Officers of Brunei’s Islamic authority performs “rukyah”, the sighting of the new moon of Ramadan, over the sky of Bukit Agok outside Bandar Seri Begawan August 31, 2008. Muslims scan the sky at dusk at the end of their lunar calendar’s eighth month in search of the new moon to proclaim the beginning of Ramadan, Islam’s holiest month during which observant believers fast from dawn to dusk. Muslims celebrate end of the sacred Ramadan with Eid al-Fitr festival. (Ahim Rani)

Congratulations to the Singapore Slingers on their convincing victory over last year’s champs, the LG Sakers. It was a one-sided game from the start with the Sakers getting a slow start and never really getting into gear. Little Jason Castro was undoubtedly MVP for the night as he weaved his way into the Sakers’ defence to deliver stunning shots. All in all, a great championship and most importantly, I managed to get some invaluable sports photography practice! Until next year…
