SEPANG: Wong Yi Hou and Ting Chun Hong, who are teammates in the NS Matrix Agong Cup basketball team, are now certain they made the right decision to pick up the game years ago when they were rewarded handsomely after their team emerged national champion for the third consecutive time.
It was a moment to remember for the friends, both aged 26, and seven other teammates when they received keys to an apartment each at the Horizon Suites development in Bandar SunSuria worth RM320,000 from developer Datuk Seri Lee Tian Hock for winning the tournament for the third consecutive time in 2018.
Further motivated by this, NS Matrix made history when they went on to win the tournament again in 2019. "He is such a generous man and has only motivated us to become better players through hard work," he said, adding that he would probably lease the unit for now. "It is also my hope that more corporations will be able to come up with a reward system so that we can take the game to a higher level and make Malaysia a force to be reckoned with in the region," he said."Most sportsmen and sportswomen are already looking at retirement from their respective sport when in their early 30s and after that, many do not have a fixed paying income.
