🇲🇾 AUSTIN, TEXAS | 29 MAC 2026 – Hakim Danish…
🇲🇾 KUALA LUMPUR, 26 February 2026 – AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad (“AEON Credit” atau “Kumpulan”) memperkukuhkan komitmen dalam pembangunan bakat muda berprestasi tinggi apabila tampil sebagai penaja utama pasukan MSi Racing Team bagi menghadapi saingan Kejuaraan Motosikal Dunia (“MotoGP”) dalam kelas Moto3™ musim 2026.
Pelaburan strategik selama setahun ini menandakan langkah progresif AEON Credit dalam menyokong ekosistem sukan permotoran negara, khususnya sebagai pemangkin utama dalam memacu potensi pelumba berbakat negara, Hakim Danish Ramli, yang bakal meneruskan perjalanan di pentas dunia.
Inisiatif berimpak tinggi ini merupakan kesinambungan kepada sokongan berterusan AEON Credit terhadap pelumba berusia 19 tahun itu, selepas merealisasikan penyertaan wildcard Moto3™ di Grand Prix (“GP”) Malaysia tahun lalu.
Keputusan untuk memeterai kerjasama strategik ini dibuat susulan prestasi cemerlang dan konsisten yang dipamerkan Hakim Danish sepanjang musim 2025, khususnya dalam dua kejuaraan utama di Eropah iaitu FIM JuniorGP (“JrGP”) dan Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.
Hasil pencapaian tersebut, pelumba yang lahir daripada program pembangunan Litar Antarabangsa Sepang (“SIC”) itu bukan sahaja berjaya menaiki podium dalam saingan JrGP, malah mencipta sejarah tersendiri apabila menamatkan kempen Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup di kedudukan ketiga keseluruhan, sekali gus mengukuhkan reputasinya sebagai antara prospek terbaik Asia di pentas dunia. Menerusi kerjasama ini, pasukan berkenaan akan beroperasi di bawah penjenamaan baharu iaitu AEON Credit–MT–MSi dan dijangka menyediakan platform sokongan menyeluruh bagi memastikan kesinambungan prestasi serta perkembangan kerjaya Hakim Danish di peringkat tertinggi.
Inisiatif ini juga menyokong objektif penjenamaan dan pemasaran AEON Credit yang lebih luas dengan meningkatkan kehadiran jenama di platform sukan permotoran antarabangsa sekaligus memperkukuhkan penglibatan dengan pelanggan dan komuniti, serta memperlihatkan Kumpulan menyokong pembangunan bakat belia dalam jangka masa panjang.
Pengarah Urusan dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif AEON Credit, Encik Daisuke Maeda, menekankan bahawa inisiatif ini mencerminkan visi jangka panjang Kumpulan untuk mengukuhkan kehadiran jenamanya serta menyumbang secara langsung kepada pembangunan sukan berprestasi tinggi di Malaysia.
“Kerjasama ini merupakan satu pelaburan strategik yang berlandaskan kepercayaan kami terhadap nilai disiplin, ketekunan dan peluang yang ditawarkan oleh sukan permotoran sebagai platform pembinaan generasi masa hadapan.”
“Sukan permotoran selari dengan nilai teras AEON Credit yang menekankan ketabahan, semangat juang dan keunggulan. Kami komited untuk membina ekosistem yang mampan bagi melahirkan juara dan ikon sukan negara pada masa hadapan.”
“Kesungguhan serta kematangan prestasi yang ditunjukkan oleh Hakim Danish sepanjang musim 2025, khususnya ketika aksi wildcard di GP Malaysia, telah mengukuhkan keyakinan kami. Walaupun bersaing atas tiket wildcard, beliau membuktikan kemampuan sebenar dirinya. Melalui kerjasama AEON Credit–MT–MSi, kami berhasrat untuk meningkatkan kesedaran jenama dalam komuniti sukan permotoran sambil menyediakan persekitaran yang stabil agar bakat muda seperti beliau dapat terus berkembang dan mencapai tahap lebih tinggi,” katanya.
Sementara itu, Hakim Danish menyifatkan sokongan AEON Credit sebagai suntikan motivasi utama dalam menghadapi cabaran baharu di saingan Moto3™.
“Sokongan berterusan daripada AEON Credit ini merupakan pembakar semangat terbesar buat saya. Fokus saya kini sepenuhnya untuk membalas kepercayaan yang diberikan dan memberikan prestasi terbaik di pentas dunia.”
“Berita ini pastinya meningkatkan motivasi saya, khususnya menjelang perlumbaan GP Thailand yang dijadual berlangsung dari 28 Februari hingga 1 Mac ini. Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada AEON Credit, Litar Antarabangsa Sepang (“SIC”) serta ZK Racing yang bekerja keras memastikan kerjasama berprestij ini dapat direalisasikan.” katanya.
