At the dinner, Yogesh Prasad, Raghunath Rajwade and Sohini Kumari were appointed honorory members of IC Singapore. IC India reciprocated by appointing Justice Choo Han Teck, Laura Koh-Liong and Paul Wong as honorary IC India members.
The IC India team later left for Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where they played a friendly match with a Malaysian team which IC Singapore had helped to arrange. It was hoped that IC India's visit to Malaysia would also help promote the IC in Malaysia with a view to the formation of an IC Malaysia.
