KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 (Bernama) — The Malaysian National Cycling Federation (MNCF) confirmed that the Terengganu Cycling Team (TSG) and Malaysia Pro Cycling (MPC) will spearhead Malaysia’s challenge at the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand from Dec 9-20.
MNCF president Datuk Amarjit Singh Gill said the combined national squad will comprise five riders from TSG and two each from MPC and the national team.
The five TSG riders are Mohamad Nur Aiman Mohd Zariff, Muhammad Nur Aiman Rosli, Kee Zhe Yie, Nur Amirull Fakhruddin Mazuki and Wan Abdul Rahman Hamdan, while Muhammad Syawal Mazlin and Muhammad Zawawi Azman are from MPC, and Tsen Ren Bao and Amir Kamal from the national team.
“This is good news for all parties involved in cycling in the country, particularly the MNCF.
“I want to thank the two teams for taking this initiative, as representing the country is an important responsibility,” he told a media conference at Wisma OCM here today.
TSG head coach Mohd Saiful Anuar Aziz has been appointed head coach for the SEA Games-bound team, with national coach Yusoff Nasir as his assistant.
Previously, MPC team manager Sayuti Zahir refused to accept the offer to collaborate with the national squad if the conditions and role given to them were not satisfactory.
It was understood that the conditions set previously involved the use of bicycles for the time trial event, as well as the budget.
For the record, the national road racing squad clinched one gold medal in the men’s mass start event, one silver in the men’s criterium and two bronzes in the women’s criterium and mass start at the 2023 edition in Cambodia.