Sebagai rekod, AEON Credit dan ZK Racing sebelum ini telah memeterai perkongsian strategik bagi pembangunan sukan permotoran Malaysia menerusi Blueprint Pembangunan Sukan Permotoran Malaysia (MDEV), iaitu pelan pembangunan bakat dua roda yang dirangka secara bersama oleh Kementerian Belia dan Sukan (“KBS”) serta SIC.
Dalam perkembangan sama, Pengurus ZK Racing, Zulfahmi Khairuddin, menyifatkan kehadiran AEON Credit sebagai penaja utama tepat pada masanya.
“Komitmen dan pelaburan daripada AEON Credit memberi impak besar kepada kesinambungan program pembangunan yang kami rangka. Tanpa sokongan kukuh daripada rakan korporat strategik seperti AEON Credit, adalah sukar untuk meletakkan bakat muda negara di pentas dunia,” katanya.

🇬🇧 KUALA LUMPUR, 26 February 2026 – AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad (“AEON Credit” or “the Group”) has further strengthened its commitment to developing high-performance young talent by stepping forward as the title sponsor of the MSi Racing Team for the 2026 Moto3™ class of the FIM MotoGP World Championship.
This strategic one-year contractual investment marks a progressive step by AEON Credit in supporting the national motorsport ecosystem, particularly as a key catalyst in driving the potential of Malaysia’s promising rider, Hakim Danish Ramli, who is set to continue his journey on the world stage.
This high-impact initiative reflects AEON Credit’s continued support for the 19-year-old rider, following the Group’s role in facilitating his Moto3™ wildcard appearance at last year’s Malaysian Grand Prix (“GP”).
The decision to formalise this strategic collaboration follows Hakim Danish’s outstanding and consistent performances throughout the 2025 season, particularly in two major European championships — the FIM JuniorGP (“JrGP”) and the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup.
As a result of these achievements, the rider who emerged from the Sepang International Circuit (“SIC”) development programme, not only secured podium finishes in JrGP, but also made his mark in history by finishing third overall in the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup standings, further solidifying his reputation as one of Asia’s most promising talents on the world stage.
Through this collaboration, the team will operate under the new AEON Credit–MT–MSi branding, providing a comprehensive support platform designed to ensure performance continuity and to foster the continued progression of Hakim Danish’s career at the highest level.
The initiative also supports AEON Credit’s broader branding and marketing objectives by enhancing brand visibility across international motorsport platforms, strengthening engagement with customers and communities, and positioning the Group as a long-term supporter of youth talent development.
Mr. Daisuke Maeda, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of AEON Credit, emphasised that this initiative reflects the Group’s long-term vision to strengthen its brand presence while also contributing directly to the development of high-performance sports in Malaysia.
“This collaboration represents a strategic investment grounded in our belief in the values of discipline, perseverance and the opportunities that motorsport offers as a platform for shaping the next generation.
“Motorsport aligns closely with AEON Credit’s core values, which emphasise resilience, fighting spirit and excellence. We are committed to building a sustainable ecosystem that nurtures future champions and national sporting icons.
“The determination and performance maturity demonstrated by Hakim Danish throughout the 2025 season, particularly during his wildcard appearance at the Sepang GP, has strengthened our confidence. Despite competing on a wildcard entry, he proved his true capabilities. Through the AEON Credit–MT–MSi partnership, we aim to enhance brand awareness among the motorsport community while providing a stable environment that allows young talents like him to continue developing and reach greater heights,” he said.
Meanwhile, Hakim Danish described AEON Credit’s support as a major source of motivation as he prepares to take on new challenges in Moto3™. “AEON Credit’s support is a tremendous boost for me. My focus now is fully on repaying the trust placed in me by delivering my very best performance on the world stage.
“This news certainly increases my motivation, especially ahead of the Thailand GP scheduled from 28 February to 1 March. I would like to express my sincere appreciation to AEON Credit, Sepang International Circuit (“SIC”) and ZK Racing for their hard work to make this prestigious collaboration a reality,” he said.
For the record, AEON Credit and ZK Racing had previously formalised a strategic partnership to develop Malaysian motorsport through the Malaysian Motorsport Development Blueprint (MDEV), a two-wheel talent development plan jointly formulated by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (“KBS”) and SIC.
In a related development, ZK Racing Team Manager, Zulfahmi Khairuddin, described AEON Credit’s presence as title, timely and impactful.
“The commitment and investment from AEON Credit have a significant impact on the continuity of the development programme we have structured. Without strong backing from strategic corporate partners such as AEON Credit, it would be difficult to place Malaysia’s young talents on the world stage,” he said.
