KOTA KINABALU: The main committee members of Sabah Four Wheel Drive Association (SFWDA) successfully retained their respective roles in the association following its recently concluded 12th Annual General Meeting (AGM), here last week.

“We must have good networking approaches if we want to make SFWDA one of the most active extreme motorsport associations in the country and all these visions can only be polished up if there is support and cooperation from all our members,” he said.
“I wish to thank the members who elected me for another term and also members from afar such as from Sarawak and Brunei who have placed their trust in me and my committee to lead the association for the betterment of all our members.”
Faez pointed out they would continue to work closely with all the relevant authorities and the government in any eventualities or natural disasters and also to carry out frequent charitable activities for the needy.
He wants to see all district 4×4 clubs, that are legal entities to promote not only 4×4 challenges but also to assist the government’s efforts in promoting tourism through extreme motorsport events like the upcoming annual 31st Borneo Safari International Off-Road Challenge expected to be held later this year.
