PETALING JAYA, Feb 20 — National track cyclist Datuk Mohd Azizulhasni Awang is waiting for a suitable time to announce the direction of his career, said Youth and Sports Minister Hannah Yeoh.
A 90-minute meeting with the 2020 Tokyo Olympic silver medalist on Monday (February 17) went well and the results are being studied and will be announced soon.
“I have met with Datuk Azizulhasni, we had a good discussion but we are studying the results of the discussion and when the time is right, we will announce it together,” she said after officiating the Olympic Sports Development Programme workshop today.
Meanwhile, Malaysian National Cycling Federation president Datuk Amarjit Singh expressed confidence that the decision would be the best for the country and the sport.
“I have been informed about the meeting between the minister and Azizulhasni but for now I will not issue any statement.
"We will hold a special event to announce his next step and direction to everyone,” he said.
Azizulhasni had earlier confirmed that he would not be competing in the 2025 Asian Track Cycling Championship at National Velodrome in Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, from February 21 to February 27, but did not reject the possibility of returning to cycling.
