He wrote, “I’m deeply saddened to share that we have decided to withdraw from hosting the Formula E race. As a proponent of sustainable transportation and innovative urban mobility solutions, this decision is a significant step back for our country.”

“Formula E represents more than just a race; it’s a platform for advancing electric vehicle technology, promoting sustainable practices, and showcasing our commitment to a greener future. Our participation would have bolstered our standing in the global movement towards eco-friendly urban transportation.”

 

Despite the disheartening news, he urges Malaysia to keep striving for betterment.
