Hail The King

Malaysia has a new king yesterday, Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin, the second youngest king ever.

Excerpt from Channel News Asia :

Quote : According to a biography released by the Terengganu palace, his interests centre on sports, notably football, golf and scuba diving, and he has a black belt in taekwondo.

But horses are his real passion. He has competed in numerous competitions in Malaysia and abroad, winning first place in two equestrian events in Australia in 2004.

He represented Malaysia in the World Equestrian Games in Germany in August this year, and helped the country win the rights to host the World Endurance Championship in Terengganu in 2008. End Quote.


And you know what, he was scheduled to represent Malaysia in the equestrian event in the 2006 Asian Games in Doha~! But had to withdraw due the date clashed with the crowning ceremony. What a pity. haha... else we'd get to see our King performs~ but... looking at the incident of the Korean rider (who died in a game)... better not...
