Jockey A’Isisuhairi Kasim, born in Kelantan, Malaysia, returned home in May 2026 after ending a two-year stint racing in Seoul, South Korea, citing family reasons for his move to Kuala Lumpur [1, 2]. He rode his last winner, King Honor, on May 3, 2026, concluding his South Korean career with 70 wins out of a total 474 career victories [1, 2].
Before moving to Seoul in 2024, A’Isisuhairi developed his riding skills in New Zealand and spent over a decade based in Singapore from 2012 to 2024. Although he rarely rode in Singapore during this time, he logged four winners in occasional local rides [1, 2].
Known for his effectiveness as a lightweight jockey, he boasts 13 feature race wins, including two prestigious Group 1 titles—the Raffles Cup in 2017 and the Kranji Mile in 2021 [1, 2].
A’Isisuhairi explained his return home: "I’m back mainly because I missed my family. They are currently still in Singapore but they’ll be moving up to KL soon. The kids need to start school soon. Korea was a good experience, but I missed riding on turf" [1].
His family will relocate from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur to accommodate his children’s schooling [1, 2]. A’Isisuhairi is scheduled to resume competitive racing at Malaysia’s Selangor Turf Club on June 6 and 7, 2026, with six rides booked across the two days [1, 2].
