---

 


Norza Zakaria officially retained his post as president of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) for the 2025-2029 term after being returned unopposed at OCM’s 44th annual general meeting (AGM) in Kuala Lumpur today.
Norza, who will be helming the OCM for a third term since 2018, said those elected would have to pull their weight in the governing body.
“I don’t want passengers on board. If we rely only on the president or deputy president (to get all the work done), we won’t have such a big team,” he told reporters after the AGM, adding that it was crucial to empower the Olympic movement in the country.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Karate Federation (Makaf) president Nur Azmi Ahmad was elected OCM deputy president, taking over from Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) president Hamidin Mohd Amin, who chose not to defend the post.
ADSNur Azmi garnered 70 votes to defeat Malaysian Lawn Bowls Federation (MLBF) president Awalan Abdul Aziz (20 votes).
“I want to thank Norza for giving me this opportunity (to stand for election). I believe we can work as a team. We win as one and lose as one,” said Nur Azmi.
Following is the full list of OCM office-bearers for the 2025-2029 term:
President: Norza Zakaria
