Literal goosebumps!
Imagine seeing a “pendekar” amongst a sea of (shirtless, ahem) fitness enthusiasts, bet you’d blink twice.
That was certainly the case for Captain Raeiz Hamed, whose participation in the Hyrox Asian Championship held in Hong Kong, grabbed headlines for his traditional and modest look.
The fitness coach not only recorded an impressive performance in the championship’s arduous challenges, but he also did it seamlessly.
Speaking on the reasoning behind the attire, Raeiz eagerly shared that the material made his moves more flexible, compared to baju Melayu.
Proud viewers have praised him for showcasing Malay heritage on an international platform, and called his dedication in completing the race inspiring to youngsters.
