SHAH ALAM, July 3 — Recipients of contributions from the Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated) Foundation, or MBI, hope to use the support to further develop their talents on the international stage.
Selangor fencing athlete Saif Nordin, 15, expressed gratitude for being selected, saying the aid would greatly ease his sporting journey.
“This support is incredibly helpful as it enables me to participate in more competitions, especially international ones where I can work towards improving my world ranking.
“From there, I will be one step closer to my dream of competing in the 2032 Brisbane Olympics,” he said during the foundation’s contribution handover programme today.
Earlier, MBI chief Ahmad Azri Zainal presented RM110,000 in contributions to 14 young athletes in motorsports, fencing, golf, and badminton, as well as to the Selangor Hockey Association.
Similarly, motorsports athlete Sharf Muhriz Farhan, 15, who aspires to join MotoGP one day, said he was honoured to receive support from MBI.
Meanwhile, 12-year-old golfer Raja Muhammad Syakir Raja Mohd Sukry shared his excitement, saying he was thrilled that MBI recognised his efforts.
“This contribution will help me prepare for two major tournaments — one in Malaysia and another in Japan — coming up in August and September,” he said.
