KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 — National athletes who successfully bring home a medal at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games will receive a reward in the form of a sports utility vehicle (SUV) by China’s automotive brand Chery, said Chery Malaysia president Leo Chen.
The matter was announced at a collaboration signing ceremony between Chery Malaysia and the National Sports Council (NSC) today as a way of motivating and appreciating the efforts of Malaysian athletes.
"We know they have put in the hard work and long hours of training for the games. We have high hopes that this year, Malaysia will achieve the coveted gold medal that the nation has been eyeing.
"To the Malaysian contingent, know that Chery Malaysia will be cheering you on at every step of the way," he said during today's ceremony.
Chen said the prize was a Tiggo 8 Pro SUV for the gold medalist, an Omoda E5 for the silver medalist, and a Tiggo 7 Pro for the bronze medalist.
