KBS always supports Judge Danish

PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Youth and Sports (KBS) has always provided support and encouragement to national Moto3 racer, Muhammad Hakim Danish Ramli, to continue to bring glory to the country at the World Motorcycle Championship. Its Minister, Dr Mohammed Taufiq Johari, said that not only Hakim Danish, but his party also provided support for the development of the country's two-wheeled motorsports through a fund injection of RM1.8 million this year. "We always provide support to all our athletes, such as this year under the Sports Matching Grant, we channeled RM800,000." "Through SIC (Sepang International Circuit) we channeled RM1 million. So the total for this year is RM1.8 million," he said. Dr Mohammed Taufiq said this at a press conference after the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between the National Youth and Sports Department with Delivery Hero Malaysia Sdn Bhd (foodpanda Malaysia), MyTeksi Sdn Bhd (Grab Malaysia) and Gamuda Land Leisure Sdn Bhd. He said KBS would also discuss any assistance and distribution of additional funds, including to Judge Danish following his success in scoring his first podium this season at the Italian Grand Prix (GP) at the Mugello Circuit, as well as recognising the great potential of motorsports for the development of national sports. Last March, KBS confirmed that no specific funds were given to the Terengganu rider to help him navigate this season's Moto3 campaign. Last Sunday, the 18-year-old racer created a sensational success by achieving his first podium of the season after finishing third in the Italian GP at the Mugello Circuit. The AEON Credit-MT Helmets-MSi team rider was 0.456 seconds (s) behind the race winner, Brian Uriarte from the Red Bull KTM Ajo team who recorded a time of 33 minutes 07.80s while second went to his teammate Alvaro Carpe (33:08.219s). Hakim Danish's achievement at the Italian GP saw him end Malaysia's podium drought in the Moto3 competition since Khairul Idham Pawi last achieved it when he emerged victorious at the Argentine GP in 2016. Dr Mohammed Taufiq also congratulated Judge Danish on the Terengganu-born racer's proud success. Earlier, he said the two-year MOU with the three companies at today's ceremony was a sign of support for the Rakan Muda programme with attractive offers for those who participate in the programme, including discounts on Foodpanda Malaysia and a free two-month subscription fee for Grab Unlimited by Grab Malaysia. -- BERNAMA
