Tenaga’s top marksman Azrai hopes his feat will score points with Sarjit
PETALING JAYA: Tenaga Nasional striker Azrai Aizad Abu Kamal was on top of the world after helping his team win the treble for the first time in the Malaysian Hockey League (MHL) on Saturday.
In an intense TNB Cup final at the National Hockey Stadium in Bukit Jalil, Tenaga emerged victorious against Terengganu, winning 4-2 on Saturday with Azrai scoring his 32nd goal of the season to be named the top scorer of the MHL.
Tenaga created history by completing their first treble after winning in the TNB Cup, the Charity Shield, and the league title.
An overjoyed Azrai believes that his form in the MHL will also help him secure a place in national coach Sarjit Singh’s Speedy Tigers training squad.
“I haven’t felt so excited for a long time, we finally proved that we are the team that can achieve the treble today,” said the 24-yearold Azrai.
“Although I am happy to become the top scorer again, the team’s success is more important than personal glory for me.
“It would be great if I could be called up for national team training.”
Meanwhile, Tenaga coach Norsaiful Zaini was also happy to have finally earned the treble as a coach after years of trying.
“In the league title fight, TNB were two points behind at the beginning but the players still managed to withstand the pressure and achieve success,” said Norsaiful.
“Good win for TNB, first treble for us and we are looking forward to preparing a better team next year.”
Norsaiful, who will retire as a Tenaga employee in 2026, said he is willing to guide the team again if he is given the trust to lead them in next year’s MHL.
