This week many MSSD chess competitions are being held. MSSD stands for Majlis Sukan Sekolah-Sekolah Daerah in Malay. Basically, MSSD chess competition is a scholastic chess tournament at district level. After MSSD, it will be MSSS for Selangor state or MSSJ for Johor state. After state MSS, it will be MSSM which is a national level.
In 2009, MSSM chess competition was hosted by Selangor. 2010, Perlis was the host while 2011, it was Penang's turn. Terengganu became the host in 2012. Last year, the MSSM chess competition was held in Taiping, Perak. For 2014 edition, which state will become the host? To GiLoCatur's knowledge, SARAWAK will be the host.

He was the second runner up (3rd place) in the Boys Under 12 category. Being among the Top 4 in the MSSD competition, Fikri represented the MSSD Petaling Perdana in the MSSS chess competition.
