“We are incredibly proud of our daughter, Dk Raisya. Watching her grow and accomplish such milestones at a young age is an indescribable feeling. Her dedication, perseverance, and passion for taekwondo have been truly inspiring to us as parents,” he said.
He added that her hard work and commitment have paid off, and seeing her represent Brunei on an international level fills the family with pride and joy.
“It’s not just about her personal achievements, but also about showcasing the talent and potential within our country. We hope her journey inspires other young athletes to pursue their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals,” he said.
Dayangku Raisya’s success highlights the growing talent in Brunei’s martial arts community and serves as an inspiration for young athletes striving for excellence.
