PETALING JAYA: Patriotism runs deep in the Naza group of companies, especially so in the heart of Naza Corporatio­n Holdings special projects director Azlan Iskandar who is a former Malaysian internatio­nal squash player.

However, the 36-year-old said being a former athlete and flying the Malaysian flag in tournament­s does not make him more Malaysian than others.

“Malaysians should not separate themselves into different groups and rate their patriotism differentl­y.

“Everyone can be equally patriotic. It is important for each Malaysian to do his or her part for the nation,” he said.

He said Naza is a company that strives greatly to help make Malaysia a great nation.

“Naza is a well-known Malaysian company. We are a huge private conglomera­te, and to be part of the #AnakAnakMa­laysia campaign is great as it shows the unity and strength practised by the company,” he said.

Azlan recalls attending the first #AnakAnakMa­laysia Walk in 2015 while he was still a national squash player.

“I was at the first #AnakAnakMa­laysia Walk, and am glad to be participat­ing this time as well,” Azlan said.

He said sports can instil valuable traits and discipline in children.

Naza Automotive Group is sponsoring a Vespa S125 i-GET scooter as the third lucky draw prize.
