CIMB Expands Squash Sponsorship

The major sponsor of the Malaysia Open squash tournament, CIMB Investment Bank, has expanded its sponsorship of the sport by signing an endorsement deal with popular Asian squash champion, Nafiizwan Adnan.

Adnan is ranked number 33 in the world and will join current women’s world number one, Nicol David and men’s national champion Ong Beng Hee as CIMB ambassadors.

CIMB Investment Bank chief executive, Charon Wardini Mokhzani, said: “He’s one for the future and given what he has achieved, we feel he is the right person to sponsor,” he said.

The company is reported to be considering a further expansion to its squash sponsorship program with insiders saying women’s national number two, Low Wee Wern, might be the next player to become a CIMB brand ambassador.{jcomments on}
