Khor Sek Leng born on (October 25, 1952) in Alor Star has been converted to Islam when he stepped up for a head coach of Kelantan TNB FC football team in 2002 and changed his Muslim name to Mohd Azraai Khor bin Abdullah. Azraai now lives with his wife Rohani Ibrahim, eldest son Mohd Firdaus (age 16), daughters Siti Fairuz (15) and Nor Azryena Khor (5) at their resident in Alor Star.
Early coaching career
His glorious career began eighteen years ago when he and his colleague, Azman Haji Eusoff was just an up and coming tactician, assisting Robert Rene Alberts to create history with a bunch of players included his assistants now Muhd Radhi Mat Din and Ahmad Sobri Ismail, from the second division in 1992 to clean sweep of the domestic football titles in 1993 – Division 1 (the now renamed Malaysian Super League) and Malaysia Cup.
Kelantan TNB FC head coach
Before return to Kedah, Azraai has previously managed Kelantan TNB FC (Kelantan) in 2002 when he was an employee of Tenaga Nasional Berhad, an electricity company in Malaysia.
Kedah head coach
After late Dato' Paduka Ahmad Basri Akil brought him, with his fantastic "Midas touch", Azraai gives a miracle for Kedah after they've been dropped to the last place in 2004 Malaysia Super League competition. Kedah on that time handled by Mirandinha. After Miradinha left the job, Azraai has rejuvenated the team and creates fantastic achievements in Malaysia Cup competition when he led Kedah through to the 2004 Final, but they lost 1-0 against Perlis FA.
Successive 'double treble'
Azraai now became the only coach, to win double treble champions in successive 2006/07 and 2007/08 seasons. After he clinched the third cup in Malaysian football arena, coach Azraai also regarded the 2006/07 Malaysian Favourite Coach Award in 100Plus-F.A.M National Football Awards as an additional motivation after his team won three titles - Malaysian FA Cup, Malaysian Super League, and Malaysia Cup in 2006/07 season and also as a boost for the future of football in Kedah and in the country. And a few hours before he creates another historical moment of Malaysian football on 23 August 2008, he once again awarded as the 2007/08 Malaysian Best Coach Award in the same awards after Kedah retained the 2007/08 Malaysian Super League and Malaysian FA Cup trophies for second consecutive times. And Azraai should deserved the awards after his Kedah wonder boys won the Malaysia Cup final defeated Selangor FA with 3-2 result.
