00:00I don't know what to say after this.
00:22My name is Charbel Mota.
00:24I'm 19 years old.
00:26I'm the youngest of four siblings.
00:29I'm from Pasir Gudang, Johor.
00:33I'm studying to be an SPM in Langkawi.
00:39I'm currently studying for a post-study course at UITM Araw, Perlis.
00:44The fish I'm fishing is a salamander.
00:47I've been fishing salamanders for almost 9 years.
00:52This is my 9th year.
00:54My siblings used to play in this sport.
00:59When I was 10 years old, my family asked me to join this sport.
01:06So I just followed them.
01:08Thank God, I've made it this far.
01:11If you want to work and study at the same time, it's a lot of work.
01:16If you don't want to train, you have to find a suitable time.
01:23I'm going to do fitness training twice a week.
01:29Then I'll go to a nearby gym for strength training.
01:34At the end of the week, I'll go to the beach for water training.
01:39The most challenging thing for me is when I have to be away from my family.
01:45I started when I was 15 years old.
01:47I've been called up for the national team.
01:51For me, it's not easy.
01:54When you're young, you have to be away from your family.
01:59When I was young, I was different.
02:03When you're young, you have to be away from your family.
02:07When I was 15 years old, I only trained.
02:14I went to school and trained.
02:17It was challenging for me.
02:19I was mentally unstable in the first year.
02:23In the second year, I was able to adapt.
02:26So I just accepted the challenge.
02:29We have three medals here.
02:32I won a medal in Cambodia.
02:37I won a gold medal.
02:38It was hard for me to fight for the gold medal.
02:41The conditions at the time didn't allow it.
02:46But thank God, I was able to fight for the gold medal.
02:51The second medal is when I competed in the Langkawi Youth Challenge.
02:57It was challenging for me.
02:59All the national team athletes know that the race course in Langkawi is one of the biggest.
03:10It was challenging for me.
03:13I had to fight against my national team.
03:17The third medal is my latest medal.
03:20It was when I competed in Vietnam.
03:22It was a sailing and stand-up padel race.
03:26I wasn't prepared for the race in Vietnam.
03:30I was busy training.
03:33I was busy studying.
03:35The coach called me to participate in the race.
03:39So I went.
03:41In three days, they had nine races.
03:48So it was a bit tough.
03:50But I managed to win the gold medal.
04:05I recently received a special award for the best male athlete in this semifinal.
04:20The award was given to me by the head of the faculty.
04:25The award was given to the senior batch.
04:30In the last three years, my achievements have attracted the attention of the head of the faculty.
04:40For me, it was a happy moment.
04:45It was also a request from my late mother.
04:49She wanted to see her son climb the podium and receive the award.
04:57I fulfilled my responsibility.
05:01I was happy to receive the award that night.
05:09In the country, my senior, Karun Rizal Muammar Effendi,
05:16was very persistent.
05:20He worked very hard to achieve something.
05:25He must have his own tactics.
05:27I have been training with him for almost three years.
05:32If I feel embarrassed to ask for my coach's help,
05:37I will ask him.
05:38For me, he has a lot of experience.
05:40He has participated in the Olympics three times.
05:45For me, he has a lot of experience.
05:47In the country, I like BKB Cat from England.
05:53I admire his efforts.
05:59We usually sit by the sea for more than six hours.
06:04Because of the weather,
06:07sometimes we get off at eight in the morning,
06:10and we have to dive for an hour or an hour and a half.
06:13Most of the time, we race for an hour.
06:22They do three races a day.
06:25We eat for three hours.
06:27When the race is over, we wait for the wind.
06:30That's when we eat.
06:33Sometimes, we are tired not because of the race,
06:37but because of waiting for the wind.
06:39For me, Sukarno is a good coach.
06:43He can challenge me mentally.
06:47When I joined Sukarno,
06:51I felt that everything was used during the race.
06:54The weather, the shape of the earth, the direction of the wind.
07:00At the same time,
07:03everyone can learn about the condition of the place in a short time.
07:08Then they can adapt.
07:10At the same time, they can challenge their mentality.
07:14Not everyone has a strong mentality during a race.
07:18They have to face it first,
07:20and then their mentality will improve.
07:23Then they will be able to face other things.
07:30For me, the meaning of Remaja Malaysia is
07:33a young man who is not easy to change his mind.
07:36A young man who always values victory to achieve something.
07:41As we know, the young people in Malaysia
07:45always want something,
07:49and when they want something,
07:52they will fight until they achieve it.
07:55I am Asha Benmota,
07:57an athlete from Johor province,
07:59and a science student at YTM Police.
08:01I am a young man from Malaysia.
