Over time, this initiative expanded into Piala MYS, incorporating advanced systems to enhance the competition.
Under his leadership, Liga MYS grew to include:
- Liga Futsal MYS
- Piala Merdeka
- Liga MYS 2025

Before its formation, he organized a joint go-kart race between the Ministry and Boekcoi, a private company. Following the success of these initial events, NMoC became the hub for motorsport activities in Malaysia.
Notable motorsport events hosted by NMoC:
- Malaysian Endurance Porsche Championship
- F1 Race
- Cub Prix

International contributions
Che'zi has played an active role in several international sports organisations, contributing to the development of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF), and CONMEBOL through various collaborative initiatives and sporting programmes.
He is widely regarded as one of the key figures behind the global Olympic movement in the Roblox community, serving as one of its principal architects and driving forces. Together with YutaJuniory of Thailand, he worked tirelessly to establish the Roblox Olympic Council (ROC), laying the foundation for what is set to become the first-ever Roblox Olympic Games.
Prior to establishing the Olympic movement, Che'zi was already widely recognised for his contributions to regional sports. He was the first to organise international-level competitions across multiple disciplines, including badminton, football, motorsports, and even Formula One, during the peak of the nation's sporting era under his administration.
These competitions attracted participation from numerous countries, extending beyond ASEAN to include nations such as Australia, Canada, and Mexico, significantly enhancing the country's international sporting profile and fostering greater global sporting cooperation.
