At the same time, Ahmad Zahid expressed his hope that both Muhamad Shah Firdaus and national track cycling icon Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang will continue their efforts to advance cycling sport in Malaysia.

“I am confident that one day, Malaysia will win cycling gold,” he added.

Meanwhile, Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh also extended her gratitude to Muhamad Shah Firdaus for his unwavering effort for Malaysia.
