BUSINESSMAN Mohamed Azar Ismail was elected president of the Equestrian
Association of Malaysia (EAM) at their annual general meeting at the Bukit
Kiara Equestrian Club yesterday.
He beat former vice-president Fathil Mahmood, a founder member, 51-23.
Azar thanked Tan Sri Musa Hitam, who led EAM since 1993, for putting the
association on a strong footing before.
"Now that the elections are over, all club members must work closely to
help develop young talent," said Azar.
EAM, said, Azar, will focus on the 2006 Asian Games which Malaysia hope
to host.
Azar, who is the director of the Gallops Ranch near Putra Jaya, is
especially keen on junior development.
"In a nutshell, our main task will be to produce a six-year masterplan
to prepare for the 2006 Asian Games," he said.
Musa was appointed honorary member of the EAM.
