Meanwhile, Qabil’s father, Azlan Abdul Rahman, acknowledged that his son’s victory resonates beyond personal achievement—it’s a win for the people of Malaysia.

“Many Malaysians have been praying for Qabil’s success, so I am very grateful to friends who came here to support and celebrate with us,” expressed Azlan.

Despite the joyous occasion, Azlan remains cautious about elevating his son too high too soon. “Don’t praise him too much; let’s maintain our performance as usual. I don’t want my son to be praised too highly because that can be detrimental, in my opinion.”

Azlan pledged to guide Qabil in the 190cc shift, recognizing ZK Racing’s pivotal role in his son’s journey. “Regarding the switch to the 190cc class, I will try my best to guide him. Without ZK Racing, he wouldn’t be where he is today,” affirmed Azlan.
