Wong Fui Mei, whose three-member team won the PNB quiz, said the industrial training with a mutual fund company helped them tremendously during the investment quiz. |
| |
| Her team-mate, Wong Pooi Mun also credited the success to her lecturers especially their guidance throughout the years in the college and also for the competition. |

| SBS head Kho Sok Kee said the School was delighted with the triple success achieved by its students in intervarsity competitions. |
