Kuala Lumpur: Datuk Seri Shahidan Kassim will continue to lead Malaysia Aquatics (MAS) as president for the 2025-2027 term after winning the position uncontested in the swimming federation’s elections ahead of its annual general meeting on June 27.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, this was confirmed by MAS secretary-general Andy Low, who stated that no challengers submitted nominations for the post by the closing date on June 13. Alongside Shahidan, Marilyn Chua Yu Ching was also elected as deputy president, Anthony Ang Kang Keam as vice-president, and Nurul Huda Abdullah as assistant secretary, all securing their positions uncontested.

Andy Low further mentioned that the only positions to be contested at the upcoming AGM are for the MAS committee members. A total of six nominations were received, although only five committee members are needed.

Shahidan, who also serves as Arau MP, has been at the helm of MAS since 1995, when the organization was previously known as the Amateur Swimming Union of Malaysia (ASUM).
