Anwar praised Ismail's outstanding performance, leadership, and fighting spirit, stating that Ismail is a source of pride for both the people of Johor and all Malaysians. The MVP award came after Ismail led Royal Johor to a 10-7 victory over Temasek in the final, contributing six of the team's 10 goals. The 22-goal handicap tournament, which took place from September 1 to 6, was the highest-handicap polo competition organized in Malaysia to date.
