Hafiz Syahrin successful racing world racing.
How not, the Malaysian racer became the first person in Southeast Asia who appeared in MotoGP.
Then who is the figure who made Syahrin successful like this?
There are no shortcuts to success, including being a rider.
That's what always emphasized Abdullah Harun who is the father of a rider from Malaysia, Hafiz Syahrin Abdullah.
Hafizh has just signed a contract with Monster Yamaha Tech3 and will become a Southeast Asian rider who can compete in the most prestigious motor racing event in the world, MotoGP.
For Abdullah, he believes that it is very important to give a strong foundation in achieving success in any sport before the child is allowed to race.
"If you look at how Europeans develop a rider, they take a much more patient approach and focus on something fundamental with less emphasis on racing at the start," said Abdullah quoted BolaSport.com from NST.
"I believe we have to educate and train our riders well, before we let them race.
This is how I developed Hafizh because there is no shortcut to success, "continued Abdullah.
Abdullah who is a former 50-year-old mechanic was then told how to be a biker on the track will make a person's life is different.
"You have to take it step by step at any time.
You can not follow the standard two or three and go straight to university.
You do, you have to go to junior high school and then to pre-university, and others, "said Abdullah made an anology.
After emphasizing that no success is achieved instantly, Abdullah said that he has prepared his son to become a rider since the age of Hafizh is still very young.
Preparations are now sweet fruit, Hafizh will become the first rider in Southeast Asia who appeared in MotoGP and race along with a row of elite pebelap like Valentino Rossi (Yamaha), Marc Marquez (Repsol Honda), and so forth.
Hafiz debut will begin on the Qatar GP to be held March 18, 2018.
