For mum Christina Chee, cheerleading has been “very meaningful” as it has helped her two shy teenage daughters come out of their shell.

Chee’s younger daughter, Chew Xiao Wei, 12 is part of the national team’s youth division, Team Malaysia Youth All Girls (TMYAG), who recently competed in Orlando, Florida in the United States, winning the gold in the International Cheerleading Cup 2024 (April 28 - 29) and the bronze in the ICU World Cheerleading Championship 2024 (April 24 - 26).
