Year 2020 was a challenging year for everyone including us as an Athlete.

I am so glad that with the support from my family, mentors, friends, sponsors and fans, I managed to do quite well still at least breaking a Guinness World Records!

I am so thankful to have the support from @tenaga_nasional @allianzmalaysia @kbsmalaysia US Potatoes
@isnmalaysia @bauerfeindsportsmalaysia @blackrollmalaysia @fskualalumpur on supporting me on this record-breaking moment. We have proved it despite the Covid-19 Pandemic, we won't be having any mass event, but we were able to host a @guinnessworldrecords attempt. It cost us a total of RM 80k for this event, and we were able to secured it, special thanks to @tenaga_nasional and @allianzmalaysia for doubling up the sponsorship amount in the end.

Other than breaking the Guinness World Records, I would like to share a great news with all of you that since the end of 2019 from Guang Zhou International Vertical Marathon Final until my last race in Loros Tower Run, a total of 7 Towerrunning Races, I secured a 100% Winning Rate 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 (with 5 New Course Records).

Also after a 22 races between me and the World Champion @towerrunner Piotr Łobodziński since Aug 2017 in Beijing, I managed to beat him for the first time in my life. He is one of the Towerrunner that I looked up to since the first race in Beijing. He is my European Brother and we always went out to have meal, run here and there prior to the race and train together after the race. Looking forward to visit you in Poland and take part in the Warsaw Rondo 1 Tower Run.

In year 2021, it won't be easy and it filled with lots of uncertainties. My No. 1goal is to achieve World No. 1 in the sport when all the races are back and at the same time maintain all the winning streak!

Other than that, while there might not have any other events, I want to fine tune my performance and have a breakthrough for it to make the impossible possible!

I would like to thank all my 2020 sponsors as well.

In the end, I would like to wish everyone of you a Happy New Year!
