His Majesty showed interest in the project as he listened to Md Hanif.
Md Hanif gracefully told his Majesty that the new bicycle was generously sponsored by The Energy Division
SMMG Energy Club members and those who present were quite amazed and proud to have his Majesty personally ride on the bicycle to try out the "Family Fitness For Energy" himself.
His Majesty kept on asking questions about the project as he sat on the bike.
His Majesty jokingly asked Md Hanif to cycle for one hour to recharge the battery...
A reporter from Borneo Bulletin interviewed Md Hanif shortly after that...
