The National Pharmacy Sports Carnival (NPSC) is an annual sports event involving all pharmacy students across the nation. This year, the 9th National Pharmacy Sports Carnival (NPSC) was successfully held in University of Malaya (UM) from the 22nd to 24th of January 2016. 37 brave athletes were sent to represent Taylor's University in track and field, modern games, swimming and traditional games.

Day 1 (22nd January 2016)
Our students gathered at Taylor's University Lakeside Campus at 10am on the first day of NPSC, and departed to UM by taking Tayloe's bus. After checking in to our respective dorms, the students went to have lunch at the cafeteria located in our residential college (KK12) before heading to Kompleks MSN Setiawangsa for the opening ceremony of the 9th NPSC.

This was the last day of NPSC, some of our athletes were injured while playing modern games yesterday but the pain did not become their excuses, they still got up early in the morning to get involved in the traditional games session. The games that we joined were Angry Bird, Coconut Bowling (coconut was replaced by basketball this year), Sack Race and Three-legs Race.

After the traditional games, we moved to Dewan Tunku Canselor for the closing ceremony.
