Haier Malaysia Brand Marketing Assistant Director Julian Thean said, “The recently concluded Summer Olympics reinforced badminton’s importance as a form of national pride. Our brand ambassadors Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik brought rhapsody to the nation as they won Malaysia’s first medals in Paris 2024 and become double Olympic bronze medallists. Their motivation, dedication, and sportsmanship are values which we hope to inculcate in Malaysians.”

“Badminton, and sport in general, is a pathway to healthier lifestyles that fosters positive competition and creates a sense of community, bringing people together and encouraging mutual respect and sportsmanship. These are aspects which resonate with Haier’s pursuit of co-creating a better life with users, guided by our purpose of ‘More Creation, More Possibilities’. I am pleased that the competition was received positively and with enthusiasm by Malaysians. Congratulations to all winners,” Thean added.
