As the nation bursts with pride, showering our athletes with praise for their incredible performances at the ongoing Paris Olympics, AirAsia’s CEO, Tony Fernandes, has hinted at a huge surprise for our athletes.
In a clip posted on his social media, Tony shared the moment he watched our National Men’s Doubles pair, Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik, secure a well-deserved bronze medal.
He captioned the post: “Mother’s pride @sohwooiyik and country finally got a deserved Bronze. What a match. Well done @aaronchiatengfong. A fight and mental strength at last.”
While the nation cheered for the pair’s stellar achievement, netizens were quick to suggest that AirAsia should step up and reward the athletes.
Some asked for discounted flight tickets, others for a sponsored holiday, and one cheeky comment even requested free flights for the pair and for Pearly-Thinaah.
In true Tony Fernandes style, he didn’t just leave the comments hanging.
When one netizen asked, “Can they get free flight tickets? Also to Pearly Thinaah?”, the ever-generous Tony responded with a simple but exciting, “This can.”
Talk about being the coolest CEO!
Not only does he celebrate the hard work and achievements of our athletes, but he’s also making dreams come true by awarding them with free flight tickets.
Thank you sir, you are the best!
But that’s not all
It was recently reported that bronze medalists Lee Zii Jia, Aaron Chia, and Soh Wooi Yik will also be receiving brand new SUVs and RM100K each as a reward for their triumph.
A massive congratulations to our athletes for bringing home these coveted medals.
And a big shoutout to all our other athletes for pouring their hearts and souls into this 2024 Olympics. You guys are truly amazing!
