“The Borneo Safari is not just any event; it is a testament to the spirit of adventure, teamwork, and resilience. Over the years, it has become an iconic event that draws offroad enthusiasts from locally and across the globe, challenging both man and machine against the rugged and untamed landscapes of Borneo,” he said.
He also announced the association’s partnership with UMW Grantt International Sdn Bhd as its platinum sponsor and official lubricant for the eighth consecutive year.
“This partnership is a natural fit for an event of this magnitude, as both the Borneo Safari and UMW share a commitment to excellence, durability, and pushing boundaries”, said Faez, who is also the event director.
The Letter of Agreement (LoA) signing ceremony between the SFWDA represented by Faez Nordin and Anas Nasrin Mohd Osman, the director of manufacturing and engineering division representing UMW Grantt International Sdn Bhd took place in Selangor on Monday.
