PETALING JAYA:
Norza Zakaria has officially retained his post as president of the Olympic Council of Malaysia (OCM) for the 2025-2029 term.

He was returned unopposed for a third term at OCM’s 44th annual general meeting (AGM) in Kuala Lumpur today, Bernama reported.

Norza has been helming the OCM since 2018.

He said he did not 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 said after the AGM, adding that it was crucial to empower the Olympic movement in the country.

Malaysian Karate Federation president Nur Azmi Ahmad was elected as OCM deputy president, taking over from Football Association of Malaysia president Hamidin Mohd Amin, who chose not to defend the post.

Nur Azmi garnered 70 votes to defeat Malaysian Lawn Bowls Federation president Awalan Abdul Aziz (20 votes).

Following is the full list of OCM office-bearers for the 2025-2029 term:

  • President: Norza Zakaria
