Profile of Muhd irfan Haqqim Azhar

This is a special profile of a potential boy from Selangor. The name is Muhd Irfan Haqqim Azhar, age 11. He was born on 1st Dec 1997, at Hospital Mentakab Pahang. Currently a standard 5 Tanjung student of SK Jenjarom Kuala Langat. He once told his parents that he wanted to be a pilot when he grew up, but right now, lets focus on his current interest, which is CHESS.

He has achieved a tremendeous success for the year 2007, in U-12 category, check out below :
