NAZA World, Harley-Davidson of Kuala Lumpur (NAZA Prestige Bikes Sdn Bhd), and Ducati Malaysia (Next Bikes Sdn Bhd) have recently accepted the invitation from Make-A-Wish Foundation Malaysia to partake in a mission to grant a wish of a young boy who is suffering from Leukemia. The wish maker, Baim, 5 years old, is battling against Leukemia, and is now in remission with a good chance of recovery.

Unlike other kids around his age, Baim is fond of big boy toys. Like father like son, Baim shares the same passion with his father, Masdar, 29, for motorcycles. Baim request with the Make-A-Wish team is for a powered miniature motorcycle.

An anonymous private sponsor ‘bought’ Baim’s wish at the Wish Ball fund raising event held by Make-A-Wish Foundation last year. In order to make the evening a memorable one that is filled with joy, laughter and a unique unforgettable experience, Make-A-Wish Foundation Malaysia reached out to NAZA World to help make Baim’s wish come true.
