From pioneering Malaysia’s highlands hospitality scene to creating one-of-a-kind entertainment experiences, Resorts World Genting and Genting SkyWorlds are homegrown icons that put a little Malaysian magic on the world stage. Since opening in 2022, Genting SkyWorlds has added a whole new dimension of thrills to Malaysia’s entertainment map.
More than four years on, we’ve found an up-and-coming star who shares our spirit of ambition, courage, and determination, inspiring Malaysians to go beyond limits. Cue the fanfare…we’re proud to introduce Hakim Danish as our very first official ambassador!
Who Is Hakim Danish?
Born in Kuala Terengganu, this 19-year-old has already made our country proud at his young age (most of us probably hung out at mamak stalls at that age). A Malaysian Moto3 rising star, he became the first Malaysian rider in a decade to achieve a podium finish at the 2026 Moto3 World Championship. The Championship is the premier global motorcycle racing championship for lightweight, entry-level Grand Prix bikes, featuring some of the world’s most promising young riders.
Hakim says, “I’d like to say a huge thank you to Genting SkyWorlds for giving me this opportunity and putting their trust in me. I believe I can explore many more things here and build my confidence and character through this experience as an ambassador. I’m really happy to come here because it gives me a chance to relieve some of the stress from racing. Genting SkyWorlds is a place where I can relax, challenge myself and try new things. It’s a great opportunity for me to reset when I’m back in Malaysia.”
Getting To Know Him More
We recently did an interview with Hakim (in Bahasa Malaysia) on an episode of ‘Kalaulah Aku Tahu’ hosted by Adlin, and here are some of the highlights:
1. Racing Career & Milestones: He talks about the challenges of transitioning to a competitive environment in Europe, his training routines, and the intense pressure of professional racing. He also recounts the emotional and strategic victory at the Czech Republic Grand Prix
2. Personal Sacrifices: He shares the difficulty of moving to Sepang for training and being away from his family in Terengganu, emphasising that his passion for racing helps him overcome these hardships.
3. Advice for Youth: He encourages young Malaysians to set clear targets, work hard, and surround themselves with positive support systems, reminding them that persistence can turn seemingly ‘impossible’ goals into reality. Malaysia boleh!

Hakim Danish’s Top 5 Favourite Rides at Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park
Malaysian racing star Hakim Danish knows exactly what it takes to ride like a champion. Now, he has shared his Top 5 favourite theme park rides that will fuel your adrenaline. Ready to ride like a pro? Try them all and unleash your inner champion!
1. Acorn Adventure
"The twists, turns, and sudden drops remind me of the adrenaline rush of motorcycle racing. Just like on the track, you never know what comes next, and that's what makes it so exciting. Every corner keeps you on your toes, just like every lap in a race."
2.Samba Gliders
"As a racer, I'm always focused on what's ahead. On Samba Gliders, I get to experience a completely different perspective. Soaring 65 feet above the ground and taking in the views of Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park feels like flying. It's a unique sense of freedom that you don't normally get on the racetrack."
3.Alpha Fighter Pilots
"This ride is all about control, precision and quick decision-making, which are also essential in motorcycle racing. You're in charge of your own ride, and the interactive battle challenges your reflexes and concentration. It feels a lot like managing a race strategy under pressure."
4. Boot Camp Training
“I enjoy Boot Camp Training because each challenge helps me grow stronger, both mentally and physically.”
5. Terraform Tower Challenge
Terraform Tower Challenge is one of my favourite rides because of its thrilling drops, unexpected twists, and non-stop adrenaline. The immersive experience keeps every ride exciting, making it a must-try for anyone seeking a real challenge!
“I’d like to invite everyone to come and challenge yourselves, try the rides and have some fun. You can come here to relax, too — and who knows, you might even bump into me!” Hakim shares.
