From 11, 425 candidates, only EIGHT candidates
were shortlisted and this list was announced by Datuk Seri Dr Jamaluddin Jarjis
on 9 February 2006. Dr Sheikh Muszaphar is one of candidates that were listed.
From this moment, Dr Sheikh Muszaphar realized that his dream
was getting closer to become reality.
On 15 March 2006, Datuk Seri Najib Razak
announced the final four of Astronauts at TUDM Subang. The final four were:
- Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor Sheikh Mustapha, 34, Orthopaedic Surgeon
- Vanajah Siva, 35, Senior quality engineer
- Dr Faiz Khaleed, 26, Armed forces dental surgeon
- Mohammed Faiz Kamaluddin, 34, Malaysian Airlines pilot

Three male and one female. The competition between four good friends begins now!
Who is the first Malaysia Astronaut?
For your information, Dr Sheikh
Muszaphar and three candidates need to wait for two month to know the result.
At that time, Sheikh Muszaphar and Faiz still working like usual, whereas
Vanajah had quit her job. Every Candidate gives their full commitment to be the
best in this program and represent our nation. Who is going to be chosen? A
doctor? A female candidate? But no one
knows the result.
On 4 September 2006, the name of two
final candidates was announced at Komplex Bunga Raya, KLIA. Dr Sheikh Muszaphar
is the first candidate that has been chosen to become the first Malaysia Astronaut
and Faiz Khaleed was the backup crew.
