Khairy: Azizul and Terengganu MB issue could be a misunderstanding

By Vijesh Rai

RIO DE JANEIRO: Azizulhasni Awang has been advised to seek clarification from the Terengganu Menteri Besar’s office over the cyclist’s claim that a request for assistance went unheeded.
.
Saying that it could be a misunderstanding, Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin said Azizulhasni should not allow the issue to spoil his celebrations after winning the Rio Olympics keirin bronze on Tuesday.
.
“From my interpretation, I believe it is a misunderstanding. I will speak to Azizul and advise him to contact the Menteri Besar’s Office.
.
“This can be easily resolved and Azizul should not allow it to overshadow what he has achieved in Rio,” said Khairy on Wednesday.
.
The cyclist, said Khairy, could have applied for additional assistance from the Terengganu state government which may have gone unnoticed.
.
“I don’t really know what transpired but Azizul gets full support from the sports ministry and the Sime Darby Foundation. However, he may have wanted additional support which he applied to Terengganu for.”

T’ganu MB: I was not informed of Azizulhasni’s request

 

Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman said that he was unaware of any previous request from Olympic medal-wining cyclist Azizulhasni Awang for aid from the state government.

“I want to explain that the matter that was raised by Azizulhasni which is being spread in social media, was not brought to my attention,” he said in a statement.

“I am ready to meet with Azizul and listen to him with an open heart,” said Ahmad Razif.

The MB also said that he is evaluating a suitable reward to honour Azizulhasni’s achievement.

Olympic bronzemedalcyclistthanks‘ T’ganu MB for not helping

Cyclist Azizulhasni Awang in his thank you note after bagging a bronze medal at the Rio Olympics 2016 has taken a sarcastic swipe at Terengganu Menteri Besar Ahmad Razif Abdul Rahman.

“To Terengganu menteri besar…Fatehah and I would still like to express our thanks even though you did not agree to help us, two Terengganu natives, competing on a global stage and at this Olympics.

“Thank you for not buying a ‘Road Bike’ for our use in preparation for this Olympics, even though the proposal was submitted nearly one year ago,” said Azizulhasni who placed third in the Keirin cycling event.

“Also, thank you for not giving us any feedback and remaining silent when my manager contacted you.

“For your information, Fatehah and I are world class Olympic athletes, something which you have always overlooked. Maybe one of the factors is that we have been training overseas,” said the 28-year-old in a Facebook post.
