For their golden feats at the Kuala Lumpur 2017 SEA Games, sprinter Khairul Hafiz Jantan and shuttler Goh Jin Wei received a windfall of RM10,000 each from their sponsors, 100PLUS, here today.

Khairulbrought the house down when he won a stunning 100-metre race while Jin Wei delivered a smashing performance in the women’s singles final at the KL SEA Games. Both Khairul and Jin Wei are 100PLUS Brand Ambassadors.

“Khairul defied the immense pressure and ran an epic race which he convincingly won. The victory will go down in our sporting history and will long be remembered by Malaysians. Jin Wei meanwhile also managed to overcome the odds to claim a well-deserved gold medal,” said Ms Leong Wai Yin, 100PLUS Marketing Manager at a Press Conference today.

In recognition of their tremendous efforts, 100PLUS, the nation’s No.1 isotonic beverage, decided to reward the golden duo with the cash rewards. Both Khairul and Jin Wei lived up to the 100PLUS spirit of pushing themselves to the limit in their quest for success at the KL SEA Games.

“Like all Malaysians, we at 100PLUS are extremely proud of Khairul and Jin Wei. They are both young and have a bright career ahead of them. We will continue to support them and look forward to even more successful performancesin the coming years.”

There are two major events next year, the Commonwealth Games in April and the Asian Games in September, and hopefully these two athletes will be involved and bring more cheers to Malaysian fans.

Khairul thanked 100PLUS for supporting him. “100PLUS signed me up just prior to the SEA Games and that was a huge boost to me. I will train hard and will push the limits to bring more honour and glory to Malaysia.”

Jin Wei meanwhile also said having 100PLUS as a sponsor had lifted her confidence. “It makes a significant difference for a player like me when we have the support of a major brand like 100PLUS,” said Jin Wei, who was unable to attend today’s function as she is away competing in the World Junior Championships in Indonesia.

The golden exploits of Khairul and Jin Wei were even more memorable for 100PLUS as the brand was also a Silver Sponsor for KL 2017 and provided 100PLUS Active to all the competitors.

Apart from Khairul and Jin Wei, the other 100PLUS Brand Ambassadors are Datuk Lee Chong Wei, Chan Peng Soon, Goh Liu Ying, Goh V Shem, Tan Wee Kiong and Ahmad KhairulAnuar.
