Paralympic 2016: Residential suite for gold medalists - Naza

Naza Corporation Holdings today announced that Malaysian athletes who win gold at the Rio Paralympics 2016 will also receive a residential suite at Trion 888, Equine Park, Seri Kembangan.

This is an addition to the Kia Sportage that will be rewarded to the gold medalists by Naza.

"The shareholders are proud of our Malaysian Paralympians. Being a homegrown company, Naza will further reward our champions with a residential suite at Trion 888, Equine Park in addition to an All-New Kia Sportage each," said its chairman and chief executive officer, SM Nasarudin SM Nasimuddin.

SM Nasarudin also said that the company has always been committed to sports.

“Just this year alone, we sponsored the biggest competition internationally in women’s squash, the Naza-PSA World Women’s Squash Championship. We will also be the platinum sponsors of the upcoming KL Games 2017.

"Rewarding our very own Paralympic gold medalists this time would add another feather to our hat,” said SM Nasarudin, who is in his first year helming the Paralympics Council of Malaysia as its president.

Meanwhile, Naza TTDI group managing director, SM Faliq SM Nasimuddin said the residential suite is well-catered for the lifestyle of the younger generation.

“Naza TTDI is proud to be part of our group’s initiative to support and reward the success of our paralympic athletes,” he said.

Trion 888, located at Equine Park, Seri Kembangan is being developed by Naza TTDI Sdn Bhd, the property arm of Naza Corporation Holdings.

Malaysia has created history by winning two gold medals at the Rio Paralympics in Brazil, and etching one of the victories by setting a new world record.

The first gold medal was won by Mohamad Ridzuan Mohamad Puzi Sunday (Saturday in Rio de Janeiro) in the 100m T36 (celebral palsy) event and the second by Muhammad Ziyad Zolkefli with a new world record in the Men's Shot Put F20 (intellectual disability) event, also on Sunday.
