The 2014 Malaysia National Yo-yo Contest was held on June 6th and 7th, and marked the tenth edition of the contest!
This 1A winner was Zafran Aqil, who had placed third last year. While he did not have the cleanest routine, he kept his cool, and took the crown with plenty of pretty cool arm combos.
Veteran Ewin Ee took first in 2A and 4A, adding to his massive collection of national titles, while trick monster Hassan Marialis was once again crowned 3A, his second in the division back to back. 5A also had last year’s winner keep the crown, with Alif Izwan winning his third title in a row!

Malaysian yoyo player Zafran Aqil got a nice write-up in The Star Online, a Malaysian newspaper. Article excerpt below!
Get personal with Zafran Aqil, one of Malaysia’s top yo-yo players.
THE yo-yo craze might already be dead, but someone clearly forgot to tell art student Zafran Aqil, 19. And it’s a good thing no one did either, because the guy is now one of the best yo-yo players in the country!
Zafran has been successful not just in local yo-yo competitions, but in overseas ones as well. He placed third in the Central Malaysian Yo-yo Contest 2012, and was once invited to the Philippines as a guest performer at a competition!
He’s now sponsored by Singaporean yo-yo brand Diamont Noir, as well as clothing label Menagé.
He specialises in the 1A category, where the player performs string tricks with a single “sleeping” yo-yo. A sleeping yo-yo is one that continues spinning even after it has reached the end of the string.
Zafran admits that he was one of those who got caught up in the trend as a kid. He bought his first yo-yo when he was 14, and it cost him RM40. Now he has over 15 yo-yos, collectively worth at least RM3,000!
