Towards the end of the show, President Tharman and former national goalkeeper Hassan Sunny got the crowd roaring in a penalty shootout which saw the former beating the latter 3-2.
After his win, Mr Tharman said: “My strategy was to gelek (dance in Malay) a bit but you can’t beat [Hassan Sunny] straight. Honestly, I’m just in awe of Hassan… He’s really an idol for all of us.”
