Harleein Tan Nick(s) Uniqlo sponsorship and a prestigious education scholarship
By ALEX WAN – Squash Mad Asian Bureau Editor
“Uniqlo is for everyone. Contrary to their name “Uniqlo” (unique), their clothes are actually simple, essential and universal”, Harleein said when asked how would she like people to view the brand, as their ambassador.

The much bigger catch for Harleein, however, was a prestigious scholarship for her entire secondary education. While many juniors are working towards a college or university scholarship, her securing such a lucrative one at such a young age has simply upped the ante on this angle. The scholarship, worth a combined total of MYR 300k (about GBP 60k), will also cover her private squash coaching sessions in the school with school coach Hafifi Tarmidi.
Kolej Tuanku Jaafar, a famed private boarding school founded by World Squash Federation Patron HRH Tunku Tan Sri Imran ibni Tuanku Jaafar and his siblings in the 80s, is where Harleein has been attending school since she was four plus. The full scholarship is the icing on the cake after the youngster had previously received 25% and 50% scholarship of the school fees previously.

At just a tender age of eleven, Malaysia’s Harleein Tan has joined the ranks of Roger Federer and previously, Novak Djokovic, as ambassadors of major Japanese label Uniqlo. While her deal is nothing in comparison to the economic values of the tennis duo, little Harleein has in other ways been reaping the rewards the sport has presented to her. What makes it sweeter is it came at a time when the world literally came to a complete halt due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Uniqlo encounter was purely by chance. Harleein’s mom Sharmilaa was shopping for her squash skirts, which in Malaysia, is a rather difficult feat as there are only a handful for kids as young as Harleein. After contacting the Uniqlo Public Relations Manager and explaining their difficulty, they sent her a list of clothing Harleein could have all year round in exchange for some social media postings, something which the 11 year old does amazingly well on her Instagram page @harleein.“Uniqlo is for everyone.
