'I am very pleased with the participation of many students, the desire for students to gain knowledge of the dangers of venomous animals and the procedure of operating venomous animals. This is very important due to the structure of land in college areas with swampy areas and forests exposed to the presence of venomous animals. From this program, it can be a lot to prepare students with the knowledge of venomous animal handling procedures in the event of real situations. '

" Saya amat berbesar hati dengan penyertaan para pelajar yang ramai, keinginan pelajar untuk menimba ilmu berkenaan bahaya haiwan berbisa dan tatacara pengendalian haiwan berbisa. Ini sangat penting berikutan struktur tanah di kawasan kolej yang mempunyai kawasan lembap berpaya dan hutan yang terdedah dengan kehadiran binatang berbisa. Dari program ini sedikit sebanyak dapat mempersiapkan pelajar dengan ilmu tatacara pengendalian haiwan berbisa jika terjadi situasi sebenar nanti."

Ribuan terima kasih diucapkan kepada para peserta dan ahli jawatankuasa yang terlibat atas kerjasama dalam menjayakan program Pink Venom. Semoga program ini sedikit sebanyak dapat memberikan pengetahuan kepada para peserta dalam mengenali haiwan berbisa iaitu ular khususnya.
